nice price
and if you want one with Active EMGs and kor haz ..mine is available with cass $450.
That's cool, I have not tried the Dunlop strings yet!
110 DR's will fit the BadAss II just fine, I used to use DR 110's on my BadAss equipped frankenjazz for BEAD tuning...I personally prefer Hi-Beams/Sunbeams, but if you want something with higher tension go for the one of the Lo-Rider sets, and if you need to go heavier than 110's you should try a Longneck set...those are just stainless Lo-Riders tapered at the bridge to a single wrap over the core
MDBass has the problem solved for you Donny, sounds like the longneck might be the way to go if you want the 115 and Lo-Rider for the tension....Great!
I slapped on the Lo riders. I love the tension on them, but I have to plug it in through the amp yet. I might have it talk with the practice amp tonight so I can get some sound ideas
Euro with the 18v/DCs sounded great through my little solid state practice amp last night. Definitely not as hot as the TP in my Black Cherry Euro, but a more defined sound for lack of better way to put it. Get to run it through the Orange BT500H tonight, looking forward to hearing her roar. I had to back the input gain off a bit with the TP so I expect I can bump it up again with the 18V pre. Once I got her tuned to pitch the action is a wee bit higher than I like, although I had no problems playing with it. I'll probably take her to bass SD this weekend to get the action lowered just a bit to my liking. So far though, she's the best playing bass I own, hands down.

Did switching to Lo Riders require an adjustment to your neck to compensate for the extra tension?
I just got an exciting phone call from one of my drummer buddies saying the bass player in their band is leaving for a new gig...and he wants me to audition to take the spot!
Looks like I'll get the tunes in the next few days, spend a few days learning some of the material and then it's on to the jam with the band.
...nothing is set in stone, but the music is right up my alley (rock/funk/jam type music) and they already have some pretty cool tour dates lining up for the beginning of the year!

Brad that is GREAT news!
Good luck but you won't need it, you'll win them over for sure! 
I like the tension myself, you can dig into these strings thats for sure!I slapped on the Lo riders. I love the tension on them, but I have to plug it in through the amp yet. I might have it talk with the practice amp tonight so I can get some sound ideas
Sounds like Heaven!
Keep an eye on the relief, I had to adjust my Fretless when I changed to the increased tension D'addario flats....

Hmm, I wonder what this could be?
It's NBD for me!
Big thanks to Jeff! She looks and plays like a dream! Can't wait to get her plugged in later!

I've dropped the price on my Black Cherry Euro 4LX TW as low as I can in the interest of moving it to a new home soon. The Black Euro with the US18v is going to keep the BC from getting any playing time. If you're looking to get into the Spector club or add to your collection, it's a beautiful looking, playing and sounding bass at a beautiful price. Link in my sig.

Almost. I probably should to be on the safe side. But being so close to the show this Saturday, I don't want to jinx it. I noticed a little buzzing on the 8th fret on the "a". Other than that, everything else is good

Kick out the jams, my friend!
I like the feel. I dig pretty hard so that'll be a good thing for me! Especially in the moment. When I'm getting into it, I dig really hard and don't realize I am. It's one of those "I have to be conscience of it" to not dig so hard.

I too am aggressive in my playing. I had my NS2 set up for the Lo Riders med gauge, but I'm thinking of going to the heavy gauge for even higher tension.
I like to have it so I can play normally without any fret noise but also want to slap it with my fingers at certain times to really bang them against the frets.
Problem is I too get so into the song sometimes that I just dig in too much and forget dynamics. I gotta stop doing that.

Tomy's NS-2A is a killer deal...if I didn't have that vintage NS-2 I would have snapped it up already
