    Where do you buy your tubes? I've had my Laney for a few years. It doesn't get used too much but I think it'll need to get a retube. Any good online shops that deal in quality tubes?

    But if you're feeling less discriminating, you can pick up a cheaper set of JJs quite easily from any number of guitar parts sites.

    I've heard really good things about eurotubes from other forums I go on. They also supply a few kits for my amp, which is really handy. However, I was thinking that maybe they could get damaged by the long delivery, and that there might be someone similar in europe?

    I've ordered from Eurotubes without them getting damaged. They pack them well and their quick. I ordered a full retube for a mesa and that consisted of 9 new tubes.

    Sounds good. I checked there and for a full retube and delivery from eurotubes it would cost about €70. Thats for 6 tubes. I'll probably get this.
    Also there is a whole lot of info on that site. Everything about tubes and how to go about doing it yourself. Very handy.

    Just got mine from Eurotubes yesterday, only ordered them last week! Well packaged and what a difference to my Hot Rod Deluxe:D 5 tubes well packaged no problems whatsoever. I went for the 6v6 option on the power tubes and a balanced ECC83S in V3 I think. A little biasing and :eek: I'm sold

    I found these guys on ebay and fhave had good experience so far.
    Good prices, fast delivery (mostly JJ and EH though) and friendly comms.
    Watford Valves are also good and have a better selection but are bit more pricey.
    Also check out Ural Tone in Norway, I've bought a bunch of gear from them and found the prices good as well as the gear itself. The Tung Sol re-issue 12AX7s are sweet!!:pac: They also sell transformers, knobs *sniggers like a girl*, valve sockets etc.etc., basically anything you might need for the up-keep of your amp.
