AndyTravis Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Having sold some gear and cleared a couple of things off - I’d hoped to get a Status Groove from these very pages. Typically - it’d sold about 4 hours before my gear had been paid for. “Oh well, they drop up from time to time - will have a mooch on Facebook marketplace...” I saw this. Hours later, a deal was struck. It was our very own @Geddys nose who I’ve dealt with before. tis very good. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was originally built for James Stelfox of Starsailor...it’s had an East Pre fitted now, so once i’ve sorted new batteries (currently only in passive mode) it will come alive.

Happy Jack Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I had the GP Vintage Artist some years ago ... one of the few basses I genuinely regret selling. Those things are bloody lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Need to get a small washer and nut for the switch - don’t like how it moves without them and can only anticipate breakage if it’s not sorted: Have e-Mailed @John-E-Retro to see if I can buy some.

karlfer Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 It was mine Andy, as soon as you mentioned James, I remembered picking it up from him in Warrington, he gave me two excellent CDs of his then current band. I tried it in his home studio. My memory is worrying me! I sold it cos I was skint, it didn't have the East then. Wonderful bass you lucky guy 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubis Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Very cool bass, I bet it sounds lush. I was watching and learning 'Kiss and Tell' last night with the maestro himself.

The one with knobs 😂 In all honesty - no clue, meant to look it up, but it sounded good from when I put the batteries in so didn’t need to read up. It’s Vol/Blend/stack bass&treb/tone control active passive switch separate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I've been so jealous, I've been unable to comment until now...that looks ( and presumably sounds) one hell of a bass!😍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
