I'm sorry that the production run version has come to an end, but I'm very happy that it happened. I love the feel of the Cats and I have had no interest in playing anything else since I found them.

Agreed - I have been so happy with my Cats that I honestly don't even look at new basses any more. I know that it's somewhat sacrilegious to admit being content with what I have...

Here’s one of the other V2 color combinations I’m fond of:

Mine came with a removable plastic film. Feel free to peel away!

I think the red looks great, and I had a really hard time deciding between it and the LPB. Solved the dilemma by getting blue for my V1 and then ordered a red V2 a couple weeks ago. Hopefully I'll be getting my hands on it any day now!

That's a great looking Cat! Just out of curiosity - how long ago did you order it?

Me too - hopefully shortly!

I had been thinking about doing this also since they seem pretty clear about NOT offering a 5 string version. Has anyone tried it?

As an admitted Cat fan, I hope that Greywoulf and LightForce104 and others don't ever feel like they CAN'T express concerns on this forum. Yes it is probably going to skew more to the "pro" Cat side of things because of the nature of the group, but all voices should always be welcome!!

Welcome back, SoniaMara! I for one have REALLY appreciated you being accessible on this forum. It has been almost a year since I encountered the issue with my bridge. I sent a note directly and Sonia responded promptly (I just looked back and it was 4 minutes). At that time Sonia hadn't heard...

I had the problem with the saddle for my A string that I fixed with Loctite, and I added shielding to my bass just in case, but I have to say that I love playing this bass so much. I play in the praise band at my church, and today I had to play a different bass because 2 of the songs we were...

It does of course come down to personal preference. All I know is that, for me, my Cat is by far my favorite bass from 40+ years of playing. If something were to happen to it I wouldn't hesitate to try to replace it as soon as possible, and the price increase wouldn't make any difference.

Mine does the same, so the flat tone is not currently an option I can use, but I love playing this thing. It sounds like I should try shielding the pickguard to see if I can get that option back. Actually, I guess I should wait and see if this takes care of things for you, PockySteve. Will...

What color is your cat? I could see that looking great on all of the colors

It's really tempting to get a second one - but I suppose I should let someone else get a first one...
