    Finally did it. Swapped the 12AX7 in my Little Mark Vintage 500.

    Nothing I would call noticeable. Very subtle difference. EQ fixes all

    My mindset was that if the pliers broke the tube big deal. It was going to get replaced anyway. Luckily that wasn’t the case.

    I thought about wrapping the ends of the pliers in electrical tape to add a softer layer. But the tube came out pretty easy. I use these pliers on a daily basis. I handle them like a surgeon. But I agree definitely not player friendly

    I provided a pic to give you an idea of the space I was working with.

    Look at the pic above. There no getting your fingers around that. But I do agree with you in most other cases I would use my fingers.

    its all I had available. The space in that head it freakishly tight. Not my pic grabbed it off the internet so you could get an idea.

    The original Ruby 12AX7 started making buzzing and static noises. I opened up the top of the head and tapped on it with a screwdriver only to hear the tapping sound come out of my cabinet. I used a pair of very thin needle nose pliers, and gently wiggled it out. It came out with no problem...

    The Facebook TB page is a hot mess.

    Haha, that is the most annoying aspect of the group.. Trolls hiding behind anonymous posts.

    Can someone please make me an admin? I want to help clean that place up. I run the Fender Bass Group. We run a very clean, very spam and BS free group. Thanks!

    Looking to "upgrade" the tweeter on my Markbass 102p combo. hiss help

    can you just figure it all out for me and give me a detailed easy to follow step by step instructions on how to do it?:laugh: Jkjk, thanks for chiming in. I have a great deal of respect for your knowledge. I may just stick to putting a piece of cloth in front of the tweeter for now. I wish this...

    Thanks for that. I see a lot of other Markbass users who have had success with the HT30. But i'll do more research

    @Wasnex - [This invalid link has been removed] - Like this idea just would need help with a wiring diagram and any other additional parts to make this work. Wonder if anyone has successfully installed this in a markbass combo. This would be killer if I could make it work.
