Ibanez TMB100 - Mint Green

I got the talman tmb100 in tfb in the mail yesterday... It was set up nice and intonation was perfect.. I raised the action by taking out the truss just an 1/8 of a turn and wow this thing rocks... the pickups are a little weak. mainly the jazz pickup it has lower output than the P pickup but works well in the blend middle setting I did a sound test video... the body is a three piece mahogany and looks good with the grain all going the same way in the tfb.... and I love the tort pickguard!!! the neck is nice and chunky and comfortable not a thin weird neck like on some basses... the strings are a good quality taperwound I think they are elixir I don't know if there coated tho... Nice bass, my other bass a Ibanez btb 6 string. I own a 3/4 double bass also but I was looking to fill my void of I nice 4 string with a low price tag and I found it!!!

This is really a great bass, especially for the price. The tone is amazing, the neck is fast, the pickups are great. Can you get a better bass guitar? Sure you can. Can you get a better bass at this price? No. I don't think you can. You can get a Squier Affinity for an extra $40-$50, but the quality on those is nowhere near what you get on this Talman. It's a joy to play and it sounds awesome. If you're looking for a bass in the <$300 range, you can't beat this instrument

Sounds great, feels great, and looks great. Good for beginners but honestly any four string bass is, it just depends on how much you wanna spend and this was a reasonable price. The only thing I think is IMPORTANT to include in this items description is that the neck is not the same color on the picture. That’s a pretty big deal, but luckily I ended up liking the lighter neck more so wasn’t a big deal for me but I can see how it would for others.

Excellent choice for beginners and pros alike. Light weight and full scale. Best comparison would be a Squire Jazz Bass, with the quality of an Ibanez. I'm a huge fan of Ibanez bass guitars and have been playing on them since the 90's, and this is by far my favorite. Can't beat that price for what you get! Sounds great and looks good doing it!

Holy crap! This is a HUGE bargain! The sound on this is amazing and the craftsmanship is definitely worth more than <$200. My other bass is a USA Fender and I’m enjoying this one more. Check YouTube reviews to see if this is for you. The seller packed this like a champ and was totally ready to just tune up and slap away.

I have just started playing bass after a few years of Guitar and Ukulele. While I personally don't have another bass to compare it to, I will say that it feels smooth. The pickups are great to "hook" onto while fingering and it sounds great! I love the design of the headstock and I love the fans (though I know those are just standard on bass). The color is absolutely fantastic and overall it's my favorite instrument to play!

I'm new to the bass and still so far have sort of a casual attitude about it compared to the guitar, so there's not much I can say comparing it to anything else or to the expectations of an experienced or serious bassist. But I do very much enjoy this thing. Sounds fine to me, feels fine, looks all right (the teal is not quite as vibrant in person as I imagined but I still like it). Just a couple of construction issues similar to ones I've seen in other reviews. The tone knob (which is two-in-one, an outer ring around an inner knob that each turn independently) has already begun to have the problem with the outer ring, it sort of comes detached and you can feel that it's loose and doesn't take effect, and I have to fiddle with it to get it to reengage with whatever internal part is is supposed to control, but it gives a feeling like doing so might be causing more damage. I'm worried it will soon fail entirely and I'll be stuck with a certain tone. Also, one of the screws holding on the cover for the 9V battery compartment in the back (for the active pickups) was stripped right out of the box. Fortunately the battery fits snugly so I just don't even use the cover. EDIT: Turns out guitars are not supposed to have neck dive. This one does. If I don't support it with my hands while having it hang on me with the strap, the neck dives towards the floor. It has become a problem, I am dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome and the extra muscling I need to perform with my left hand/arm to keep the thing in a playable position is probably part of the problem.

This bass is fantastic for the price range. The active Bass/Terrible boost/cut feature is great. Also there is a knob to blend the P-bass and Jazz Bass pickups. You can make this sound like 10 different basses with the combinations of the knobs making this a very versatile bass. I got stuck playing Jane's Addiction - Three days for hours. 50/50 blend of the pickups and the Terrible boost at 3 O'clock got the perfect sound for that song.

C’est bon, mais malheureusement un peu endommagé c’est dommage.

A brilliant bass guitar, plays really well and sounds great. Well crafted and comfortable to play installed j-pickups are adequate for sound quality.
