Well my newly-modded old Marshall, my Musikraft and my refinished Charvel Mutt. I didn't bring them over your house last time. I think the Musikraft in particular will give you wood... LOL! :D

Oh yeah because if it doesn't fit into your incredibly narrow definition of 'good' then I'll consider it a PHAIL and sell the guitar... :loco:
 
I don't get the GT bashing I hear now and then. I never had a problem with their tubes. Couldn't say the same about Sovtek or Tung-Sol. :dunno: I've got a pair of JJ E34L in my 2204, and they sound decent. Ruby EL34BSTR are killer tubes. I've yet to try SED EL34. I've heard nothing but great things about those.

dougstubes does burn ins on preamp tubes for reliability, so i purchase power tubes from thetubestore and all of my preamp tubes from dougstubes.


so weird I do exactly that for the same reason, I also occasionally buy from tubedepot.

It's the typical thing man... Big company = The Man... Small Shop = Boutique.
Big company buys small company = suck
Small company grows into big successful company = not as good as it was when it was small...

We've all heard it before... LOL! :D

JJE34L's are ok... nothing special
Ruby's are good tubes.
SED's are terrific. I've used them for yours. They're just so damn expensive now. But they do last a long time.

I always had pleasant dealings with Aspen and Rick at Groove Tubes. I have two GT EL-34s (and two 2 6L6s) in my Mesa Mark III currently and they sound great. :rock:
Never dealt with him directly, but I have them in 2 amps now and they sound very good.

6L6 in the Budda SD 80 II
EL34's in the Marshall.

I built an almost identical Musikraft guitar by the way! Only difference is I have a pickup ring on the humbucker. Guitar freaking RULES!

Cool, thanks...I have a feeling this one's gonna too! :thumbsup:

I personally do not like current,,,last 10 yrs. Gt tubes other than their 12ax7c..Why because once you can id different tubes you see that they are sovtek tubes or shuguang tubes with a higher mark up,,,No big deal if you dont care..I do,,so I just dont buy them...On the other hand I do have a quad of the GT el34M tubes that they make in the USA and I love themm at the pres time in my Legacy,,They are nice dual getter etc...
Old Groove tubes are great,,,I got a set of the 6l6ge that are bout 11 yrs old and cant wait ta use them!!!And 4 12ax7c GT that are the 8th gen chinese with the foil getter :yes: and 2 12at7 with the foil 8th gen.. :yes:


I lucked into a set of ancient RCA 6L6s, they sound amazing in my amp (left the GT EL34s in), but I'm afraid to gig with them or anything...any of the other dealers mentioned carry "NOS" tubes? :confused:

I have the FloydUpgrades brass block in it. Its great! You'll probably dig it.

Both Doug and TheTubestore carry NOS tubes.

Yes... Now you're catching on... What I like is widely accepted as "good"... Just deal with it! LOL! :D

There's ACTUAL snot on that neck. I have a runny nose. It actually seals the wood.

ah..I see...so you're a lemming, just following what everyone else deems as good? hehehhe

that would probably explain why you're always complaining about nose dysfunction
