Ibanez TMB35 Talman 5 String Electric Bass Guitar, Mint Green

​

Step up to a value-packed electric bass guitar: the Ibanez Talman Standard TMB35. The MB35 delivers powerful, punchy tone from its poplar body and solid playability from its maple neck and jatoba fingerboard. Dynamix P/J style pickups give the Talman Bass impressive tonal versatility, with a split-coil neck pickup for fat, punchy fundamental and a single-coil bridge pickup for enhanced midrange growl. 

 

 

The Talman’s Dynamix P and J pickups bring you the sound of some of the most famous bass players in history. From fat, thumping rock tones to soft, mid-rich R&B and jazz lines, the Talman gives you a wide range of sonic territory to explore.

 

The Talman wins style points in Sweetwater’s book with its comfortable offset-waist body, rakish pickguard shape, chrome hardware, and oversized tuning knobs. Rocking classic good looks and modern sleekness, the Talman looks great on any stage.

 

Ibanez began its life in 1908 as the Hoshino Gakki company in Nagoya, Japan. However, the company didn’t get into the guitar business until 1929, when they started importing Salvador Ibanez guitars from Spain. In 1935, Hoshino Gakki began building Spanish acoustic guitars under the “Ibanez Salvador” name, which was later shortened to “Ibanez.” Although Ibanez began manufacturing electric guitars in 1957, the company was relatively unknown in the West until the 1960s, when they started producing guitars based on American designs.

 

By the late 1970s, Ibanez had stopped producing derivative instruments and had begun manufacturing the innovative original guitar and bass designs that the company is now known for.
