Status The Groove  - 4 String   - Sold 

 

Status The Groove  - 4 String  £429 shipped Mainland UK.

Taken recently in part trade, nice bass but I need to replace some funds.

No trades thanks.

Can be thought of as a Status take on the Stingray? – maybe a little more versatile too with the active / passive switch.

Made In England.  The usual Status high build quality.

Bass is very well set up, very tactile and responsive.  There is a shim in the neck - happy to remove it if required, but it plays so well I've left it there.

I find the bass cut and boost on this to be well voiced at 120HZ

Nice figuring on the fretboard.

Just a couple of small marks on the underside of the bass edge.

Some scuffs and scrapes on the end of headstock

The all important specs:

 

Active eq: Treble +/- 11db at 5.5KHz
 

Bass +/- 12db at 120Hz
 

Active/passive switch
 

TriMax Hum-cancelling pickups
 

21 fret Rosewood f/b
 

Chrome hardware
 

Alder body
 

Maple neck

Loved the Grooves I owned, the neck profile is really nice.

Fuming. Been after this colour for ages in a 4 (owned a 5 for a while)...

No trades...no money in the bank.

FUMING

What a beauty

These are darned good basses - I've got a 5-string.

The nearest thing to them is a Music Man.

Great necks on these. Played one several years back that I thought was nicer than any Stingray I’d played. This is a great colour too. Very tempting.

Still want this. If I move my 2 on, there might be enough left over for this...
