Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I was about to post a philosophical gem that just occurred to me when I got a text saying UPS just delivered my amp and by the time I went down to the road, picked it up, put in the house and returned to my sunset watching spot….well, you know.

Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 This whole Russian deal is going to dry up the world's supply of tubes. Solid state and modeling amps are quickly going to become the only amps available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bass amp uses AT7's for the preamp. The 3 tubes it came with will likely last a couple of decades. But I have a few spares just in case.

Western Electric gearing up for domestic production of guitar amp tubes to fulfil demand They are already making other tubes and are looking to expand their line.

Blackwater 53393 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 If you’re in need of tubes for your older amplifiers, check out Musician’s Friend! Been around for years and they’ve always come through for me and my guys. Their old catalogs were a riot to read through. Really entertaining!!

Sedalia Dave Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I have quite a collection of NOS old tubes. If you can't find one let me know I may have it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
