voxpop Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) I'm selling it for my husband............. Alarm bells start to ring. I'm listing this guitar for my husband as he got a new bass recently, he says: it plays really well, its got a great neck (strung with Rotosound stainless steel pressure wound) Edited March 30, 2011 by voxpop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Looks like one which has failed to sell on ebay over the last few months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 You're right - just goes to show how custom luthier basses don't hold their value - bet it's heaps better than a MIM?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I offered them 315 several weeks ago and they refused - now its down to 300! Oh well, nice bass for little money but I've bought something else now. Anyonw out there got a 5 string of these in natural? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatEric Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 For what it's worth. . . . I have a Status Shark and a Groove. Both are really nice basses. The Groove is VERY nice and if it wasn't for the fact that I am trying to cure my NAS (Noah's Ark Syndrome) I would have this in a flash. Top quality, beautiful neck, balances well, nice weight, great sounds. . . I could go on and on. [url="http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.com/2010/10/status-groove.html"]My Groove [/url] If you are looking for a very good bass at £STUPID for what it is, grab it please before I can't resist any longer. Nurse. . . . . My injections, please. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 What is the tone of these things like? Looking at the pickup arrangement, I'm guessing that they might be slightly Stingray-like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always regretted selling my Groove 5er (madness) but still have a fretless (the last "real" Groove out of the factory, wooden neck as opposed to the three which followed with graphite necks) and now have a Shark 5er which I love too. They are both so... playable. Fantastic basses [quote name='Conan' post='1184770' date='Apr 1 2011, 02:27 PM']What is the tone of these things like?
