PF is more easy on the ears. Relaxing. Rush is tense, haunting, sometimes uneasy and complicated

No heavy cabs for me. I’m a bit older, still playing, but do not want to break my back. I bought an GR212Aero cab. Loud, good sounding and I can lift it with one arm/hand!

1970. I was 16. Höfner bass and Davoli amp.

Sonia and Mo at Nordstrand did all they could to help me with the trouble I had with my Cat. Together with my tech we solved the problem with the switch. It was mainly an earthing and shielding issue which made the switch malfunction. There is an Atlantic Ocean between Nordstrand and me, that...

Greywoulf, first: this is a great bass. It plays, looks and sounds fantastic! But: mine was from the early batches in 2020. From the start I had problems with the switches. The basses are built in Indonesia and I think the tropical humidity conditions may cause the eg. PU board switch to...

Where can I find the “Albert” mods?

My Acinonyx from August 2020 plays great, sounds great and looks great. BUT, the electronic parts inside (except ofcourse the fantastic PU’s) are not so great! Bad switches, sloppy soldering.The pick-up four way switch is a pain ita. The original one in my Cat wasn’t 100% ok. From Mo at...

I play an Acinonyx on a GR700 amp with a GR 212 enclosure. Would love to invite you to stand next to me when I play. Fasten your seatbelts!

Would you be so kind as to keep me informed? If more Cat owners would like to have a Hipshot Dtuner it could be more lucrative for them to produce a batch.

How did you order the D tune? I saw bassplayer Oscar in a Nordstrand YTfilm with one which had the same shape as the Cat’s tuners

Next week my guitartech will have a good look at the Cat and customize things for me. I found out that it’s not shielded on the inside and the volume pot needs tightning

Do the Hipshot D-tuners have the same shape as the Hipshots on the Cat?

No, I play with my thumb (a bit Sting-style) and pick with my fingers.

Thank you for your replay. My Cat was one of the first batches, maybe the problem was solved in later editions. I’ll try some polishing.
