We’re Talman ’Bout Bass!
Ibanez set out to create a merger of classic looks, classic tones, and modern performance with its Talman TMB420B bass. We are happy to report that Ibanez has achieved their goal. This well-priced bass guitar doesn’t skimp on stellar sound, thanks to a combination of Dynamix P and J pickups. Here, you’ll find those classic tones from days gone by and new ones ready and waiting. The body of the Talman is made of resonant okoume, setting it up for a strong tonal foundation of balanced brightness. A bolt-on roasted maple neck reels in your fretting hand while it comfortably transverses the sustain-heavy ebonol fingerboard. See what the fuss is all about with the Ibanez TMB420B bass — or, better yet, grab one and feel it for yourself!
Big tone from Dynamix P/J pickups
Take a dive into those classic tones and discover the versatility that dueling P- and J-style pickups can bring to a bass guitar. Ibanez outfitted the Talman Standard with a duo of Dynamix pickups, making it an instant classic with tones that reach back to some of history's most famous bass players. From fat, thumping rock tones to soft, mid-rich R&B and jazz lines, the Talman has a wide range of sonic territory to explore. The Ibanez custom 2-band EQ and balancer knob round out the sonic possibilities and put the power in your hands.
Classic character and eye-catching aesthetics
The Talman TMB420B bass wins style points in our book with its thin-waisted body, eye-grabbing hardware, and oversized tuning keys. The Talman's classic good looks and modern sleekness make it a breezy fit for most stage shows and studio sessions, while its diverse tone-crafting tools ensure your performances go off without a hitch. Lastly, classic fingerboard inlays up the ante for exceptional visual appeal, sprawling the 20 frets that dot its 34-inch scale.
