hi,i have a marshall mb450.it has a valve in the pre amp.the problem i,m havin is when you stop playing the rig goes into bass feedback which is like low mids howling.the only way to stop this is to damp the strings.the overall sound is very low mid to the point of booming.i have used different basses and it remains the same.i have used these basses on other amps and there is no problems so i think i can rule out the basses.could this be the pre amp valve/tube on the way out?

It could well be the valve going microphonic, which happens when they are old, hopefully changing the valve could sort out the feedback. JJ Tesla vales are one of the best quality replacements.
