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.

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 versatilityOnce 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.
