Ibanez TMB100L-BK Talman Left Handed Bass Black

Ibanez TMB100L Black — The Bold Lefty Budget Bass

So, you're checking out the TMB100L, the left-handed version of the Ibanez Talman series. Dressed in black, built to hustle, and priced to move — this one’s aimed straight at players who want looks, tone options, and don’t feel like selling a kidney for a decent bass.

The Look

Straight up — it looks great. Glossy black finish with a tort-style pickguard? Yes please. It’s got a chunky, offset retro body that stands out in a lineup of typical P- and J-style clones. It’s got attitude without screaming for attention. Low-key killer.

Specs That Matter

What It Does Well

• Versatility: Thanks to the PJ setup and active EQ, this thing covers a lot of sonic ground. Funk? Check. Rock? Sure. Laid-back soul grooves? Done.

• Great bang for the buck: For the price, it offers solid construction, wide tone options, and some serious vibe.

• Comfortable neck: The Talman neck is slim enough for quick playing but still feels sturdy.

• Left-handed and proud: Finally, a lefty option that isn’t either wildly expensive or boring to look at.
