It was a Hiwatt 200w amp with various cabs.... either two 4x12 guitar cabs or a bass cab 'the size of a door'. He also blew speakers and didn't bother replacing them.
im a jj burnell fan and ive been trying so hard to get a simalar tone
i come close with the danelectro fab overdrive, p-bass and bassman
If you look up the Stranglers on the Wiki site, they say he used Rotosound 66's for the P bass, and the 'signature' tone from Ratus Norvegicus album was 'studio' done. and he plays with a pick.
I can get near to the sound with my Jazz bass.

Pick + P-bass + overdriven guitar amp with guitar speaker cabinet = JJ BURNEL MASSIVE CRUNCH TIME!!!!
Great singer, to boot.
