We’re exploring our new toy, perfect for bands on the run. Never knowing the exact acoustic situation where we’ll be playing, it’s sure nice to have this wedge in the back of the truck. We’re using it for Andrea’s stick bass at the moment (Yamaha SLB 200) in addition to her Galleon Krueger cabinet. The take-anywhere, play-anything Traynor TVM10 Travelmate successfully mixes versatility with portability. Perfect for small gigs, rehearsals or street corner concerts, it allows quick connection to a microphone, instrument and CD / MP3 player. It’s a complete and ultra-compact sound solution, so we can even practise in silence (the Headphone jack disconnects the woofer and tweeter when you plug in). The best feature though is the rechargeable battery.
It’s the ultimate irony: pairing the largest orchestral string instrument with a wee amp. Love it!
