Retro Bass Value from Ibanez

Step up to a value-packed retro-style bass guitar, with the Ibanez TMB-100 Talman Bass! Expect powerful, punchy tone from the poplar body and maple neck, while the jatoba fingerboard with 20 medium frets gives you a solid playing platform. Bass players at Sweetwater know how important tonal versatility is, and you'll be impressed with the TMB-100 Talman Bass' pair of DXP and DXJ pickups. Custom electronics with 2-band EQ give you even more sound-shaping potential. Whether you're searching for an easy-playing first bass or just a great deal, you'll find it in the Ibanez TMB-100 Talman Bass.

Big tone from DXP and DXJ pickups

The Dynamix P and Dynamix J pickups on the Ibanez TMB-100 Talman Bass are designed to bring you the vibe of the most famous electric bass guitars in history. From the fat, thumping rock tones to soft, mid-rich R&B tones, you've got a wide sonic territory to explore with the TMB-100 Talman Bass.

Custom electronics and 2-band EQ for sonic versatility

Once you've got your basic tone dialed in with the TMB-100 Talman Bass, use the 2-band EQ to help cement your place in the mix. Once you play with it for a bit, you'll be able to tweak the tone of the TMB-100 Talman Bass for any musical role in seconds.

Cool retro looks

On top of the cool design and finish, the Ibanez TMB-100 Talman Bass sports a chrome bridge and tuners, and acrylic block inlays for some extra style. Speaking of style, you can't beat the look of that tortoiseshell pickguard when it comes to vintage mojo!

Rated 5/5

Hard to top, even for twice the price.

I've had 3. All mine were earlier when Ibanez used mahogany rather than poplar for the body. The neck is great, a bit thicker than a Jazz and I had to hit the back of it with 0000 steel wool but that's all I ever had to do to them. The pickups are hot, the EQ is versatile. Stable tuning and smooth frets. Need a wide strap because they are a little neck heavy. But they're fantastic instruments.

Ibanez Bass

I am not a regular bass player. But needed a bass for some songs in a new group I am playing in. Checked around and read some reviews and decided to go with this Ibanez Bass. I am not disappointed at all. Didn't want to spend a lot on money but still get something that deliver quality sound and made well. I hit the jackpot with this one
Rated 5/5

Great Beginner Bass

Bought this as my first bass about six months ago, and have played it nearly every day since then! It hasn't been too long yet, but I've had no complaints so far. It shipped decently set up, the only change I made was to slightly lower the pickups. It sounds great and the active EQ works well.

Ibanez tmb100

The Ibanez tmb100 is a awesome bass for the price..I"ve been playing bass for 36 years in every thing from punk, heavy metal,to blues.. this bass has what it takes to get the job done.. I play through a ampeg 100 watt head with a two 15 speakers .. and the preamps are amazing..it"s one of the few basses that you can really tell the difference.. I bought a Mitchell mb300 and was disappointed..but this Ibanez tmb100 is the best bass in this price range hands down..
