I just bought my 3rd Traynor YBA-3 Custom Special yesterday. No tubes, but I got it for $160 which is a total bargain. It could probably use a recap job, considering it's 38 years old...Stoked!

Just picked up an Acoustic 160 Head and 468 (4x12) Cabinet for $400. Switchable between 60W and 100W, two cascading volume controls, switchable FET or Tube preamp, 5-band graphic EQ, four 6L6 tubes in the power section, five ECC83 in the preamp section. Pretty versatile. It breaks up really nice at high volumes. A bit heavy in the low end with everything flat, but there are enough tweaks to make it sound good.
One of the speakers has a slight buzz when you push the bass, but I can live with it.

Nope no one will believe you. Thats not true cause it's not possible.

Not worth bragging about but it sounds great.

Nice. You get it locally in Canada? Cheapest I ever got a YBA-3 was like $400. But I did once get a 60's YBA-1 (heavily altered circuit and grillecloth) for under $200.

You still got the other two YBA-3's? if so, you might as well sell this one on eBay for about triple what you paid for it.

I got a Sunn Sceptre for 63 bucks.

I also got a 1964 gibson eb0-3 bass for $455.

Yeah, all of them here in Canada. I bought a '67 with pretty beat grillecloth but recently serviced, for $450 & a '72 w/ master volume for $300. I got a YBA 1A for free once, sold it to a friend of a friend for $250, the guy blew the tubes and ended up giving it back to me for nothing about a year later. I spent that $250 to get it recapped and retubed so basically still free.

I can't bear to rid myself of any of them.

I do however really need a YBA 3A for my collection...maybe I'll sell one to raise some cash one day. It's like the holy grail.

Good idea Scott.

Let's see that fucking face of yours you fucking puke.

This fucker (TRIFECTA) sends me stock pics of a V4b and tries to sell it to me. When I tell him to fuck off he starts threatening me. I've tried to hold off on emailing Steve...

Anyone else have this problem?

I bought a Traynor YBA-1A for $100 shipped a few years ago. I also bought a 68 Fender Dual Showman for $350 (which I think someone beat me on earlier in the thread, but still a good deal), and a Marshall JMP 2203 for $550.

Oh so the real reason for your pussy footing passive pussy self comes out. The pic I sent you was stock? Why did you not just say that was your problem, instead of hinting at "after I looked around the forum and saw some of your posts, I think I will pass". There was no mention of you telling me to fuck off (until 2 days ago), like your acting all big now. I asked simply what you meant by that and you didn't reply for days cause your a fucking bitch. Go ahead email steve you little bitch. I had a stock pic of one because when I got the cab I sent it to ampeg saying I just got one of these cabs and wanted info on it. I simply sent you the wrong pic I had in my folder. I will go and put the days date and take a fucking picture of my v4b cab and would do it with the tele except I dont have it anymore. Returning to prove you wrong........
