I just spotted a 5-string Groove on Gumtree!

Worth a search on the site- I'm not connected with the sale at all, more 'saw this and thought of you'! As coincedence would have it there's also a Barracuda, not that I can afford either...

That Groove looks to be the same one that @AndyTravis linked to on eBay.

There's one in Torquay on FB, asking price £295.

Yep - that's it.

At that price it's almost worth driving down there.

I posted a thread of it with its Statii mates (though they're not groovy either...).

My vague (and frankly, missing!) point was that if I hadn't bought the Warwick, I might've gone for that Groove.

I've got to keep away from bloddy forums - they keep giving me ideas!

There's no "oh dear" about it. If you hadn't bought it you'd have ended up with 'what if' for the rest of your life. That's worse than being cast into hell fire and damnation. 😄

Haha.

I suppose it'll make my set of 5-strings up to 5...

Well, I got it!

First impressions are a feeling of quality...

Funnily enough, the seller was offloading it because his band(s) said it had too many strings.

I part-ex'd an Epi EB0 against it.

Do people still do that with 5 strings?

Mine was that colour although I'm sure it came in a Hiscox case with the Status name on it.

I have a 4 string groove bass wine Red finish. Wooden neck reinforced with graphite. Don't use it much these days but not sure I could part with it as it's becoming a bit of a rarity!

Don’t say that. I’m buying other things now 😉

[Dave Kane]

Very RARE.  Wood finish. Graphite neck. 5 string.  Possibly only one of these on the planet !!!
