Hi Anyone have any experience with a brand by the name of Groove? This could either be a great bargain or an expensive mistake, not pulled the trigger on one of these but tempted Groove bass
-
Looking at the price of these they seem to be selling for £900+ , nice looking bass but no way I would blind buy at that price, you could get a Vintera P bass for that price.
-
Good choice, a couple of things to note 1. Make sure your get the Hofner specific set 2. The winding is quite long, it is absolutely normal and not an issue for some of the string to wrap around the tuning post, take your time with fitting the E string and you will be fine.
-
Honestly because of the scale length and the small tuners you are a bit restricted, Labella or TI (the Hofner sets for both) are both very good, the TI's being more articulate and the Labellas being thumper. When I used a Hofner I started on the Labellas but ended up using Thomastik infield as the lower tension suited me better.
-
I second this about the dead E string, deadest I have heard on a set of flats.
-
I was not a fan, I like the Rotosound and Daddario tapes but when I tried the Labellas I found my bass got absolutely buried in the mix, literally none of my notes were distinguishable, embarrassingly I found this out when I went to a jam night on the same night that I changed my strings, the one event where you are completely relying on your ears.
-
The other thing you could do is wire them in series with each other, that will give you a super beefy dark tone, they might be fine though with the tone rolled back, they have decent low end.

You don't want the Ultra jazz pickup, great pickups but bright and scooped, model J is what you want.

Gorgeous bass, how is the tone? Is the neck pickup similar to one of the Gibson mudbuckers? -
Ahh finally the Thomastik infeld jazz rounds have come off my bass, a set of short scale Fender rounds have taken there place, bass no longer sounds like it is being played with the tone rolled off, I know some people love TI rounds but definitely not for me.

Just a question on the tape issue, and apologies for the slight detail, does the tape serve a structural purpose or is it there just for the aesthetics? Have been considering a Danelectro for a while and the tape thing concerns me, if it is just there for aesthetics then I could remove the tape. -

What is the tension like on these, I love strings that are low tension and flexible, wondering if these would fit the bill for my shortscale Gretsch bass -

That would look great with a painted finish black neck

Assuming it is something easily replaceable like a Fender style bridge I would just get a new saddle, cheap and easy fix and hopefully should hold out for a long time.
