With the Ibanez Talman Bass TMB100-TFB Tri Fade Burst the Japanese company presents a four-string electric bass in the extremely unique Talman design first introduced in 1994. The combination of poplar body, bolt-on maple neck and passive Ibanez Dynamix pickups promises a classic yet versatile sound that can be perfectly adjusted via the active 2-band tone control.
For the TMB100 Talman Bass, the bass builders at Ibanez rely on a classic combination of poplar body and bolt-on maple neck, promising a warm primary tone with a powerful low end and crisp attack. The strong "TMB" neck profile nestles comfortably in the hand while the Jatoba fingerboard with 41 mm nut width offers enough space for clean fingerings between the 20 medium frets.
For the electric sound conversion, passive Ib anez Dynamix pickups are used on the Ibanez Talman Bass TMB100, covering a wide spectrum of classic sounds. So the Ibanez Dynamix P split-coil in the middle position convinces with a merciless rock sound that pushes every groove through the band sound with aggressive growl in the low mids, while the Dynamix J single-coil at the bridge delivers a smoothly articulating tone with high transparency and wiry precision. furthermore, this four-string is equipped with an active 2-band tone control for further sound customization.
Ibanez Talman Bass TMB100-TFB Tri Fade Burstthis is a beautiful bass. although i m not an ibanez fan this one it surely is a good looking bass with a beautiful sound and easy play. the most important thing however is it's price. i can't think any other bass as good as this one for under 200euros.
recomended for begginers as for someone who wants an instument for everyday use in practice with or without a band with or without an amp.
Great sound, great looks, great materials, great build... At less than EUR200, it certainly feels like you just get a whole lot of bang for your buck. In love with this thing.
