Very nice Traynor YBA-1. Recently serviced by my favorite amp man and friend Skip. These amps are awesome. If like a Fender Bassman, you’ll like these just as much. Google Traynor YBA1 and Reverb has done a nice write up on the history. These are build like tanks and have traditionally been underestimated which is good for us that want tone and build quality without collector pricing. Notice how the top of the cab removes for access to the chassis. Very clean layout on these amp. This amp has ZERO issues. Weekends between Auburn and Sac.

WORKING Traynor YBA-1 Bass Master Vintage Bass Guitar Tube Amplifier, NO SPEAKER CABINET OR SPEAKER WIRE INCLUDED. I only used the cabinet for testing the amp. From an estate, works good, knowing that some music people can be picky I state that you probably want to have the knob pots cleaned & the amp serviced. I do not know any history on it. I see there is tolex damage on the rear as pictured. See pictures or ask questions for anything else you need to know before purchasing. Offered as described & pictures are part of the description.

Retro Gear Shop is a high-end boutique store located in Nashville, Tennessee. Fender Bassman Head 1965 For sale is a rare vintage Fender Bassman Head 1965. This just got back from servicing by our techs and is fully functional, ready to go, sounds great! Pair of 220k resistors confirms this model is a AB165 pre-CBS / early CBS. Regarding pre-CBS vs early CBS, we’d like to clarify a possible point of contention with early 1965 black panel Fender amps. Apparently some people feel that 1965 is the hard cutoff date for pre-CBS though. We are not experts in any case so please do your own research to verify any appropriate information and analyze the detailed photos yourself to make sure you are comfortable with what you are purchasing. Check out the pictures to make sure you like it.

The fine item you are considering is a Vintage 1970′s Fender Bassman 50 Tube Guitar Bass Amplifier Amp & 2 x15 Speaker Cabinet. This cool vintage silver face Fender Bassman 50 amp head and speaker cabinet combo is in typical used condition, with the amp powering up and sounding great. There are some expected issues, such as the amp clicking and popping for a few minutes once it has been turned on, but eventually it calms down and runs pretty silently. The switches and pots are scratchy from age, and really the amp has been unused in very long storage so it should be gone through by an amp tech, thoroughly internally cleaned and like with most old amps, re-caped, but as I said, it is functional as it is. Just expect it to be in “unrestored” condition and having the various issues an amp from the’70′s that has been in long storage might have. Cosmetically, the map makes a nie overall impression, but the lower right corner of the speaker grille is bending out a bit. Some fresh Velcro would hold this down, as pressure from my finger sets it back into the correct position. Also, there are metal arms that come out of the head designed to attach it to the speaker cabinet, but I do not have the screws that bolt the head to the cabinet. The 2 x 15 cabinet sounds great and has removable wheels on the bottom. Please see my photos to have a look at this nice item.

After the great reaction to the Little Mark Vintage Head, Markbass designed the Mark Vintage Pre. The Mark Vintage Pre delivers a massively wide palette of tone options, from modern sounds to vintage ones to fit pretty much any genre you’re going for. But this pedal is more than just a preamp. You get a tube preamp, a 4 band EQ, two switchable EQ filters, two different types of drive with level and blend controls, a headphone practice amp with an aux-in and headphone out and a switchable effects loop which can also be used as a tuner output. Markbass Mark Vintage Pre Tube Bass Preamp Pedal Metal LN. 4-band EQ / 3-WAY Switch Like the Little Mark Vintage head, MARK VINTAGE PRE 4 Bands EQ section has a new setting on frequencies center, all tuned to offer a pretty balanced tone that easily cuts in the mix, plus a 3-WAY switch with three useful EQ preset options to get very quickly a real FLAT setting, a CUT one with scooped Mids and enhanced Low and High and an OLD one with scooped High to get an old vintage style tone. Two Types of Distortion / Blend Control The Mark Vintage Pre offers two types of distortion (selectable via foot switch). The amount of drive tone, ranging from crunchy overdrive to aggressive distortion, is controlled by the Drive pot. The Blend control allows to mix the Drive tone with the Clean signal of the tube preamp. Adding a bit of distortion during a studio recording gives a’gorgeous’ bass sound cutting in the mix. Boost The Boost switch allows you to boost your signal level to +6 dB and instantly get more headroom whenever you need it. Real DI box The Balanced DI Out is a real DI box with transformer. Aux IN / Headphone OUT / FX LOOP The Mark Vintage Pre includes a headphones output and an aux input for connecting an iPod or MP3 player in order to mix it with your bass sound. This allows discrete playing and practicing anywhere, anytime. Plus, a send/return FX loop to interface your favorite stomp boxes and multi-effect units is also included. True Bypass This pedal features “true bypass” circuit: that means when the Mark Vintage Pre is’off’, there will be no audio signal quality loss. If you’re looking for a virtually new instrument in possibly less-than-perfect packaging, this is a great value. For example, if your order is placed AND paid for at 1 p.
