I just finished a mid 1967 Superbass/Lead/Whatever build and I am excited as hell to use it but I have mondo high voltages on pin 3 of all the power tubes. I initially did not check them and threw in a shitty old set of tubes just to test it and I was playing it and it sounded decent. No where near as loud as my Superlead reissue however

Now I noticed the bias range was -50 to -62 or so, so I changed out the Iskra 68k and put in a 47k from the bag of components from Valvestorm and that brought it down to a range closer listed in the Owl instructions. However the range was still not the -30 to -50 as listed which I can't understand.
More importantly after dumping in a fresh set of Mullards they became wicked hot and redplated at idle, so I shut her down quick. I took out the tubes and checked the voltages and it sits at 540 ON PIN 3!!!! Is this not crazy ass high? I just want to play this damn thing already and make a ton of noise. Help a mang!
