Ibanez TMB100-BK Talman Bass Black

The Ibanez TMB100 Black – Where Vintage Vibes Meet Modern Mojo

So, you’re curious about the Ibanez TMB100 in black? Good taste. This bass doesn’t scream for attention — it smirks and lets the tone do the talking. Think vintage soul with a modern edge, all wrapped in a sleek, glossy black finish that looks like it means business (because it does).

Build & Aesthetic: Cool Without Trying

• Body: Made of poplar - it’s lightweight.

• Finish: Gloss black. Slick, stylish, and pairs perfectly with that classic tortoiseshell pickguard.

• Neck: Maple, bolt-on. Fast, smooth, and won’t fight you on quick runs.

• Fingerboard: Jatoba with dot inlays. It’s got that warm rosewood vibe without actually being rosewood. Looks good. Feels good. No complaints.

• Scale: 34 inches — standard long-scale. 

• Frets: 20 of them. Enough to get funky but not so many that it feels like a math problem.

Electronics & Hardware: Big Tone, Small Drama

• Pickups: It’s rocking a P/J setup — that’s a split-coil Precision-style pickup in the neck and a single-coil Jazz-style in the bridge.

• EQ: Active 2-band EQ lets you boost or cut bass and treble. Want more thump? Crank it. Want to slap like a maniac? Dial it in. Easy.

• Controls: Volume, pickup blend, and those sweet stacked EQ knobs. 

• Bridge: Ibanez B10 — simple, stable, does what it’s supposed to.

• Tuners: Chrome and unproblematic. You won’t be tuning every five minutes. Unless you’re into that.
