TMB30-BK Talman Short Scale : Brilliant starter Bass

4 years ago

I researched about this, but settled after a few YouTube reviews and weighing up full size versus this Short scale Bass.

I was trying to re-create the sound of British Rock Band Royal Bloods Mike Kerr, and this Short Scale Bass is perfect (he only play short scale)... I play and record at home... I didn't want to spend over £200...

Easy to handle, light, high quality instrument setup and ready to go out of the box.

PROs:

Great Size, Lovely Quality, Setup and Packaged Well

Customer Service excellent, originally went for a full size Bass then changed it to this, came via DHL in 4 days to the UK. Great tone and simple controls - noise and hum free...

CONs:

Nothing I can see or hear - tuners work great, some low string buzz but needs more setup perhaps... but still brilliant out of the gate.

No Strap or Cable with it.... small toolkit only and manual.

Great looking and sounding machine, and yes with a few pedals sounds exactly like Royal Blood... I'm hooked.. RECOMMENDED for starter to intermediate players...
