While shopping I stopped by the magazine rack and had a look at the latest copy of Guitar World and there you were on page 110. It talked about our original rig. Was interesting to note your amp was a Traynor YBA-1 Bass Mate head.
When I met John, he had the worst bass amp I'd ever heard, but I used his Traynor head to record because it distorted so much more than any amp I owned.
No it isn't a YBA-1, it is a YGL-1.
Part of the article is a section of how to emulate Billy's original rig cheaply with today's equipment. The Jet also pictured is a G5230T Electromatic and they recommend replacing the bridge pickup with a T Armond.

Nothing wrong w kool early Traynor stuff --I'm a fan, had a few good ones
I am as well. Have owned 4 late 60's or early 70's Traynors. I still have a YGM-3 Guitar Mate Reverb.
traynors were good for guys on a budget..fact that bz had smarts to make it sound better, is only to his credit!...
cheers
An I going to have to read this to see how correct it is? How many words is it??

Billy, I read the article but didn't buy the magazine. The article covered the whole page.

That amp doesn’t look like a YBA-1?
