At the gig I did last night, the guitar player had one of the new Traynor amps with the extension cabinet.  Very nice!

That's a name I haven't heard since my high school years. At the time, in my opinion, they had one of the better sounding tube bass heads.

I was surprised.  At every other gig I've done with him he's brought a Fender or a Marshall, usually both.  His combo and extension had the wine red leatherette finish, which looked nice.

proudly canadian too. they recently put out a new tube bass amp head with matching cab. looks very appealing.

Traynor / Yorkville is one of the best kept secrets today. I have a small Yorkville combo and it is amazing. well constructed, great sound, reasonably priced and made in Canada. I have read great reviews of the new Traynor tube heads too. Definitely try a Yorkville if you get a chance.

Traynor is a name from the past,but I have seen more and more advertising for them.
Back in the early 70's I played in a group where the 2 guitarists and keyboard player used Traynors..and they sounded real good,but they all switched over to Marshalls. I recall trying one of their amps and got a real nice Squire kind of sound.

The new wine red Traynor (celestian speaker) is a thing of beauty - nearly bought one recently but opted for a Reverend Hellhound.  Nice to see some other good options for tube amps out there.

Just looked at the Yorkville site and they seem to have a pretty good waranty. Two years they fix it even if you broke it. Car accidents, acts of nature exempt.

My bass player has been playing through his Traynor since he bought it new in 1976!  It still works fine, though its sound improved quite a bit when he added an SF-2 a few months ago.
 
Bill, tgo

One reason Traynors are getting more attention is because amp guru Dan Torres loves them, and has written some mods for them in his book.  They deserve the attention:  they sound great, are built like tanks, and are easy to work on.  And they're genarelly fairly cheap, though this is changing rapidly.
