    Traynor YBA300

    I am pretty hyped about this new head. I have not heard it yet. I read through most of the postings and then did some investigative work. Let me know what you think. The comment on YBA200 transformers may be a bit off-base - there never was a YBA200 transformer problem in fact Traynor has...

    Traynor YBA300

    This new head looks wicked. The YBA200 in my opinion is under powered. I was considering an Ampeg vintage SVT, vintage Sunn 300T or Fenfer 300T. The stock YBA300 ships with twelve EL34 power tubes. I play reggae mostly so was considering if I went with this new head to change to the 6L6 tubes...

    AMPEG SVT BASS HEAD! WHAT IS TODAYS VERSION?

    Hey! Aprreciate your comment. I have a GK800RB and totally love it!! I will keep it and place it in my tomb when I die. This is a bit off track though. The GK800RB is solid state. I am trying to push a discussion to make an effort to determine who today is manufacturing a all tube bass head...

    AMPEG SVT BASS HEAD! WHAT IS TODAYS VERSION?

    I posted this in a rush this morning. I am aware that many of the heads I listed are old. Please accept my humble apologies. I am trying to make an effort to determine which manufacturers today are producing a all tube head that is a serious contender today. Any idea's? By the way, I added a...

    AMPEG SVT BASS HEAD! WHAT IS TODAYS VERSION?

    Yes I am aware they are the new version today. So in comparison to the original and considering other tube heads out there how does it stand up? Is there another product out there that we are all not taking seriously?

    The new Traynor cabs-My experience

    Dudes, The recent Traynor cabs (last few years) sound bloody awesome! Quite a few people here in Canada on the West Coast love them. They are rented for a reason. You can kick em and they keep going. Presently I have a Traynor 1x15, Ampeg 2x10 and a GK800RB. I am seriously thinking of buying...

    GK 800RB question regarding using an extra cab

    You can 1x15 through the 100w section. You can run it with the button engaged or disengaged. If you engage the button just be sure to set the crossover knob to the setting you want. In full range the crossover knob is not used.

    New "Traynor" Neo Cabinets

    Dude, The newer stuff is built like a brick house! Many of the music shops rent them because you cannot destroy them. Traynor just released the "NEO" cabs in Canada and they are getting rave reviews. I have seen them but have not yet heard one.

    What is the inherent problem with a 4x10?

    Well guys!! Thanks to all of you. I have been enlightened. The more I get into this bass thing the more I enjoy yacking with all you bass players. Thanks for all the feedback regarding the 4x10 supposed inherent flaws. I have learned quite a bit. I have met some great people. I have been given...

    What is the inherent problem with a 4x10?

    Hi Ken, How do you think the 2x12's stacked would sound for reggae. I think phenominal. What power would I need to power them adequatley?

    What is the inherent problem with a 4x10?

    I have to ask. What do you guys mean by "farty"? No punch? They frap out? In regards to the dispersion question scientifically it makes sense. Speaker placement is important. Is the inherent flaw of the standard 4x10 a real issue? Maybe I can ask another question. The 4x10 is a good size for...

    What is the inherent problem with a 4x10?

    What is the inherent problem with a 4x10?

    I tried the biamp portion and no matter what adjustment I make I still have it. I have had it in the speaker clinic for checks and all is ok. It seems to me that this particular note on a 2x10 is inherent.

    What is the inherent problem with a 4x10?

    I guess much is taken for granted. It is good to be patient. I just read about horizontal dispersion. Makes sense. Now what? I was just looking at the Genz Benz NEOX-212T 600W 2x12 Bass Cabinet. This is verticale mounted and designed that way. Are we saying here that manufacturers are making a...

    What is the inherent problem with a 4x10?

    Presently I am using a Traynor TC115,Ampeg 2x10He and GK800RB. I love the head. I am not totally happy with the cabs. When hitting a B note on the e string the 2x10 resonates and its annoying. I have been considering changing cabs. I was considering the 4x10 until now. I recently read that...

    GALLIEN KRUEGER 800RB

    Thanks I love the head. I also love rock. I like to infuse the rock and reggae together. Perfect example, "Sublime"!! When I read about bass everyone recommended "Ampeg". I picked up a 2x10 because it would be easy to move around. When playing a B note on the E string I get a crazy vibration...

    RECOMMENDED 4x10 FOR REGGAE??

    Guys, Thanks for all of the advice! Much to consider. I am going to keep my Traynor 1x15 extension cab. I am not happy with the Ampeg 2x10HLF sound. I am considering getting rid of it and replacing it with a Line 6 4x10. I am presently using the GK800RB head. I am thinking of getting rid of...
