Classic short scale punch with modern comfort and vintage tone.

Display model , boxed and in  excellent condition with very minor signs of use as expected with black gloss. 

The Talman series has always represented a slight departure for Ibanez, with recognisable features and tones from the vintage era of guitar design. This  model goes one step further by offering a 30" scale neck for a 60's vibe.

Fitted with a 60's style 30" scale neck

Following in the tradition of the 6-string bass of the 60’s, this bolt-on neck promises comfortable playability with its 30” short scale for beginners and even electric guitar players. Included as well is the Ibanez DXP neck pickup and DXJ bridge pickup which offer a rich and vintage tone.

Short Scale
With just 30" of space between the bridge and the nut, this bass is a lot smaller than some. This makes it much easier to play not only for beginners, but also for pros who may want to take advantage of a smaller neck for long stretches.

It also makes a slight difference to the tone of the bass as well. As you have less tension on the strings, your tone gets a lot more of a throaty midrange that can cut through the mix like a dream.

Comfortable Build
While the Talman may not be a conventional bass shape, neither really fitting in to traditional or modern stylings, it has still been carefully designed for comfort. Made from Poplar, the body has a bit of weight to it but adds a lot of low end thump to the sound. The Maple neck, adorned with a Jatoba fretboard, adds a bit of snap to your tone keeping the balance in check.

Versatile Electronics
Simplicity is key to the setup here. While Ibanez are known for their very powerful active setups, they also know when they need to tone it down. So the TMB30 has a very simple P/J pickup configuration from Ibanez's selection of Dynamix pickups. These were designed after classic passive electronics from the 60s and 70s, that helped give the first short scale basses their signature sound.
