Tubes

I've had my Fender Deville for almost a year now, and my tubes are noticably feeling some pain this time a year. It is time to switch em' out which I am actually excited about to see the tone differences. Anyways... I'm just curious to see if anyone has any preferences on tubes, or advice on choosing the right ones (I like a huge fat tone myself... very smooth) And also... is this something I can do myself, or would it be wise to take it to a shop the first time? Thanks.

Best advice you can get, ask Bob at eurotubes.com
He set me up with a custom set for my Triaxis/2:90 rig. Tell him the tones you like and the gear you use and he will make the suggestions.

I second that advice....I hope you have done this as I have after reading this as well. Great advice and Bob is a great guy to deal with. No bull. I did this my self for my Fender Super Reverb, Twin, Bassman 10, and Bassman 135. I also got a hold of Ted Weber and put in his speakers he recomened....all I can say is ..WOW...

So do I email this guy or what. I went to the site and like the looks, just was a little to preoccupied and lazy to scope things out for contacts. :rolleyes:

Just email him through what gear you use and the tone you are looking for and he will email you back some suggestions - if you order make sure he gives good instructions on how to install which tube where (he may use a mix of tubes across preamp and poweramp).
