Status-Graphite "The Groove" 4-string bass finished in 'Claret Red' *£695* £695 Derbyshire, UK

[HeadlessBassist]

Here we have a very nice condition Status-Graphite "The Groove" 4-string bass, finished in 'Claret' red/burgundy. (Definitely looks more burgundy to the eye!) The bass is around 26 years old (1999 build) and presents well for its age. There are a few light scratches as you'd expect and one very small ding in the back, but nothing serious and all looking in good order for it's comparative age.

 

Alder body, three-piece maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, light weight tuners, 'TRIMAX' pickup (basically three single coils joined to make a humbucker with the inner coil used for hum cancelling). Two-band EQ with cut/boost on Treble/Bass and true passive/active switching via a micro-switch. 

 

The Bass has just been set up with a nice low action & no fret buzz, and has brand new D'Addario 45-105 strings added. Comes complete with generic Gig Bag and strap locks.

 

Offered at a reasonable £695 (dealers are trying to hawk "The Groove" Basses at anything between £850 & £1500?!)  

 

Interesting trades considered. Worst I can say is no thanks  

 

Buyer to collect from either Derbyshire DE7 (Friday-Tuesday), or Gloucester/Stroud (Wednesday-Thursday), or can meet half way up to a reasonable distance.

 

Payment via Cash or Direct Bank Transfer. No PAYPAL.

I think the one that was for £500 was based in Leicester.

No idea. (I haven't been on FaceBook since 2012!) I took it as a part exchange last Friday in a trade with my Status Series 1 that was for sale on here.

Nope, definitely didn't come from Leicester.
