Get to know them!

Step up to the great retro looks and exciting tones of the Ibanez TMB605 Talman Bass, with its warm and punchy ash body and solid-playing maple neck with bound jatoba fretboard. A pair of Carey Nordstrand-licensed pickups gives the Talman Bass classic American tones on steroids, with a J-style bridge pickup for smooth and woody lead work and a split P-style neck pickup for meaty picked tones and powerful low end. Custom electronics with a bypassable 2-band EQ give the Talman further sound-shaping potential. Sweetwater bassists stand behind the Ibanez TMB605 Talman Bass for its great looks and pioneering tones at an intermediate price.

Carey Nordstrand CND pickups bring modern guts to classic American tones

Offset bi-pole Nordstrand CND pickups give the Talman Bass exciting new tones for modern rock, pop, and metal. Roll back to the J-style bridge pickup for mid-rich R&B and jazz lines to aggressive distortion tones, or bump up to the P-style neck pickup for gutsy rock picking and fat thumping bass. The Talman's CND pickups give you a wide range of sonic territory to explore.

Custom electronics and 2-band EQ for sonic versatility

Once you've got your basic tone dialed in, use the Talman's 2-band EQ to carve out your space in the mix. The Talman makes it quick to dial in a suitable sound for just about any musical role in seconds. And when you need pure tone, bypass the EQ with the flip of a switch.

Striking retro looks

The Talman wins style points in Sweetwater's book with its thin-waisted body, bound fingerboard, chrome hardware, oversized tuning knobs, and retro red tortoiseshell pickguard. Guaranteed to turn heads.
