MESA/Boogie Bass Strategy 8:88 -- Uptempo Thumb
http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/Bass_Amps/strategy/bassStrategy.html
Classic tone with modern clarity. Fast bass yet full & warm. And... TUBE FEEL... right where you want it. This clip features the Full Power setting with all eight KT-88 power tubes in use. BIG Tube headroom delivers quick responsiveness to your attack and technique while always standing by with some low frequency bloom when you slow down and dig in. Coliseum-grade headroom at 465 'Tube' watts... while the volume can impress you on Low Power, it's when the TONE surrounds you in a 'three-dimensional tube bath' that you being to realize why high-power tube amps for bass can hardly be beat.
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
