Ibanez Talman Basses for Recording (TMB)

In the studio, a bass that gives you options saves time. The Ibanez Talman TMB series uses P/J style pickups, which means you can dial in a rounded, vintage-leaning tone with the split-coil or bring in the bridge pickup for more definition. That range makes it easy to fit the bass into different genres and arrangements without swapping instruments.

The TMB100 and TMB105 Standards are practical, affordable tracking basses for home setups. The TMB300 and TMB400 bring active EQ, so you can shape low end and top end at the instrument before it hits your interface or DI. The TMB405TA follows the active route, and the Talman Prestige TMB2000 is the step-up option for producers who want a flagship bass in the rack of tools.

Producers working in rock, indie, pop and punk will find the offset character useful for adding a bit of personality to a mix. Studio Gears lists the current Talman selection in the grid below, so you can see what is available for your next session.
