Ibanez Adds 6-String to Grooveline Bass Series

Ibanez has extended their Grooveline series with the introduction of the G106, a six-string version of the ergonomically-minded model. Made in Ibanez’s Japanese factory, the bass is designed for optimized balance in sitting and standing positions.

  1. I have an Ibanez btb 5 and love it. Id have one of these in a heartbeat.

  2. Nice bass. I like everything Ibanez in fact, I’ve only got one Ibby at the moment, but I’d like to get me a BTB, and why not, this beauty here too.

  3. I really want to get my hands on one of these just to try it. They look like amazingly comfortable basses.

  4. That’s one sexy bass.

  5. Too bad it’s not neck-through and 24 frets.

  6. is this available as a fretless?
