The Groovelines are among the most expensive of Ibanez's bass lineup. (I guess I'll just look forward to TB classifieds over the next few years... lol)

| | | The design looks so much better in playing position. Like this: 
Still...I get why people don't like it. It's not my favorite design.
Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. I, for example, hate everything about the P bass. Looks, feel, sound. All dreadful.

The clips I've heard sure sound great though. Not too interested in the sixer though. I love my SR1206, and the spacing on the Grooveline looks too wide for me. I know a lot of people find the spacing on the six string SR's too narrow, so this may appeal to them. I'd love to have a four string Grooveline. Just add it to my G.A.S. list! |

There are so many good basses out there, but yet not anybody likes the design.
I don't care how good they are, there really isn't any Fodera bass that I like, due to it's shape.
For others, the Music Man Bongo is a very ugly bass, cause it's so round.
It's good there is taste, otherwise this world would be pretty boring
