This is not the YBA but the guitars here on Local Lift (media section) are through the 80W 4X10 and the 80W 2X12. The track subsummer has one guitar and its through the 4X10.

here boy you better wash is the 4X10 and a solid state yorkville bassmaster 400W 15" combo (the company that sells trynors now).

oberkampf is the 4X10 and the 2X12

Yorkville was always the name of the company. That's why the YBA-1, YCV40, YRM-1, YSC-1 etc etc all start with a Y. It stands for Yorkville.

For the sake of clarity, there is no "YBA". There's a YBA-1, YBA-1A, YBA-2, YBA-2A, YBA-2B, YBA-3, YBA-3A, YBA-4, and YBA-5. But no plain old "YBA". YBA stands for "Yorkville Bass Amplifier".

Check out Velvet Black for some generally-great info about vintage Traynor amps.

They just can't be beat for the money. I bought one for a friend for 50 bucks and wished I had kept it. He's my best pal so I reckon I can borrow it though...
They are well built and still a best-kept secret. A lot of the "Chicago Sound" - both guitar and bass - comes from the Traynor. Maybe due to the close proximity to Canada? We don't get many of them here in NC.

Just don't freakin' tell anyone. I'd like to buy one someday and I don;t want to spend 1000 bucks.

If they're good enough for Billy Zoom, they're good enough for you.

My first amp was a YGM-3. At some point, I will buy another.

I was under the impression that Billy Zoom, at least back in the days when X was any good, played an early-70s (1970? 71?) Fender Quad Reverb.



That's a big amp.

I'm sure it's not the only amp he played. And maybe he plays Traynor now, but then? Fender.
