Members PancakeBunny Posted April 20, 2010 Members Share Posted April 20, 2010 I just sold this on TGP: That's my '68 YBA1a Bassmaster Mark II I bought for $350. It's seem better days cosmetically but boy does it ever sound good. So why did I just sell it on TGP for $350? Because I'm about to buy this for $500. Did I do gud? Same year. Except this is a YBA1 and not a YBA1a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChrisGansz Posted April 20, 2010 Members Share Posted April 20, 2010 great sounding amp cranked - I bought one several years ago for $150 - had original Mullard tubes in it - but it was HEAVY as a mother. HNAD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wyatt Posted April 21, 2010 Members Share Posted April 21, 2010 Wow, neither amp has its original knobs, what's up with that? While it's not totally strange them swapped on an old Traynor or other "former bargain" amp, most I see still have the originals, and yet you ended up with two that did not. What coincidence. Though you new one is an easy fix, that era used black chicken head knobs. Great amps. The YBA-1A was too much for me, super loud, super bright and super tight. I thought of it as the poor-man's Hiwatt, and I'm no Hiwatt fan. The YBA-1 would probably be more my speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members newmaxnew Posted April 21, 2010 Members Share Posted April 21, 2010 I love my YBA-1, but damn is that thing loud! I am going to buy an attenuator and see if I get it past just above zero on the volume knob. Those things are great vintage amps that haven't gotten too expensive yet.

Members ChrisGansz Posted April 21, 2010 Members Share Posted April 21, 2010 Did you have the YBA1 or YBA1a? I had the YB1, as shown in the second picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
