A massive sounding 6-10" speaker cab built in august 0f '72. Sits beneath a 73 Sunn Concert bass head, with my old hofner solid body ,short scale bass plugged into it.. I play hardcore blues/punk(www.authoritiesdevilmusic.org), and this cabinet is killer! It doesn't have a power handling rating on it but it takes my buddies SVT without flinching. For some reason they designed it to run with 5.4ohms. wierd.

I'll repeat, Great cabinet. well defined bass sounds with that great overdriven solid state sound that only the seventies heads really deliver(up to 6% on some of those old sunns!). powerful thick delivery, moving more air than a jet engine. I know they make an 8-10" version of this, but unless you have some kind of small dick syndrome, save your back and get the 6-10", you REALLY don't need any more.

very reliable, been using it for awhile and have had no problems.
Customer Support
:
No Opinion
I know Yorkville Sounds, the company that sold Traynor amps, is around in some capacity. But Pete Traynor is no longer affiliated so I doubt you could get any support for this old stuff. If you want a warranty byt a stupid Hartke cab and shut your pie hole
Overall Rating

I've been playing for about twenty years, I have a Sunn concert bass head, an acoustic 220 bass head, assorted little tube amps for strumming chords around the apartment on guitar. several solid body short scale basses(i play 30 inchers exclusivley). I also own a really cool fender "solid state" cabinet with four 12" jensens. This cabinet is wonderful, but if it dies or is stolen, the chance of me finding another is fairly slim. And really, when it comes to vintage gear, why own the exact same damn thing twice! These things are sexy though with the very blueish silver grille cloth(way bluer than the fender cloth) and chromey lookin' trim.
