Sometimes you read what you want to see...dirt.

Yeah not bad at all

A bit more sparkle, but a nice shade. apparently lpb is satin...Penny is gloss?

It was the studio model done in about 2005. they were ok, but didn’t have the through neck (set) and just a flat body, no raised centre. epiphone did a p/j “reverse” 5 string, but was all intents and purposes a fender style bass in the rough shape of a thunderbird

Listened to the album this morning again. Undecided

I quite like the “penny” finish...

And I sold mine for £250 🤨

Yeah they were graphite reinforced...the one I mentioned above I think wore a status MM Graphite neck. edit - it was sold on basschat in 2008/2009

Tony Kanal needs to sell it to me.

Want this too...

@visog have you met @karlfer 🤔

Well like I say, the last grooves had graphite necks. and he’d charge you £1500+ to make one again 😉

I would like a 4 again - one of the later ones. i keep an eye out, but wouldn’t want to pay more than £350

Oh god knows, about £350, it was a black 5 string

hmm... think I’ll be getting white pearl made - but damn, this looks nice.

I hate honey 🤔

I’d say between £300-£400 is good money for one of these, heading towards £500 is into USA MM Sub 5 territory and maybe even tatty 2eq money (but not 5 string MM). I sold mine as it sounded “nearly” stingray ish, but not quite and that did my head in a bit as it was sort of neither jazz nor stingray.

They crop up used from time to time, I had a black one for a year or so and enjoyed it. there are two versions, the early ones had a more “droopy” headstock which always looked odd to me, the later ones have a straighter one which allows better string travel. the last ones made had a graphite neck (think there may only actually be one with a natural finish...) @karlfer is selling a really nice retro-J which I think was the replacement for the groove as it still has the more traditional body shape.
