It's actually my main bass head now! Although, I may have blown the tubes doomin out yesterday...

It's a great amp, I love that smeary overdrive it gets.

I live in Australia haha

Also waiting on a 200watt Wasp amp (also Aussie made). As a result, I may have to let go of the Strauss..

Not quite the gigantic setup that some of you all got, but it does give me very different flavors for recording.

Currently my main setup. I don't have a pic of just the amp so you get the whole lot.

I keep hearing great shit about Wasp and Strauss but I've never seen one in the flesh...let alone heard one.
I'd love to rock a home grown, but they just don't show up.
And when they do: $$$$

Apewizard, that is a badass collection.
I assumed you were in the UK with all that Matamp goin on.
What's the Strauss like anyhow?

Cheers! There was actually a store over in Brisbane who were distributing the Matamp stuff a few years ago, so I kinda snapped it up when I had a good tax return haha. Has served me very well - had little issues apart from a few power tubes going over the past couple years.

The Strauss Polka is very similar to a Fender bassman. It was advertised as having 4 power tubes, which would have been the 120 watt version, but once it arrived it turned out to be the 60 watt version with 2 power tubes. Got fairly rolled on that end >:(
