Ibanez TMB30 Black Talman Short Scale Bass Guitar

Due to the shorter neck, this Ibanez TMB30-BK bass guitar in moody black is a lot easier to play than its full scale counterparts. A great bass to start with, especially for guitarists who want to move to the lower regions. Due to the lower tension of the strings, the sound of a short scale bass guitar tends towards that of an upright double bass. Wonderfully mellow and nicely rumbling with more emphasis on the mids. Very suitable for sixties soul, R&B, rockabilly and surf music.

Sophisticated construction The body of the TMB30-BK is made entirely of mahogany. An excellent choice for a short scale bass guitar. Mahogany gives the basic sound a nice full body. Maple wood has been used for the neck, which contributes to the high tones. Finally, the rosewood fingerboard adds warm overtones to the overall sound.

As you have come to expect from Ibanez, this affordable Talman is also equipped with rock-solid hardware and is professionally finished. Matching elements Ibanez may be known for its high-output powerhouses, but the company also knows when to slow down. That's why this TMB30-BK is equipped with a traditional PJ pickup configuration in the form of an Ibanez DXP pickup at the neck and a DXJ pickup at the bridge.

Both have a vintage output that fits well with the loose sound of this short scale Talman. Are you looking for an affordable short scale bass guitar? Are you making the switch from guitar to bass or are you a novice bass player? In all those cases, this TMB30-BK is an excellent candidate.
