The Strange Sensation's bassist, Billy Fuller, uses a sunburst Fender Precision and a double-bass. Live, he uses an Ampeg head with a couple of Ampeg cabs (4x10" size).
'The Mighty Rearranger' is a really strong album and I'm surprised that more people on TalkBass haven't mentioned it. I love the song 'Freedom Fries' - a classic Zep-style riff with a Middle Eastern twist.

I've got a couple of live radio broadcasts from last year and the band are seriously tight live.
