I've just come across this from their website. Any clue as to the price or when this will be available? I'll search their site again, but I didn't notice this information.

:hyper: The bass head sells for $879 retail. The YBA-200, also worthy of looking at for the tube freak, is selling at $829. :bawl: Poor Boogie and their "Big Block"! Yorkville stuff just kills for the money and has for decades been extremely reliable. The XS-400H actually weighs more than its big brother!

Now if we really want to start a fight, we can state truly that the SVT is a rip of the Traynor YBA-3A.......
