Break-in is going to take 50-100 hours of loud music (not just switched on), and I would be reluctant to make any judgements before then. In my experience, it does not get better smoothly, it will backslide at least once during the process.Bass performance depends as much on the transformers as on the tube, maybe more. Probably best to ask George Wright himself - he knows his stuff.
Just a note - some modern 2A3s (e.g. the Sovtek) are constructed like 300Bs, and should have similar sonics.
