VacuumVoodoo said:Well, both tubes were originally designed for two specific applications in TV sets: vertical deflection amplifier and audio output amp. Since they were designed for same target application they have similar characteristics.
However, the question was: "Are they interchangeable without modifications to the amp?" and the answer is "no" because you would at least have to replace tube sockets".
GET THE AMP!!!!! Don't screw around and miss it!!tedzepplin said:I'm thinking of getting a 1970s Fender Musicmaster Bass amp (small 12 watt amp) and I'm finding some are listed as using 6AQ5-A power tubes and some use 6v6 tubes. Are they interchangeable without modifications to the amp?
A lot of people use this amp for guitar. I'm planning on using it for recording bass. will the Weber Signature 12 alnico be a good bass guitar speaker? or do you have other suggestions?hasserl said:GET THE AMP!!!!! Don't screw around and miss it!!
These are great little amps. Swap out the POS stock speaker for a Weber Signature 12 alnico, and you'll have an outstanding little amp. It's unbelievable how good these little amps sound.
I used to use mine for bass work for recording too. I stuck a Carvin PS12 speaker in it and it did a decent job. Then Weber had a sale on their Signature 12's so I picked one up and stuck it in the MM Bass and plugged in my guitar and I'll never think about using it for bass again. If I need a bass rig bad enough I would pick up anything else, but I wouldn't let go of this combo. It is that good.tedzepplin said:A lot of people use this amp for guitar.

Love the XFMR Phase Inverter in this amp- Very McIntosh like...
Would suggest EL84/6BQ5 replacement WITH REWIRING/REBIAS rather than re-punch for octal 6V6 socket. (It's gonna be problematic/expensive to repunch the holes..)
