From Oh! The Ocean (2025). Oh! The Ocean is the sixth studio album by English rock band the Wombats, released on 14 February 2025. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the nearest rig we use for The Wombats' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
