Being a [b]huge expert [/b](as already noted and very modest too!) your bass has the slimline neck moulding of course with the `narrow' central body graphite spine, which of course does not appear on the rear of the bass! I nearly bought one that year with a birdseye maple front - ah![/quote] I didn't think you were that big last time I saw you Nick...................

Merton Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 [quote name='lee4' post='243483' date='Jul 19 2008, 07:39 PM']OK all you Status experts,I own a Groove,in 3 tone sunburst,and it's the Dachshunds danglers! Low action,great tone,great neck. Anyone else got one?[/quote] [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='243492' date='Jul 19 2008, 08:10 PM']Merton is the one to talk to about Grooves. He has two - One fretted and one fretless.[/quote] That I do. A fretted 5 in black and a fretless 4 in "midnight wine". The fretless was the last "real" Groove made (i.e. one with a wooden neck!), about 2-3yrs after they stopped manufacturing them. Rob found enough bits left to "cobble it together" and in his own words "it turned out really nicely". Erm, understatement, it was the bass which converted me to Status Since then he's done at least 2 more with their MM-replacement graphite necks, but they don't count..

lowhand_mike Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 mmmm, i do like status basses, wanted ever since i saw the bassists from Therapy and Senseless Things using them (thats back in the early 90's i think) but just never had the beer tokens to afford one. i'll keep dreaming.
