    Need a new amp!

    Not really, I didn't overdo my gain on the Yorkville. Most of the time I used my effects. But if I'm buying a new amp a more 'natural' overdrive/distortion would be very welcome.

    Need a new amp!

    Last weekend I was playing a gig when suddenly my Yorkville 400b amp decided to quit his job and start smoking. When I opened the amp it was quite clear he'd never be the same again so it looks I really need to buy myself a new amp. I'm a student and I'm really short on cash 'cause I don't...

    Hi, I need some help regarding some bass amps I'm interested in. I play bass for about 7 years now and I'm still playing my same old Yorkville 400b head through a Hartke XL 410 cab and I'm tired of them. My Hartke's aluminum cones are pretty much killed and I just can't get the right tone...
