Bass tube recommendations

[doc_backmask]

I play through an Ampeg SVT-3PRO. My guitarist just had to replace his tubes and that got me thinking about mine. What would the world of metal-heads recommend using as replacement tubes? I would need to replace four 12AX7 and one 12AU7 tubes.

Thx,
doc

You can't go wrong with Groove Tubes.

In bass amps you won't notice too much of a difference, especially since that amp uses tubes only in the pre-amp section. Pre-amp tubes can go a long time (2-3 years at the least) without wearing out. But it wouldn't hurt to try some different ones to see if it changes your sound to your liking....I like electro harmonix or JJ tubes myself.
