lee4 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Big bump for a Groove! Hope it goes to a good home. As a long-term Groove owner,I can honestly say that these are the most comfortable basses I have ever played. Great balance,good weight. Best of luck with the sale.
ubit Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Bump no. 2I would love to snap it up but have just bought a Spector euro and have a leak under my floor at home, so no basses for a bit Edited April 9, 2014 by ubit
Merton Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Brilliant bass (still miss it) Brilliant chap to deal with

rob_89 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Replied to couple of PMs after holiday.... Bump!
alyctes Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 :runs away from GAS attack: good luck with your sale!
Westie9 Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 I had one, wish I'd never sold it. Good luck with the sale...
rob_89 Posted May 23, 2014 Author Posted May 23, 2014 [quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1400852763' post='2457566'] Trades? [/quote] Sorry cant really afford to at the minute after another recent purchase...maybe tempted with an offer though!
floFC Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 This is really nice in white! I can't afford to get a new bass at the moment, sadly.
JimH Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Have a bump - just bought a black 5-string so I know how good these are!
Conan Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 I've always liked the look of these, but never played one. I was just wondering - do they sound anything like a Stingray due to the pickup positioning? Or are they more J bass-like?
throwoff Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Why are these so cheap! If there was any sense in the guitar world they would be over a grand in this nick.
rob_89 Posted July 7, 2014 Author Posted July 7, 2014 Thanks guys. The general consensus suggests they are the "status answer to stingray" however, never owned a stingray so i couldnt really comment. Not like a jazz though! Hopefully comments to follow from forum members who've played both......
rob_89 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Ok bump and a price drop...now £275 posted to the UK
JimH Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Can't believe this hasn't been snapped up yet bump......
LukeFRC Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I looked at this when it was posted and had to talk myself out of buying it - how is it still here?
rob_89 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Posted July 15, 2014 Thanks guys, there doesnt seem to be much love for it Im not sure why either!
Merton Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Great bass, great guy to deal with. I'd have had it back if I hadn't blown up my GK head!
mcc Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Had one of these with a graphite neck but sold it due to its limited tonal ability when compared to my Status Matrix. The body shape and pick up placement makes it one of the most comfortable bass I have ever played. I've been wanting a wooden neck one for a while, ideally a five string, but If you still have it when I get back to the UK in September I might go for it. Good luck selling it.
