Is it ok to store guitar pickups and vacuum tubes in the same drawer?

[drgonzo1969]

I have a guitar junk drawer with random stuff in it. tubes, pickups, tuners... you know how it goes. I was wondering if the magnets in the pickups could be harmful to the vacuum tubes?

Negatron. Tubes by their design and nature are not prone to gaussian near-field effect when not powered. But then, I've never tried to pick up vacuum tube with a magnet of any kind.

I was just thinking of when they are powered on, they can get pretty close to the transformers, and in the case of some combo amps the speaker magnet as well. Perhaps some ill effects there!

think about how close tubes sit next to the power and output transformers in an amp. and those magnets are not small.

you’re good

It's fine. But only a HUT! would do so.

It hard to know what's a serious question and what's a troll anymore.

Nope! and don’t put your socks and underwear in the same drawer either… they don’t get along.

Don't do it. Trust me.

Syphilis.

I know it’s sounds dumb but I thought it better to ask. The tubes are sitting RIGHT next to the pickups in the drawer.

If they get "busy" you'll have some butt-ugly little hermaphrodites that you must kill immediately, lest they grow and devour their parents — 'cause then you'll have nothing, can't even use the evil-spawn in bass amps...

Geez - a guy can't even ask a question anymore! I applaud you for taking it on the chin Dr Gonzo. To paraphrase a famous saying - there are no stupid questions, only smartass answers.

Just cover 'em with goop. No one will see them.
