Ibanez five-string E-Bass in Talman design
With the Ibanez Talman Bass TMB105-BK Black, the Japanese company presents a five-string E-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 individually adjusted using the active 2-band tone control.
The Ibanez Talman Bass TMB105 has a unique design and delivers a variety of sounds.
The bolt-on maple neck with the "TMB5" profile offers a high level of playing comfort.
Classic construction with Talman design
For the Ibanez Talman Bass, the bass makers at Ibanez have opted for a classic combination of poplar body and bolt-on maple neck, which promise a warm primary tone with a powerful low-end and crisp Attack. The strong "TMB5" neck profile nestles comfortably against the hand while playing, while the Jatoba fingerboard with 45 mm nut width offers sufficient space for clean fingerings between the 20 medium frets.
Ibanez Dynamix P and Dynamix J pickups together with the active 2-band tone control provide a variable bass sound.
Classic sound variety
The Ibanez Talman Bass TMB105-BK Black uses passive Ibanez Dynamix pickups for the electric sound conversion, which cover a broad spectrum of classic sounds. The Ibanez Dynamix P split coil in the middle position delivers a merciless rock sound that pushes every groove through the band sound with an aggressive growl in the low mids, while the Dynamix J single coil on 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 adjustment.
this 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.
