MESA/Boogie Bass Strategy 8:88 -- Classic Punk Drive
http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/Bass_Amps/strategy/bassStrategy.html
The aggression and attack of punk rock and heavy styles will find itself right at home in the forgiveness that an all-tube amp like the Strategy 8:88 offers while at the same time delivering knockout punch with authority. The tube preamp of the Strategy offers it's own blend of clip and drive, especially when digging in. Half and Low Power settings add KT-88 power section clip to the overdrive mix providing a huge range of classic grit possibilities from subtle to reckless. The EQ is ON in this clip with a big mid boost at 600hz for added dirt and mid bite while the low end is tamed for heavier-handed attack with a pick.
Recorded with an Beyerdynamic M88 in front, a Sennheiser 421 on the back of the cab, and the POST D.I. of the Bass Strategy 8:88
