Okay. Sounds good, I have just been having a hard time finding any Traynor for sale in Southern Ontario for under 599.

Their is a super early model YBA-1 for sale at Paul's Boutique for like 495, but that is lower wattage and no reverb.
If I am looking for a good clean sounding Traynor, is there anything you can suggest? I know clean isn't their thing... but I am not gonna buy any amp that is good at doing cleans, they are all too expensive (vox,Fender)

you're mostly looking at the ygm line for +/- 100 watt vintage traynors.
If you get really lucky, you might come across a yba1a (120 watt yba variant) or the illusive yba custom (300 watt).

i like traynor the few i've heard or tested, aids wolf guitarist uses them too, they're ok priced at thomann you get a lot for what you pay for, i think they're great tools if you want harsh sounding loud cleans ..they stay clean at high volume and just ballsy. haven't tried all the models though, the dark horse i didn't know about it until now, seems cool but figure it'd be too loud for solo practice since are their amps are so loud, but cranked with a band i'd love to hear how it sounds. if i still played bass in a band i would opt for traynor they remind me of the bite gk's and swr's have but more versatile if you're after a more mid driven jd bass type sound too.
