Ibanez TMB100-MGR Talman Bass

nice one

despite a bit dull sound this is a very good bass. to completely adore it i had to change the pickups and knobs

Excellent product for the price

This is my first experience with bass . but this product looks and sounds excellent for the price

Amazing bass for great price

Don't think anyone can find a better bass guitar in this price range. The vintage green mint color is an eye catcher. Finishing is surprisingly great.

I like to use the the trebble EQ and cut some of the high end to get a nice warm sound.

There was some fret buzz which was gone after some small adjustments.

Overall, it's an amazing, beautiful bass for what you pay. Would reccomend it to anyone.

Great Begineers Bass

After getting a bit more into funk, I've decided to buy a bass. The TMB100 was quite an automatic choice since its nearly rude not to buy an active bass at this price.

This BASS is a pleasure to look at as the Mint Green is an eye catcher. Came setup straight away so all I had to do was plug it into a BASS amp, and its magic. Its very playable, and I'm already getting some practice momentum. Minor deficiences with this bass as I had to shield it since a small hum was coming out of the amp when IM not touching any of its metals. Otherwise, its a great guitar!

Great active budget bass

I've been playing on this bass for a couple of months now and it has never let me down. The bass has an active EQ with the battery already included. I've put some flatwounds on it which really go well with the sound.

The bass is quite heavy, playing while standing up requires a good strap and some back-strenght, after about 30 minutes or so this becomes a problem for me.

The feel and finish is what you get for the price, some rought edges around the pickups and the battery, but this doesn't affect your playing in any way. The finish on the fretboard on the other hand is of a very good quality. The frets are nice to play on and feel like they are on par with a basses with a much higher price range.

Overall you can't really go south with this bass. Because of the active EQ the sound is versatile and full, with the extra bonus of p and j pickups. If you are starting out this is a great first bass!

Such a cool bass

I am playing the piano for many years and this was my first bass and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! It’s appearance was really something else. It’s so much more impressive than it look on the photos. For the sound I can’t tell you much as I am a very beginner but compared to another bass of the same price I had tried this one had much more clear and beautiful sound.

Nice one

Used bass at home . The instrument has a nice look and heavy sound , especially with all the knobs turned on . Had a few issues with set up , but overall it's very good for it's price.

I'm in love

For the pricepoint this bass comes in at it's a definite steal. The arrival of the package was quick and it was in perfect condition coming straight out of the box, I didn't need to set its truss rod or fix intonation just a quick tune up and she was ready to go. This is an extremely comfortable bass, it's not too heavy the medium scale frets make it for quick playing without extreme stretches, It has become my go to, the sound is extremely versatile having a volume and different tone nobs, you can go from a very nice boomy bass sound to a very twangy trebly sound. Overall it is a joy to play, it looks great it feels fantastic its easy to play and very versatile.

Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good cheap bass to take to gigs and/or recording sessions.

If you are not used to playing an active instrument, I would suggest keeping a spare battery and screwdriver in your gig bag/with your pedalboard/in your hard case just because this (having been my first active instrument) has caught me by surprise just once or twice having stopped on me mid rehearsal.

Fantastic bass!

This is great bass for the money. It's quite hard to fault!

Playability:

This bass plays very well. It came set up and in tune out if the box! It's very balanced when both sitting and standing. Great access to the upper frets. And while a full scale bass, the neck doesn't feel super long on the lower frets.

Sound:

Can't fault the sound. Sounds like a good p-bass on the neck position and a nice bright jazz bass on the bridge. Bass and treble boost and cut sound good and make the bass super versatile and applicable to a lot of situations.

Overall:

This is my first bass, though I've played many of my friends great basses over the years, and this is a stunning bass. I use it for tracking demos in my studio so I don't know how it might hold up on the stage but it's great to throw around I'm the studio. Great to play and listen to. Really fun to play, and I can't seem to put it down when it looks so cool! As I said, at this price you can't really fault it, highly recommend it!
