Good ideas! The bass has a pro setup on it i.e. I have not messed with it. However, the action is a little high and maybe there is something to be gained.

This makes me feel a little better. No pedals for me. I just reviewed the tone pool and I don't think that I am too far out of the norm on the settings. The rig is still great and I don't get beyond 1 on the master anyway. I was just a little bugged that I might have a less than 100% working...

When engaged it doesn't distort much and there is a hiss that increases with the level increase. I just recently picked up the 210 extension and the problem is amplified by...
