stuckinthepod Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) 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!

Pea Turgh Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I do like the look of those. So many basses, so little time!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsmokebass Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebenezer Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1946 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 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. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikki_Sixx Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
