Ibanez Adds To Its “grooveline”
Grooveline basses, with their numerous high-end appointments, have garnered a warm reception by reviewers, many of them lauding it for its ergonomic accomplishment—namely solving the “neck-dive” problem that has plagued standard basses for decades. “The design team’s first objective,” explains Nakamura, “was for bass and player to share a center of balance. So whether you’re playing standing up or sitting down, the first thing you’ll notice is something that as a bassist you may have never experienced —the Grooveline does not require the support of your hands. Meaning you can use them for other things—like playing bass!”
