Traynor DynaBass 400 - Bass Combo
A choice of Passive (-0dB) or Active (-6dB) inputs takes your bass to the DB400's dual input stages. Here, a combination of tube and solid-state preamp circuitry provides the crisp definition of FET-driven solid-state performance with its pristine clarity, perfect for funk & pop styles, while a simple touch of a button switches you to a warm, responsive tube circuit, - ideal for R&B, rock, blues and country. It's virtually like having two different amplifiers in one box.
A five-band EQ with semi-parametric mid and Scoop Control ensures you can always find any tone quickly and easily. The Scoop Control sweeps from a flat frequency response through a mid-frequency dip at 400Hz, boosting both the top and bottom end as the control moves beyond the halfway point. This simple and effective tone-shaping tool makes it easy to hit that perfect sweet spot in your sound onstage or in the studio.
A Footswitchable Distortion with tunable drive can be precisely added in parallel to the core clean bass tone with the Wet/Dry Distortion Mix control. Used in conjunction with this feature or as a clean-signal additive, the Compression can be tuned in to sustain notes while a button-selectable Limiter circuit ensures that the 400-Watt output stage is never over-driven.
A front panel Mute button lets you interrupt the signal to both the speaker and Line output for silent tuning via the 1/4-inch Tuner Out jack. A footswitchable Effects Return with its own Effects level control and a Pre/Post-EQ selectable XLR balanced Line output with Ground Lift to defeat loop hum ensure optimum flexibility.
The speaker system includes an 800-Watt 15-inch bass driver and high-efficiency piezo tweeter with an Active/Defeat switch. Built in Canada and designed for maximum roadability, the DynaBass 400's construction includes rugged 11-ply birch cabinetry, an all-metal chassis and a heavy gauge perforated metal grille to protect the speaker components.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
