Arnold Sorry to see you leave the area...but I understand as I am also looking to get away from New York's oppressive taxes and also seeking a warmer climate. You were always an inspiration to me from the early days with the Free Flight band and later with your amazing luthier skills. The...

Ha....Mud Shark...love it..I was at that show...my first concert...that post brought back some fun memories...thanks

It's an AH250SMX. I have the same model I purchased it new in about 1991. Great amp that served me well and I still use it. It's rated at 250 watts but seems to have a lot more headroom.

I still have my Fender Bassman 135 available for sale as described in my original post...

Sorry Mudd It is a great amp I just have too many amps and not enough time to use them all...ha Besides my 57 year old back appreciates my lighter GK MB800... Next I have to get rid of my SWR Goliath II ...another tone monster my back hates....ha

Traynor YBA - 1A ....SOLD!

Thanks guys I got all your PM's. Sorry for the slow response time from me but with two kids, wife,dog, job, house I'm spread a little thin... it seems most people are interested in the Bassman 135. Since I haven't gotten any local interest I will just ship to whoever wants it but I think it's...

Thanks Idervish I did see that stickie afterwards...I have had a little interest in the amps but unfortunately nothing local yet...I can ship either amp but I think I'm going to limit it to the CONUS. To get an idea of the shipping costs I went to the FedEx site and input the approx. weight (45...

Thanks for the interest in the amps. I guess I was caught off guard a little in that I didn't do my homework on shipping either one of these things ( I was hoping for a local sale) and I have no idea of the costs involved. I guess the best thing is for me to do is to bring them to FedEx and get...

Just thought I throw up an initial feeler to see if there is any interest in my tube amps. I will update with any additional pictures and info. if anyone's interested... 1. Traynor YBA-1A (1974 vintage), rated as 90 watts and it gets loud (you know tube watts and all..hiding). It's in very...

My first bass was a 1968 Sunburst Fender Jazz Bass I bought from a local guy for $150. It was 1973 and I was 17 and just started playing (yeah I'm an old guy). I played it for a couple of years and thought I wanted a new Precision bass that cost a whopping $200. I sold the Jazz bass for $175...

Looks nice... I love the color..is that the original finish?..weight?

Again thanks for all the informative responses...I read up on ESR, cap testing, capacitor industrial espionage ...etc...now I know why all those video cards crapped out on me years ago...did musical instrument amps also have high failure rates during or after the "bad cap crisis"...I'm inclined(...

Thanks for the responses guys..I appreciate all the advice... an ESR meter sounds interesting...does it actually indicate the "health" of a capacitor... sounds like a good tool to have around with all the vintage amps I have...I contacted the Ebay vendor and he claimed/guaranteed his parts were...

oops... correction that was Nichicon caps not Rubicon...
