An Instant Ibanez Classic

Ibanez set out to create a merger of classic looks, classic tones, and modern performance with their Talman Bass Standard. Sweetwater is happy to report that Ibanez has achieved their goal. This well-priced bass guitar doesn’t skimp on stellar sound, thanks to a combination of Dynamix P and J pickups. Here, you’ll find those classic tones from days gone by and new ones ready and waiting. The body of the Talman Standard is made of poplar, setting it up for a strong tonal foundation, while an ash top adds a little extra charm and dimension. A bolt-on roasted maple neck reels in your fretting hand while it comfortably transverses the rich rosewood fingerboard. See what the fuss is all about with the Ibanez Talman Bass Standard.

Big tone from Dynamix P/J pickups

Take a dive into those classic tones and discover the versatility that dueling P- and J-style pickups can bring to a bass guitar. Ibanez outfitted the Talman Standard with a duo of Dynamix pickups, making it an instant classic with tones that reach back to some of history's most famous bass players. From fat, thumping rock tones to soft, mid-rich R&B and jazz lines, the Talman has a wide range of sonic territory to explore. The Ibanez custom 2-band EQ and balancer knob round out the sonic possibilities and put the power in your hands.

Classic good looks

The Talman Bass Standard wins style points in Sweetwater's book with its thin-waisted body, eye-grabbing hardware, and oversized tuning keys. The Talman's classic good looks and modern sleekness make it a good fit for most stage shows. This Talman rendition benefits from the added charm of its Tamo ash top that shines through its finish. Lastly, classic fingerboard inlays up the ante for exceptional visual appeal.

Ibanez Talman Bass Standard Features:

  • Tamo ash top over a poplar body
  • Comfortable body shape with a classy design
  • Bolt-on roasted maple neck for fretting comfort
  • Rich rosewood fingerboard with 20 medium frets
  • Eye-catching fingerboard inlays, high-quality hardware, and oversized tuning keys add visual charm

Reviews

A Joy to Play!

Just received this Ibanez Talman Bass a few days ago and played it for the first time last night. Wow! I am really impressed with the playability of the Ibanez: the flatter fretboard, slim radius and that smooth roasted Maple neck all contribute to a superior playing experience. Love the active electronics Still messing around to get the exact sound I like but love having that extra EQ capability. In addition to that it looks terrific and those big white block inlays not only look great, they make it so much easier to see where I am on the neck.


Thanks to my sales engineer, Matt Masek, for getting this sent out so quickly, and yes- I waited the obligatory 24 hours before opening the carton as advised to give the instrument time to acclimate. I wanted to also say thanks to the inspection team. Great job on the 55-point inspection! It even was still in tune! It's included services like that which really make Sweetwater the best place to buy a stringed instrument.

Loving the bass. It came as described and was read to thump. Justin and the Sweetwater team were extremely knowledgable and provided a very enjoyable experience before and after the bass arrived.

I greatly appreciate the customer service and their genuine interest in making sure I was happy with the purchase. Thank you Sweetwater!
