Talman: the return of an iconic Ibanez design

The Talman series brings back a historic Ibanez silhouette, appreciated for its retro look and balanced playability. The TMB30 follows this philosophy of "vintage in spirit, versatile in practice": a simple, effective bass designed to cover multiple styles without complicating playability.

Who is it for, and for which styles?

With its short 30" / 762 mm scale and comfortable bolt-on neck, the TMB30 primarily targets beginners, guitarists looking to approach the bass, and musicians seeking an easy-to-play 4-string for long sessions. It suits pop, rock, indie, old-school funk styles, and contexts where a vintage tone is desired while retaining enough attack to cut through a modern mix.

Sound

The TMB30 relies on a timeless recipe: a poplar body that promotes a balanced and responsive output, and a P/J pickup configuration that allows switching from a round to a more incisive sound. The Ibanez Dynamix P neck pickup delivers full lows and rich mids, perfect for laying down a solid foundation. The Dynamix J bridge pickup adds definition and articulation, useful for more dynamic parts and pick nuances. The passive electronics with 2 volume controls and 1 tone control enable quick blending of pickups and shifting from a warm, mellow tone to a more open sound.
