The headstock shape and 4 control layout with jack on the side makes it look like some form of Atelier Z like attached or linked: https://www.ikebe-gakki.com/Form/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?shop=0&pid=794063&bid=ec
Not sure though.
The talman is amazing value for the money. I play it more than most of my basses. I upgraded it too with Aguilar. Not a small job but made a massive tone difference.
Dont forget the EHB range for short scales too. I had the 1505sms and only sold to fund another more expensive bass. Great basses. I played them both with low B and high V. I'd you can find used they are great value too.
I've been extremely skeptical since it was first announced and how slow the information being shared was. Then when we got more detail the organisation on the day didn't seem to have any logic of clarity to it. Plus the shocking use of poor quality logos in the website just added to how unprofessional this was looking.
The informal bass bashes organised by people voluntarily on here seem to have more thought into things.

He's got a handful of gigs coming up including this one in Manchester which is a jam too.
I missed one recently in London right next to my office on a day I was in...so sharing this so more people know about it.
Yes. I also mentioned in my posts but I like taking it from brighter to darker. So it goes through majors to minors then augmented. This allows the ear to hear the relative changes between them too a bit easier.
I have a copy. Well a copy of a copy. Back when I was studying at a Conservatoire me and a fellow mature student got VERY into it. It gets pretty heavy pretty quick, but if you're into that sort of thing...
Tell me about it. Preference would be to never sell it but I can't justify it with the other bass I want.
B string has good tension on it and very playable. Good sound across length of neck. I have action fairly low too.
