| FT Feeler: Vintage All Tube 115 Combo, Traynor YBA-4

This was actually my very first amp. I am the one and only owner of this early/mid 70"s Traynor YBA-4. In all honesty, my parents bought this for me before I really knew much about bass at all: Other than that I wanted to give it a try. I played it in church a few times a month until I grew up and went on my way. Since then, about 30 years now, it has been sitting in my folks house untouched. It is shocking to realize that over the years, I have bought, sold and traded a multitude of amps and I had a decent one all along. I will blame my youth at the time( read foolishness) on my ignorance as to what I actually had. Until I rescued it a few days ago, I didn't even realize that it was an all tube amp.
Anyway, although I really appreciate the tube sound, my almost 50 year old knees and back have learned to go compact and as light as possible. Although this 75-80 pound combo is not massive, it is not the way I roll these days. I am throwing it out there as a feeler to see just what interest there may be and what trade offers materialize. I am hoping that someone knows what these amps are all about. I played it 30 years ago, but I can't offer much info about it. It still has the original tubes (I think that might be important) sounds great, other than a few scratchy pots, and is actually quite louder than I remember. Being a kid at the time, it has its share of small dings and scrapes, nothing major, that make it look more used than I know it is. But, to my knowledge, there are no issues with this amp at all. It is a vintage amp that just might be someone's cup of tea... Any Interest ??
