Members Fiery Furnace Posted November 2, 2007 Members Share Posted November 2, 2007 For $475! Local music store was having a huge midnight madness sale, so we went and checked it out, wandered around, grabbed a stereo adapter for my Ric, then I saw it on my second pass of the store, just a single YBA200, marked down for $979 to $475! I knew it was an amazing deal so I tried it out. It didn't sound amazing at first, but I knew that it had potential, and I knew the cheap peavey cab and the $200 Jay Turser bass I was playing though wouldn't compare to my own rig. So I bought it, took it back to the jam space, plugged in the Ric, and cranked it up! It was LOUD! And it sounded sweet, a lot of versatility... could use a touch more grit on the preamp, but I have a Bassdrive pedal, so that pretty much takes care of that. I haven't got to jam with the full band yet, but so far I'm liking this thing I get the sense that the tubes could be replaced to be even sweeter, I have some vintage 12AX7's that I might toss in the preamp and see what happens. Any other tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thumper Posted November 2, 2007 Members Share Posted November 2, 2007 You'll love it in a band setting. Mine still has stock tubes.

Members Fiery Furnace Posted November 3, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 I can't wait for practice on Monday, I'm just sitting here thinking about my new baby all cooped up at the jam space. We're supposed to get a big storm here tommorow too, no power == no jams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members der oxenrig Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 I'm considering getting one... but that would mean either saving up for a while, or unloading the Sunn 200s, which I'd rather not do (since it's been relegated to PA duty).
