Tubes for MusicMan

rebel420	Tubes for MusicMan My dad picked up a used Music Man (2100? 2-10"speakers, (4)el34 power tubes, (1) 12ax7 driver, 130watts) combo. The person he purchased the amp off of had it retubed recently with NOS Mullards. He offered to trade me the mullards for whatever i'm willing to put in this amp and bias it with, so he cna resell the amp. Would Sovtek el34WXT's work with the high plate voltages the MM used? what would be a good choice to replace that amp with, and give ti a more 'fendery' tone. I know 6550's may work, but may be overkill.. any suggestions?
