Tube amps have been found to generally perform above their weight class, and typically have a warmer tone than solid state amps. THey also use tubes, which are relatively expensive and most tube amps require them all to be replaced and re-biased at the same time - also costly.
I know that Elmeaux loves her Fender Rumble. If you were looking at the Fender or the Orange amps, you'll have to compare feature to feature and certainly try them out with your bass. Every combo has its own tone/sound and you need to find the one that's right for you.
