Golden Grooves
with a roasted maple neck - tasty!
Roasted maple is baked at 160 degrees Celsius in a special oven, often used for necks and fingerboards. All the moisture goes out, the molecular structure changes, the wood takes on a chocolate brown colour, feels great and sounds ... somehow better, somehow vintage, as if the neck has been played for a long time. And all notes sound even all over the fingerboard - no dead spots.
The GOLDEN GROOVE 2P bass shown here was developed according to a pro customer´s specifications. A Jay body in "Aged Gold" nitro finish with light playing marks, equipped with two hand-wound Ray Gerold Precision pickups and a special passive circuit. The roasted neck has bindings and pearl block inlays and has been oiled for the ultimate playing feel. The Hipshot tuners also look nice and old. You can rock, groove, blues and jazz in a relaxed way.
