jimbobothy Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) Hello, I'm selling my Status Groove bass 5 string as I've recently bought another 5 string bass and can only play one at once!! It's definitley been used and has a few marks here and there on it, it's not a minter but it would make a very good gigging bass! It does play very very easily and it is nice and light for a 5 string with very good balance. Those of you who are familiar with Status know that their necks are some of the thinnest and easiest to play, no exception here folks! The sound is even across the strings and the B has some power to it. The bass is active/passive with the active having bass/treble boost/cut. When in passive mode there is only volume, however it is true passive. I'm going to ask for £300 ono, with that you'll also get a used (read a bit battered) Hiscox hard case (there is no branding on it, just nice and plain). You'd be more than welcome to come and try it out (Huddersfield, West Yorkshire), I'd be willing to post but only at the organisation and expense of the buyer. Tell me your thoughts please, James.

oldslapper Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I miss mine, and your's is even prettier in natural. These are great basses, the necks' slim profile is a dream......and that is a good price. If this isn't gone soon I'm gonna have it, please someone buy it.

Jigster Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 can u describe it's sound at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobothy Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 Yeah, it's got a fairly powerful B string, the harmonics ring nice and clearly, the upper register is very clear and you can get a nice 'burpy' sound from it when you play over the pickup. It hasn't got an overly powerful midrange (compared to a Warwick for example) but is does sound good and plays really easily!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
