Well, I put some JJs ECC83s in my TB500. The EQ is definitely more responsive. Overall tone? Not sure if it's changed as my hearing sucks. The original tubes gave only a cut effect for the EQ knobs, after 12:00, no change. Now I can boost the mids to 3:00 for a noticeable increase... Yes, call me crazy, I don't do the "smiley face EQ" with my bass.. I actually prefer some mids to cut though.
Anyways, the JJs were well worth the $28 I spend for the pair.

For solo play it has the instant, "Man this sounds good, right here, in this one spot, so I should buy it!" effect. Take that same set up to a practice and you find yourself getting buried. Those mids are what give you some sonic space, especially in a loud mix.
