| Model BMC |
$2099.00 (USD) |
| Combo unit combines the Model BM circuit with two Celestion 10 Vintage speakers in an open back cabinet. The sound is amazing. Great vintage throaty honk with moderate to high sustain. Great for Blues, Hard Rock, Zeppelin, Stones, ACDC etc. Roll back your guitar volume and it cleans up as if it had a separate clean channel.
Note from Tom M who owns one of the first of these amps :My Rocknroll amp is the only amp I need for studio playing,gigging, and for my own personal use and enjoyment. It's light enough to carry to gigs and plenty loud enough. It has great gain and an excellent clean tone.My ROCK N ROLL AMP is the amp that I've been looking for for a long time. Jack stands proudly and confidently behind his product.....Thanks Jack,
Your friend and customer,

| TR Conversion #1 YBA-1 Hotrod |
$799.00 (USD) |
| So, your tired of your bass amp turned guitar amp fromYorkville barking and biting, making you deaf. There is a reason they call it a "Poor man's Plexi". Because it is not a Plexi. We will take your Bassmaster or other Traynor head and make it sound like a fine toneful amp similar to everyone's favorite amp from England but better. The price above is for the mod only on your amp. Does not include the amp. Here is a qoute from Paul L.who purchased a modded YBA-1 recently "The Traynor is great; it has response that I haven't heard before. It sounds very nice, like a good mix of Marshall and Soldano to my ears. Clean sounds are nice and distinct, and the gain is quite warm and thick, but I thought it was cool that I could make it gritty as well. I still haven't found a specific tone to settle on, but I think that's good because I keep finding good sounds. Anyway, well done! This amp is one of the best I've played. - Paul

| 18 watt with overdrive |
$1799.00 (USD) |
| Does your 18 watt just not cut it? Well mine does. 18 watt with gain, set into a custom bent aluminum chassis. Similar in sound to an early 2203,2204 but tweaked to perfection. Controls include master, gain, treble, middle, bass, presence, 3 position bright switch,on-off, standby,4/8/16 ohm outputs. Head version available. I highly recommend the head version over the open back combo. It is my experience that master volume moderate to high gain amps loose bottom end in open back configuration and need the support of a closed back cabinet. |

| Lifco Bassmaster |
$0.00 (USD) |
| This amp was made by a company that cloned the Traynor YBA-1 Bassmaster sometime in the late 60's I believe. I got it pretty cheap on ebay in terrible condition. What sold me is the huge transformers they used. This amp now is completely modified and hot rodded. It is similar to the YBA-1 mod that I've been doing. It's sweet and sings nicely and has wonderful crunch. It's a moderate overdrive amp. Sort of Cream kinda Clapton. The case is beat up but what comes out of it surely makes up for it's looks. This is a true player's amp. It's about 50 watts.

| Tweed/Plexi/Reverb Callahan model
|
$0.00 (USD) |
| This amp started life as Silverface Bandmaster Reverb head. I rebuilt it to do what it's name implies. While humbuckers sound fabulous, single coil guitars shine even brighter. I was commissioned by my buddy KevinC to build this amp. Kevin, being the crazy tweaker that can not leave anything alone actually happened upon a combination that is absolutely amazing. He bought an off white Bandmaster Reverb chassis sized combo cabinet with oxblood grill cloth and put a 15" weber alnico speaker in it with a Weber? Beamblocker. It is tone from heaven. Sound samples courtesy of Kevin. |

Biased. Retubed with mostly Groove tubes. 3 prong cord. Large rubber feet. New handle. Blackfaced to AB763 circuit with minor changes. Treble caps reduced slightly to get treblyness out. Push pull volume pot converted to Bright switch for that channel. Vibrato disconnected. Vibrato "Speed" knob is now "midrange" control for that channel. Reverb is on both channels. Vibrato "Intensity" is now Reverb "Dwell". Yes it is now a 2 knob Reverb amp which allows much more fine control of the already sweet reverb. Last but not least, the ground switch was converted to a half power switch.
Channel 1 has new JJ ECC82 for spankin clean sound. Channel 2 has new JJ ECC81 for a little more punch without to much breakup.
NO holes were drilled. All mods are reversable. All mods professionally done.
