hey psycho bass. the Traynor is great just the way it is. but i have a Plush Royal Bass head, that needs an overhaul. it works but makes a lot of noise. it has 4 Sovtek 6L6's that were put in, in 2000. its maybe 100 Watts.
It's a low-brow copy of the Fender Dual Showman.
i'm not sure how old the pre amp tubes are?
They are most likely fine and will probably outlive you. Most audiophiles would cringe to know that you have Telefunkens in a... gasp... bass amp.
what can you recomend that would give me more balls.i want to get it as loud and dirty as i can.i also have an empty Sunn 2X15 cab,any idea what speakers i should get? i think i'll get a 2nd 2X15 later on. i need to convert it to a 3 prong as well since it keeps picking up Mexican radio stations.
The noise and the radio stations are related, and a three prong power cord will help neither, even though it is a good idea. The amp probably needs a serious going-through and lots of caps and a few resistors, not a set of tubes. If that amp were healthy, if would be a tone monster, and would have a fat sound that would crunch up nicely with overdrive, but don't expect loads of volume out of it; it's just not there.
For the cab, if you like balls, the usuals are the JBL D130, Altec 421 and any of the CTS 15's Ampeg used in the 70's. Modern 15's aren't going to be voiced for overdrive, though you may find some that work. Eminence probably makes a dozen or so models of 15's that will do what you want, but you'll have to know which one. These guys:
