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

Never Ceases to Amaze

For the price the TMB100 is phenomenal. The first thing that struck me about it was its looks. Long story short, I wound up buying it on the spot off the wall at a big guitar shop after sitting & playing with it a couple of minutes - without even plugging it in. It still amazes me how Ibanez can make such a fine instrument so affordable. Back at my studio with a set of Rotosounds, the real surprise turned out to be the active pickups and electronics. I'm not a technical guy - I'll just say that with this bass I can sculpt any sound I want, from a Johnathan Bree-esque plucky lounge sound to a bold, singing Cocteau Twins sound, and really anything. There are dozens of Youtube videos about how great it is for gigging. For me, it's a dream in my studio. Ibanez was pretty clever designing it between a Precision and a Jazz bass, with everything active. I thought a Fender bridge cover might pretty it up, and it fit perfectly. I think this the perfect bass guitar for any musician on a budget looking for a studio or live bass.

Too Good To Be True Price! Excellent Bass!

When I was 16, I bought this bass and I'm happy to say this is my favorite bass of all time. I have 9 Basses, all of them more expensive, but this one has always been by my side and is great. I love the body shape and neck is really comfortable. Beginner or Pro, this Ibanez should be on your wish list.
Rated 5/5

It's a good solid performing bass.

I have had mine for several years now, purchased from Sweetwater. Joe Secu is my Sales Engineer and he's always on my side on any issues and I have been his client since 2015. Joe has always helped me, not once has he not come through for me when there is a problem. I recommend Joe very very highly.
Back to my Ibanez Talman Bass, it looks very nice with an attractive two tone finish and the fit and finish is as good as anything I have ever seen or played or owned -not bad for the Two Hundred Dollar price, in fact it's an incredible bargain! The hardware is very good quality as well.The fretwork is flawless too. I love the way it looks and I am a fan of the "offset" body style.
I currently have 3 electric bases and also a Double Bass and I enjoy this bass as much as my much more expensive instruments that I have owned in my life. It has a broad pallet of tones and I can find something to fit my mood so I recommend this bass to anyone who plays e-bass.
Music background: A few years studing music in college and also a few years studing violin with Nina Chemelov who was a Juliard School of Music Graduate and teacher. I play mostly stringed instruments and currently I am in a small band. I seem to be moving toward Jazz as I

Ibanez TMB 100 M

This is an amazing bass for the price its definitely a strong performer and very punchy.......Amazing sound quality. Anyone who buys this bass will be impressed. Also has a nice feel well balanced
Rated 5/5

Beginner and beyond

This bass is impressive. The sound is fat, and the feel is surprisingly good. This is the backup bass that squeezes its way between you and your high-end go-to bass. The only thing cheap about it is the price. When someone hears it, they like it, then you tell them the price and it shocks them.
