Hi, I am new to this forum and have just got my first Status bass - a Groove - and I love it. I have had a variety of basses, Fender, Musicman, G&L, Yamaha, etc. and currently have a Classic Vibe 50's P-bass and a couple of acoustic basses, but I have always hankered after a Status. Maybe the others will have to go in favour of another Status - any advice on models. The band I play in plays mainly country, blues and middle of the road covers (Sinatra, etc.). I don't know the year of the bass but the number on the back of the headstock is 0581986 - any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Steve
