Peter V Rawlings ťmy Profile ťmy Messages ťmy Reviews	Post Reply Recommend Report Not looking to win any Marshall or Fender popularity awards - but - why use a valve amp for bass? It's not as if chord harmonics are an issue (much!). If you want 'punch' get a seriously watty top and keep your options open for use of 4x10, 2x12 or 1x15 etc. , as required. Valve amps have always been more expensive to maintain and the argument about 'solid state vs valves ('tubes')' will go on forever. If you really feel that valves are a 'must have' sound (for a bass!) then choose an amp with a valve and a solid-state power stage. This was the original basis of the Peavey range - back in the late 70's !!!!
James ťmy Profile ťmy Messages ťmy Reviews	Post Reply Recommend Report i have a 69 bassman. i play bass guitar and i presently have Svetlana tubes in it. this is only because i was told these were the best. i'm not very knowledgeable in this area. i just wonder, is there anybody out there who has a bassman (or a similar amp), and can recommend another kind of tube? i want the punchiest sound and least distortion. i do like the slightly muddy "old" sound, but if i push it past 5, it gets to be a little much sometimes. thanks
Chops ťmy Profile ťmy Messages ťmy Reviews	Post Reply Recommend Report Yo James, The most important thing about buying tubes is the hardness. Your bassman gets distorted because your tubes are fairly soft. Try getting a harder tube. They are rated from 1-10. Go with about a 7 or 8, and you will still have a lil of that grit at higher volumes but it will push a lot more power before doing so. Btw i prefer Groove Tubes. CHoPs
