IbanezTMB30 Talman Electric Bass Guitar - Black
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Compact in feel, the right-handed TMB30 Talman is a 30-inch-scale electric bass built around a poplar body, maple neck, and jatoba fingerboard. Its Dynamix P/J pickup layout gives you two distinct pickup voices to blend from the instrument, using separate neck and bridge volume knobs and a master tone control. The reduced scale length is designed to lessen reach and string tension, which makes it a practical choice for home practice, rehearsals, and smaller-stage work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Working through bass parts at home with a shorter 30-inch scale and straightforward pickup controls.
- Blending neck and bridge pickup voices quickly during rehearsal or a small-stage set.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this model is specified as right handed.
