The Mesa/Boogie Bass Strategy Eight:88 sports eight KT88s in its engine room, pumping out bone-crunching volume and stunning bass tone that'll take your breath away. Boasting a jaw-dropping 465 watts of raw tube power, this beast is ready for your next arena gig, but you can knock it back to a tidy 250 watts for club work or a svelte 125 watts for recording. Multi-watt operation is only one of a boatload of great features this amazing bass amp gives you. If you've been jonesing for a world-class bass head, we've got yours: the Mesa/Boogie Bass Strategy Eight:88.

Stunning power
The Mesa/Boogie Bass Strategy Eight:88 is about power. Tube power and lots of it. With eight (count 'em) KT88s under the hood, the Bass Strategy generates 465 watts of stunning, stadium-filling volume. And remember, these are tube watts, they're much louder than equivalent solid-state watts. Impressive, but Bass Strategy is also a world-class tone monster.

Monster tone
Mesa/Boogie's Bass Strategy Eight:88 head not only serves up amazing bass tone; it gives you the tools to shape it to achieve your signature sound. This head has three 12AX7s in its wheelhouse, along with massive tone-shaping mojo. You get a gain control, active bass, passive mids, active treble, a 5-position active mid-voicing switch, and, of course, a master volume. But there's much more (including a footswitchable, assignable, or bypassable 9-band Graphic EQ). No wonder it's called the Bass Strategy.

Amazing versatility 
The Mesa/Boogie Bass Strategy Eight:88 is one of the most versatile bass heads we've seen. Take its footswitchable solo level control. With this nifty feature, you can nail the perfect volume for your solo with a tap of your foot. Speaking of your foot, the Bass Strategy 5-button footswitch (a highly recommended option) sports buttons laid out ergonomically in two rows. And to prove Mesa has their thinking caps on, there's even a second tuner out jack on the footswitch! There's more, including adjustable Bias control with LED indicator to accommodate wider tolerances found in KT88’s, a balanced XLR line out, multi-impedance Speaker-1/4" combo outputs. But you really must experience the Bass Strategy for yourself. Get a taste of what playing through a world-class bass amp feels like. It's addictive.
