Mojo is good stuff. You can also get kits from Triode Electronics. If you want Fender style, check out Allen Amplification. Weber has kits as well, but won't be quite as nice as the aforementioned. You can also try Ceriatone though he is overseas so you have to pay some shipping. Metroamp has some of the best stuff, but they are struggling and have scaled back.

YouTube - King Crimson - Easy Money Live (The Great Deceiver, Vol.1)

Listen to just about any live King Crimson from the Wetton era.

If you have to ask, someone should make the obligatory public service announcement:

There's stuff you need to know to safely work with tube amps and it's not really internet learning stuff. Accidentally probe something in the wrong place with a screwdriver at the wrong time with your other hand somewhere it shouldn't be and it's game over.

Ceriatone does guitar tube amps, and the few bass amps that got adopted as guitar amps.

CeriaTone.Com - DIY Guitar Tube Amp
