Talman: Ibanez's Retro Spirit Designed for Today's Stage
With the Talman series, Ibanez brings back lines inspired by classic "offset" instruments while maintaining a design focused on modern efficiency. The TMB405TA-CBS embodies this philosophy: a bold aesthetic, robust construction, and simple-to-use electronics, making it an instrument ready to withstand rehearsals, concerts, and studio sessions.
For Which Bassists and Styles?
This bass is aimed at ambitious beginners as well as intermediate players looking to move up to 5 strings without complications. Its extended range is particularly suited to styles where the low end is central: modern rock, pop, funk, metal, gospel, RnB, and contemporary music. The playability remains accessible, and the versatility of the P/J configuration helps find your place in any mix.
Sound
The poplar body provides a pleasant balance, with a fairly even response and good resonance, while the maple neck promotes attack and precision. The jatoba fingerboard adds warmth and density in the mids, useful for maintaining body even in low tunings.
On the electronics side, the TMB405TA-CBS opts for a straightforward approach: Dynamix J (neck) and Dynamix P (bridge) pickups with a passive circuit. The volume, tone, and pickup balance controls allow easy shaping of the character: round and mellow for grooves, or sharper and more defined for lines that cut through the band. The 34" / 864 mm scale length also helps maintain tension and clarity on the 5th string.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the best out of this long-scale 5-string, prioritize a 5-string bass string set for long scale 34" / 864 mm, suited to your playing style (softer for comfort, tighter for a firm attack and clear low B).
