    My Mesa d180...

    Mine sits on top of a homemade EV TL606 cabinet with a Bag End 15” in my practice room. It still gets regular use.

    Teach me on the Fender Precision American Standard 2012

    I liked that CS62 pup so much I have it in four of my P Basses. Nothing like it IMO.

    Price Check: Bergantino HS410

    That’s a great deal, put some wheels on the bottom if it doesn’t have them already. One of the best 410s ever made, it pairs especially well with tube amps.

    Woke up this morning and realised I'm a Jazz Bass guy...

    I played a jazz bass in an 11 piece band with keys and full horn section. I still remember when I showed up at rehearsal with my new P bass. Everyone remarked that they could finally hear me. That was over ten years ago, been playing Ps ever since.

    Ceramic? Seems to be a trend.

    Mesa Subway Micro Head?

    I keep an Elf in my gig bag solely for back up. And that’s where it stays.

    mesa wd800 question

    Amp settings are irrelevant unless you know the cabinet configuration you are using, notwithstanding going ampless and sending through the DI or fx send. Generally the more gain on that amp, the more (slightly) overdriven it will sound.

    Being old and weak, I have a question.

    I think a Fender Rumble 100 would be a perfect solution for your second amp. It has enough power to sound decent and is very light. Life is too short to have unsatisfying bass tone. Fender Rumble 100

    Having owned a DB750 and a mid-70s SVT, I can attest they are all great amps. I will add that I think the Ultra can get awful close to sounding like an SVT in the vintage voice with the drive a little less than halfway. Close enough for me, at least. Fan noise has never been an issue with any of...

    Just pointing out the obvious safe ways of doing it. Anything else and there is trouble.

    Are we assuming here that the OP used the line out/send from the drums into the effects return or front input on the D800?

    Yes I am. I finally had enough of the Massachusetts winters. And a Trop Rock Band found me. 😁
