Members six acre lake Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 So I bought a Traynor YBA-1A Bass Master Mark ll today. As many of you know I have been asking / looking around for a second amp to complement my Hiwatt for the SAL live-ness. I have been using my friend Ryan's YBA-1A a lot lately and our other friend keeps his YBA1 at his place as well. I love love love how the 1A sounds with my EGC and I figured why not get my own... Anyway I gotta get a cabinet for it do I was thinking a vertically oriented 2x12 or a single 15" from either Emperor or Avatar... Now to decide on speakers... What would you fill a 2x12 with if you had this particular amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 I love V30s I also really like EV 12Ls if you want a really "clean" sound. or how about this beast, and it's 8 ohms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members six acre lake Posted March 12, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 That's (EV15l) what my buddy Ryan uses with his YBa-1A in a Mesa cabinet. Sounds {censored}ing rad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 yeah they are great speakers, I have the 12L versions and they are loud, clear and yet still not too harsh on the ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hiwatt Bob Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 I've got an EVM12L in my Hiwatt 100watt 1x12. Mainly because it's one of the few speakers that can handle that wattage, but it also sounds great, lots of good low end and the highs sound nice.

Members plowkraut Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 I run my YBA-1 through a 70s Kustom vertical 2x12. I've used Weber Michigans (no affiliation) for years: https://taweber.powweb.com/weber/ . Ceramic magnet, paper dome, Michigan 12" (see their "high power" series). 100 watts per speaker, loud as hell, $110 a pop. I think they are based on an older EV design. Good with pedals. Weber makes a great speaker and I've had great service from them. Do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I love V30s I also really like EV 12Ls if you want a really "clean" sound. or how about this beast, and it's 8 ohms I have to go with Robo's suggestion on this one. I have a Fender 12F (Fender branded EVM 12L) in my Princeton II, and it's a fantastic clean speaker. Efficient as all get-out too, so if you're looking to maximize the clean output level potential (and running it next to a Hiwatt, I'd want to - YMMV), it's an excellent choice. The only downside is the weight. Suck it up buttercup - if this old man can deal with it, a strapping young buck such as yourself should have no problems with it. Put casters on the cabinet anyway, or use a dolly. No sense in making it any harder than it has to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently pairing a vintage Kasino (budget Kustom offshoot) with great results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aaron SS Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 The Eminence Swamp Thang is another crazy efficient/loud/clear guitar speaker. I used to run a pair of them with my modeling setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members six acre lake Posted March 12, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 My buddy Casey runs his through a Marshall 4x12 which sounds "ok". Between the three of us (Ryan, Casey, me) we got mad Traynor... One a piece and we all have EGCs as well. We are like a gang or silly girl clique.

Members RoboPimp Posted March 13, 2012 Members Share Posted March 13, 2012 I've tried both the webers and the eminence speakers They claim to be as efficient as the EVs on the specs but when I put them side by side it was like the EV was the only speaker that was on.

Members RoboPimp Posted March 13, 2012 Members Share Posted March 13, 2012 My buddy Casey runs his through a Marshall 4x12 which sounds "ok". really you can run at a mismatch but I wouldn't judge the tone of any cab if it's not the proper impedance for the amp output. It really changes the way the amp sounds to my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members six acre lake Posted March 13, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 13, 2012 Robo knows tone. He is the only guy I ever met who makes a Mesa sound awesome. Phil knows tone My buddy Ryan knows tone I will look heavily into the EV12s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members echodeluxe Posted March 13, 2012 Members Share Posted March 13, 2012 8" speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members six acre lake Posted March 13, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 13, 2012 8" speaker. If I was going for the Puerto Rican driving a beat up Civic playing blown out reggae ton sound then I would absolutely go 8" speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard nothing but great things about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WeStartToDrift Posted March 13, 2012 Members Share Posted March 13, 2012 I bought an 80's DS-1 from a guy in Delta Junction, AK, and I tested it through his YBA-1 and mesa 2x15 and it sounded {censored}ing awesome. I almost bought the Traynor, but didn't have enough cash to make the 5 hour drive back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
