Yeah, I keep that button on all the time. Sounds a lot better with it on (like night and day). Is that Bass Sansamp any good for live? I will be playing shows with this. Also any tips on getting a "metal' sound from anyone? My guitar has an active pre-amp, but maybe if I change the pickups to some active EMG's it would give me the sound I want. I like the sound so far, but I am not too sure what to do with that graphic equalizer on the amp. I just kinda change stuff to see what happens haha.

Yeh, arguably an industry standard. The MXR 180 is very similar. Both have a DI and warm up SS amps nicely!

I'd also suggest EMGs for rock/metal. I'd go for a 40DC at the neck and a 40CS at the bridge. And and either an EMG BT (two band) or BQ (3 band) tone circuit while you're at it... :D

Count me in! I use a Traynor TC808 (and sometimes a TC810) with a Genz Benz GBE1200 and I totally love it. Here's a pic of the TC810/Genz Benz rig:

I have the opportunity to purchase a Yorkville BM400 combo amp locally for $399. From the picture it looks like it's in excellent shape and the store is a quality place - they wouldn't sell it if it didn't work. I wanted to get some opinions on it before I drove the 45 minutes to check it out, though. I don't want to waste my time.

I own a G&L L2500 Tribute bass strung with Sadowsky flats and I'm looking for a clear and warm sound. I've got an Acoustic B200 right now and the sound is right - I'm just not sure about the long term reliability of it.

Can I get that kind of sound out of the BM400? I don't want to have to go through an amp modeling pedal and then into the BM400 to get the tone I'm looking for.

Thanks!

I haven't played through a BM400, but I'd say that for a buck per watt, it'd be worth a try. Only you know what tone you're after.

Some price per watt context in new Traynor (Yorkville Sound) bass amps:

DynaBass 100 watt Bass Amplifier

DynaBass 200 Combo Bass Amplifier

DynaBass 200T Combo Bass Amplifier

DynaBass 400H Bass Amplifier

DynaBass 800H Bass Amplifier

From all I've read it looks like Yorkville amps have a very clean, uncolored tone - is that right?

Because of this would they make good platforms for amplifying a Sansamp or Hartke Bass Attack pedal?

The solid state Yorkvilles have a fairly clean and uncoloured sound. Of course, the ones with a tube preamp add some colour. I've used one of the old Sansamp pedals into a couple Yorkvilles and it brightened up the tone and added a bit of punch in the bottom. As well, it added a bit of sort of tube like distortion. All in all it made the amp a little less bland but also makes it stick out more in the mix-not something I usually want. On most of the Yorkvilles the eq is not flat when set in the 12 o'clock position, but that's common with most amps.

I suppose you could say they're a good platform for amplifying an effects pedal. Lots of amps are.
