I have to retube my HD130, and I play bass (Fender Jazz Bass and Danelectro Baritone, Ampeg 4x10 cab). My options would be JJ E34L and EH 6CA7 (fat ones), and my priority is to get clean headroom. which of the 2 would be best? thanks in advance Gio   anonymous Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2005 - 09:59 am:    I also play bass and I put EH 6CA7's in my HD130 and they work great. Plenty of headroom.

I'd really need an advice about that. Gio   michael kaus Posted on Friday, February 04, 2005 - 06:29 am:    Well, I'm a big JJ fan since I actually get them to last and I do USE my amp. It's worked every week and gets the dog pucky run out of it so it has to hold up. I carry NO spare tubes to the job(which may be stupid) and it hasn't failed me. I trust them and they sound good. 'Nuff said.Mike.
