I cant remember if I got a number or not. Been on this thread for some time, so if i dont have a number yet please add me!

This is my Traynor love! I am still collecting Traynor amps and will most likely never stop searching for the next great find! These are truly great amps that dont get the recognition they truly deserve.

i just picked one of these bases up. I really like the feel and sound of it, but just wondering on what anyone who owns or owned one thinks, as I am a guitar player looking to expand on my playing abilities. Is this a good choice for bass to get started?

I thought it would be different. Thanks for looking!

Thanks! Check out my latest uploads. 1977 Traynor 2x15 restoration/customization.

I decided to replace the old kick plate on the back with diamond plate. I also added the original name plate to the back of the cab. The only thing left to do is add new Tolex or the Duratex cab paint tinted orange to match the head.

After the handles were in place and the damage to the outer shell was repaired, it was time to tackle the face plate. The speakers had been previously removed prior to doing any of the repairs. They are a really nice pair of Celestion g15-150. The wiring was looking pretty shady, so I replaced...

The shear weight of this cab was reason enough for me to decide to add extra handles from what was originally offered. How people were able to tranport and move these things around with the handles that were on this is a wonder. There was nothing to grab on to the sides with. It was defineltly a...

After letting the liquid nail cure, the next step was to get all the damaged areas as well as dents and holes filled. The worst areas I used a combination of wood glue and sawdust. I packed it in and let it set. Once it was cured, I began the long process of sanding. After the sanding, any minor...

After starting to add body filler to areas that were damaged, I quickly started to realize that there was going to be more work to repair the damage than just filler. I started adding 1/4" top layer of wood to tie into the damaged wood, using liquid nail and screws to permanently secure it to...

As I already knew, stripping the tolex revealed some nasty moisture damaged/rotted wood.

Here is my latest purchase. A 1977 Traynor YT-1500 2x15 cab. As you can see from the pics, it has been well used over the last almost 40 years with a lot of dings and torn tolex with moisture damage on the bottom side. I will be completely stripping it down, fixing the damage and restoring it...

I am like so many stories you hear of. I was a Canadian teenage kid starting out playing music with the old and affordable "at the time" (25 years ago) Traynor products from the 60's and 70's. Watching Much Music and dreaming of some day owning one of those Marshall or Mesa amps that I saw being...
