oldslapper Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) I am selling my 5 string Status Groove bass. I sold this not so long ago, regretted it, and bought it back. However, there are some cabs I have wanted for ages and they've come up for sale here, so this is up for grabs as I don't seem to be able to sell my Genz cab. It is in excellent nick, plays great and has bags of volume and tone similar to MM. Lovely flat neck profile and so easy to play. It has volume, treble/bass pots and an active/passive switch. I have nearly always used it as passive as the tone "straight" is very warm, but "grunty". It slaps like a newborn's bum, and I will undoubtedly stalk whoever buys this and when I have money, beg to buy it back...so fair warning. As said in the description, I will deliver/meet around the counties above, but no further at the present. I will post, at cost, but I will have to source a box to ship it in. It will come with a warwick padded rockbag. Here's a link to the Status resources for some details. 47mm nut width.

So, it's possible you have a non-standard one (perhaps all groove 5's were 19mm ?) but I think it's marginally more likely you mis-measured a bit and it's actually 18mm. ( Found the page [url="http://web.archive.org/web/20050226164511/status-graphite.com/oldsite/basstech.htm"]http://web.archive.org/web/20050226164511/...te/basstech.htm[/url] -- obviously (from the archive.org url) since deleted from the status site itself ... the page may be contemporary with your groove or not, I don't know) Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
