Used but NOS amp + footswitch + Power cable. This amp was born on 01/16/16 and is a beast, too much for me to handle after playing around with it. I am the 2nd owner, between the first owner and myself this amp has less than 100hrs on the tubes. Shipping cost are actual to buyer. Amp weight with packing materials will be around 60lbs to 70lbs-ish.

The Bass Strategy™ Eight:88™ is the next step in the MESA All-Tube Bass Amp Bloodline. Vastly improved Tone, features, dial-ability, portability, packaging and control over the entire spectrum make the Strategy – and its little brother the Bass Prodigy™ Four:88™ – an iconic step forward in Bass amplification. With an all-new tube preamp, a 5-position Rotary VOICE Selector, our 9-Band Graphic Equalizer, patented Multi-Watt™ 3-Way Selectable Power, Foot switchable SOLO and VOICE control (foot switch included), a Rear Tuner Output, and an all new, high output power section utilizing eight KT-88s – the STRATEGY is THE big horsepower, big venue tube Bass Amp for the new millennium.

49 POUNDS OF SHAPEABLE KT-88 POWER

Custom Designed AND Handcrafted Exclusively in Petaluma, California, the Bass Strategy weighs in at only 49 pounds, similar to Triple Rec™ Head. Compact for a full size amp, dimensions for the metal chassis head are 7 7/16 inches in height, 18 7/8 inches in width and a depth of 13 3/16 inches. 4 rack spaces.

Power in the Bass Strategy Eight:88 originates from an all tube power amp and preamp featuring 8 KT-88 power tubes and a combination of 2x Mesa 12AX7 and 1x Mesa 12AT7 preamp tubes. It’s important to note that tube amps sound as loud as solid state amps rated at several times their power (wattage) rating. Plug in and compare

– Amazing power, unmatched fat, enveloping tone and inspiring feel.
