I have looked thru TB for a dealer for Traynor in the USA. I did see a couple but the post was a couple years old and the location was a small store? Can anyone provide a location that they have recently used for a Traynor amp? Nothing on Reverb please.

I bought my SB200H from longtime TB'er @bebass in 2022, his store was called Sho Me Music at that time. I think the name may have changed though. No drama, good guy.

Gollihur Music in NJ also sells Traynor amps. Another good TBer that I've bought from a few times.

SB112 Lightweight Combo Bass Amplifier (1x12, 200w)

This bigger brother to the SB110 is great if you're on a budget but need an amp with more "guts" for louder stages! Eminence driver, real plywood (no MDF!), very good sound for URB and "slab" bass. And made in Canada!

Gollihur Music is one of THE best out there.

I'm not sure if this is possible but have you thought about trying to order from Long & McQuade in Canada? Traynor is the house brand of L&M. I would think the prices would be similar if not cheaper than the price in the States to start with, and throw in the favourable exchange rate and I'm sure you would come out ahead despite whatever extra fees / penalties / duty the government would tack on. For Canadians stores like Sweetwater and ZZ Sounds ship to Canada but for some reason Guitar Centre does not. If L&M does not work try RedOneMusic,Ttey sell Traynor as well and I believe they do world wide shipping.

I second this. He should try Long & McQuade and buy from the source.

No,
Long & McQuade does not currently ship outside of Canada. They are a Canadian retailer focusing on nationwide service, with no official policy for international shipping to the USA. Customers looking to get items from them in the US may need to use a third-party cross-border shipping service.

LowMax Is what it is called now. LoMax Bass & Sound – The World's Finest Bass & Sound Gear Not much with his website anymore, seems to be doing Reverb sales as listings.
There is a Traynor Bass combo listed there so he is still a dealer. https://reverb.com/shop/sho-me-music-bass-specialty-store

Since OP said no Reverb and there is no phone number or email on his website, try on TB private message @bebass or I do have his phone number that may work. Have not called since 2019.
Not sure if the phone number works anymore and since it is not listed on the official website I will not list it here. But I will give it to anyone wanting to give it a try.

I purchased a YBA100 from Modern Music in Lisle Il. 2018. Not sure if they sell Traynor still. Thinking about getting a SB500H. I would buy from them again.

As basss pointed out L&M does not ship to the States, but RedOne Music does. They are based out of Montreal. I have never used their shipping so I don't know how good it is but I have been to the physical store a few times and I have always been treated very well. I snagged this from RedOne site.

We have indeed been a Traynor dealer for several decades.
Our website payment processor used a loophole to negate our agreement in order to charge prices a small shop like us could not possibly pay. In the meantime we have a small site up, which does have our email address, although it is disguised to prevent bots sending us 70,000 emails daily (slight exaggeration). We will develop the site further, but for now…

We can indeed ship all Traynor/Yorkville Sound products within USA. Any questions can be sent via PM or our email address or I can provide tel number (which has been the same) via PM. Always glad to talk bass/amp/sound/applications. And, yes, we can provide a non-Reverb transaction.
