Hi Myles, Some one on the talk bass forum told me to contact you. I have a Traynor YBA-2B. It has not been played for about 6 or 7 years. Now when it is played, the volume is very quiet and the bass notes distort very easily. When I stopped playing it 6 or 7 years ago it had much more volume. I origionaly stopped playing it because it started to sound like crap(distortion in the low notes and you always sound kind of flat). Could the tubes be the problem? Do you have another idea as to what it could be. it has 2 sets tubes: 2 12AX7a phillips (i think these are the pre amp set) and 2 6BQ5 sylvania (I think these are the power tubes). If it is the tubes, is it as simple as pulling the old ones out and putting the new ones in? It seems like everybody has a different opinion on what I should do, if I should replace the tubes, or with what I should replace them with. Thanks for your help. By the way, the amp fell over real hard one time, but this was before the problems started. Ryan Blizzard
