I have a Jet City 20 watt combo amp, I bought it used from my old Bassist's dad about six years ago. He replaced the tubes, but swapped them back to the stock ones when he sold the amp to me. It was my first, and so far, only tube amp. I'm wondering if it's time for me to retube it.
I used to gig somewhat frequently (once every couple weeks) and practice pretty frequently (at least once a week).
It's been my go to amp all this time and I've been playing it at bedroom levels for the last couple years now. I am however getting back into jamming and have to run it really loud to keep up with my current drummer.
According to Jet City I need: Three 12AX7s (preamp), two 12AX7s (reverb) and two EL84s (power amp). What do I need to know about retubing/biasing the amp? What do I need to know about tubes? Do I need to replace the tubes at all? I was also thinking about swapping the speaker for a Celestion V30
Thanks
