Hi,
I've been playing a Fender Prosonic for about 2 1/2 years now with the original tubes. No problems yet but as I gig 1-2 times a week I'm getting worried that the tubes might burn out some night on a gig.

My questions are:
When should I retube the amp, and how often? Again, I use the amp 2-3 times a week for gigs, band practice, etc.

Can I change the tubes myself? Do I have to have the amp rebiased everytime I change the tubes?
