NBD Ibanez Talman TBM100

[stuckinthepod]

Popped in to Dawson Altrincham to see if I could find a flight case for my Portaflex. This branch is unfortunately one of the ones closing down, which is a real shame as the staff in there have always been really nice and helpful.

Wandering round I spied this. Never seen one before but picked it up for a go. Great chunky neck, great hardware- sounded good and a great bass platform to mod on.  I think I'm going to give it a go at practice first before modding, as the pickups sound really quite good. Super buy for £130!!

I've just joined a new band (punky/Rocky/Garage type sounds) and figured this would look great on stage, maybe a leopard print strap etc.

Whaddya reckon. My wife hates it!

I do like the look of those.  So many basses, so little time!!!

Haha I can think of a few different stores they could close although I never went to the Alt' store 😜😂

The Talman series don't seem bad little basses, nothing I'd drop what's in my collection for though. I hope you enjoy it

For the money, great basses!.....tried one in pmt music and apart from a few niggles (dual concentric knob installed incorrectly ) played and felt great.

Yes I bought the yellow maple one, was £199 though but as said it's a great bass for the money.

Must play it sometime.

That looks great and what a bargain too.  How is the weight generally on the Talman basses?

I fancy the mint green one with maple fretboard.  Very retro looking.

These look great, I really wanted to track one down when I was shopping for a new bass without any luck. For £130 it's an absolute steal! Was it reduced because the store is closing?

Leopard strap is definitely needed for this!
