Description

The Talman bass series combines the re-emergence of a historic Ibanez body shape with powerful genre-hopping versatility. TMB electronic system paves the road to a variety of classic tones. Product Features - Maple neck The Maple neck provides stability and bright tonal character. - Jatoba fretboard Jatoba has a reddish brown color and produces a rich mid range with a crisp high end. - Medium frets Medium sized frets enhance the accuracy of your notes. - Poplar body Poplar used as body wood delivers a well-balanced tone with incredible thickness. - Dynamix PJ pickups Dynamix PJ pickups deliver clarity and fullness - B10 series bridge The B10 bridge allows fully adjustable intonation and solid tuning stability. Special Features - 30 inch scale Basses with a scale of 34” are known as ”long-scale”. It features a 30” scale which is commonly known as a ”short scale” bass. This is highly desirable for guitarists who sometimes double as bass players. (The shorter scale having a feel closer to that of an electric guitar.)

  • AWESOME BASS
Color: Black
This is an amazing value. I an Ibanez SR5000 and a Fender American 60s P Bass. Both are very expensive. I bought the TMB30 since it is a short scale and is $179. I just wanted this mainly to beat the hell out of it and not worry about dings, dents or damage if something happens to it. Plus its a short scale and i dont have one of those. Ibanez is known for there top notch quality and for $179 this bass is built with the quality of their high end basses. The fret ends are perfect, the setup was spot on, which for beginners is great cause you wont have to worry about a setup. You can just play it. The neck profile is a thicker C kind of like an older P bass C shape. Its very smooth and comfortable in your hands. Action was set just right. The neck was straight so no truss rod adjustment needed either. The sound is great too. The pickups are a little higher than i like so it plays hot right now. But the PJ pickups sound really great. The single coil J Bass pickup will have a little hum when you only use the J pickup, which is normal for a single coil. This is a short scale, but dont think of that as for beginners. Tyler Joseph plays a short scale bass on alot of songs. If you want a great playing bass for a low price this is for you. You can also get the long scale bass Ibanez makes - the TMB100 for i think $200. The TMB30 is outstanding and you will be glad you bought it when you are slapping the bass. So DO IT NOW...SLAP BUY NOW ... show more

  • It's and Ibanez..
Color: Black
Nice right out of the box..frets are dressed nice..pups are good..but I usually change them to EMGs on all my basses.. The only thing I don't like is the big radius on the neck..i have small hands...nice..but it's not my one of my favorites... Can't go wrong with an Ibanez.. The quality is usually very good.. Like they say.. You get what you pay for... I usually don't see any difference between $300 and $500..or $500 to $700..$700 to $1000 I always replace hardware if I don't like it anyway.. The most important thing I think is the feel of the guitar... I've taken $100.00 guitars and changed em up and made them scream.. ... show more

  • Good deal
Color: Black
For the money it's a very good deal. The strings could be better and the head stock looks kinda cheap. But it does the job.

  • Essentially unplayable
Color: Black
Unboxed the guitar and immediately realized it was in need of a set up bad. Used my tools but could not properly set it up. Took it to a more experienced Luthier and he told me it was junk. Couldn’t intonate it properly past the 12th fret and wouldn’t stay in tune after 5 minutes of play. You get what you pay for this is junk ... show more

  • Perhaps the best bass under $200
Color: Black
I've been playing for 46 years and currently own over 20 basses. I know good from bad. This is good, very good actually. My son wanted to learn bass and, due to his small hands, wanted a short scale. I ordered one of these and was really surprised by, 1) the quality of parts, 2) sound of the pickups, 3) the set-up, out of the box was pretty close to spot-on. The overall fit, finish and quality control is as good as most sub $700 instruments. Good job Ibanez! ... show more
