On that bass, with the Lollars and the other mods, even I would prolly leave things as they are -- it's not like it's a $60 Chinabucker. Think of all the things you don't need to spend money on -- lunch, takeaway food -- and you can save enough for a Cataldo in no time.

Looking forward to giving the yba 200-2 a spin at practice today. Now debating whether to bring the 1822 or the 212. Might take both just to see which works best
Definitely both, sequentially, as it will be very interesting to hear how it goes with 1822.
Wanna know what's better than two cabs? FOUR!!!You can make it work! I believe in you!!
And right there we have a requirement for a 16Ω cab.
Agreed. I'm stuck in NJ for the weekend and they are driving me crazy. So my mind wanders.

Went with the 1822. Volume doesn’t appear to be an issue
We’ll just start with the one and see how it goes
Can't see the gain setting, but I note you have my approved EQ settings and the resonance maxxed -- it must sound terrifying.
Got my stock string action super low with no problem. Bridge is nearly resting on the body and string to fret clearance at the 12th fret is less than a dime. About the same clearance on the front pup and a bit more on the bridge pup. Plays fantastic. Was leaning towards Roto 77 Jazz flats or La Bella flex flats. Which Rotos were you thinking it needed?

Would that be them big ass Fruit Eating Bats?
The same. Sitting there wondering what the noise is, and it's the trailing edges of their wings vibrating as they glide in to land on the fig tree across the street -- that how close they were.
I wonder if logging out and back in would fix it for you.
I don't think anybody can fault you there. Let's just hope it finds it's way back home
Speaking of low action... it jumped again on my 'Ray yesterday. I've spoken with the guys at the Bass Shop. I gotta send it back to them. If they can't figure it out, they're gonna send it to Music Man. It's great they're ready, willing, and able to help me out... but it sux cuz I could be without it for months
So, I did a search for bats and bass, and....
Is the truss still doing the auto unwind thing?Speaking of low action... it jumped again on my 'Ray yesterday. I've spoken with the guys at the Bass Shop. I gotta send it back to them.

Love the look of that bat DB. Although, because I have zero upright experience I'd look like a fool showing up to lessons with one of those. Guess it'll have to wait until I have enough cred to pull it off.
Never seen anything like that before. If I had to guess I'd say the rod is maxed out in the direction you're turning it or possibly it was installed wrong or defective. The likelyhood of it being installed wrong or defective is pretty low. Musicman is known for their quality products and flaw free basses. Never had to return anything from them so not sure how easy they are to work with. Hope all works out well though.
Or a Mesa Strategy that is happy at 2Ω
Mine randomly started working. Never logged off of this computer, wasn't messing with settings, was in this thread when it started working.
That really blows man!! Hopefully they figure it out quick!Speaking of low action... it jumped again on my 'Ray yesterday. I've spoken with the guys at the Bass Shop. I gotta send it back to them.
