Default KT88 or KT90 for scratch built bass amp???

Anyone care to comment on which tube would be "better" for a high powered bass
amp? By "better", I mean more reliable when abused. You know how we bassists
are! I've been wanting to try my hand at building a high powered all tube bass
amp, but I figure someone else's experiences will help save me a lot of time
and money. I've built a few bass amps in the 100 to 200 Watt range, but I'd
like to take things up a few notches. And if I'm happy with the results, MAYBE
I might actually make a few for sale...

But I sure as heck couldn't call them "Mitchell Amps". People might think I'm
the "other" Tom Mitchell that made amps in Riverside, California back when I
was still in High School, and then people would expect me to FIX all those
bargain-basement Boogie clones...

By all means, POST your response, but PLEASE respond by EMAIL too! I;m only
drop in to this newsgroup two or three times a month.

Best regards,
Tom Mitchell
