regarding bass amp tubes

[wind90]

hey guys ,

I just got a new amp so was wondering when do i ever have to change a new tube in it .

what amp do you have? the short of it is if it sounds fine, you probably don't need to change the tubes.

what amp have u got?

full tube or hybrid?

pre-amp tubes normally won't die out anytime soon (for many, many years), so if you're changing them, it's most likely the reason that you want to change the sound characteristic of the pre-amp, by changing the pre-amp tube to a different make.

power amp tubes dies out much faster - a few years probably....

hybrid -- you don't really have to worry about changing tubes until it stops sounding normal
