MarshallBTB Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Anyone else really tempted by one of these?! Looks like a steal for the money... https://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_tmb505_mg.htm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Looks lovely - great colour and you can’t go wrong with roasted maple. Such an awkward looking headstock though. Smaller tuners would be more visually balanced, methinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealting Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 5 string, roasted maple, Nordstrands, for under £500? That’s ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 That's pretty incredible value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfalex v1.1 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Shame there's only one colour choice, other than that minor gripe, it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_S Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I reckon that'd look great in dark metallic purple. Pearl guard, chrome hardware... and purple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Oh look.. there is something I can't justify getting just at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Hmmm that's nice! Interesting to see them putting more premium features in this range. Will be interesting to see how these go, the appeal of these seems to be the low price and how well they do for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshallBTB Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Yeah, I'm really tempted. I tried to get a TMB605 a while back, but when I did find one 'in stock' online it turned out to be listed incorrectly. Going to wait and see if the reviews of this are any good as I still really like the look of these as a 5 string. Seems pretty positive so far!

Seems pretty positive so far! i also tried to get a tmb605 a while ago, even got a couple of shops to contact Ibanez directly but no joy. i am moving towards short scale basses now, have the TMB35 in my sights. https://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-dept/bass-guitars/5-string-basses/ibanez-tmb35-mgr-bass-guitar-in-mint-green i really like the mint green as well (it's my favourite of the Talman colours) matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkle Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I picked up a TMB105 instead. Not sure if it is getting kept yet....wait and see....but it sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skej21 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Maybe it’s worth noting that Ibanez is only distributed in the UK (by Headstock Distribution) and they only import certain models that Ibanez release in to the UK, so you always find differences between what Ibanez promote and what is available in the UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarence Jones Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I just purchased one from zZounds with an E.T.A.for today so I will be giving my opinion shortly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
