Combining vintage-inspired styling with immense sonic versatility, this bass offers an abundance of warm, timeless character and yet it is still able to meet your demands as a modern musician.

Dive fearlessly into a world of sensational sound, one that grants you the versatility you need to make it your own. A pair of Dynamix pickups provide all those vintage tonal qualities that promise a magical performance whilst innovative controls – 2-band EQ and balancer – let you sculpt your output immaculately. The Talman bass opens up the possibilities of new genres and sounds, so you’ll never be limited. And thanks to a stunning mint green finish, chrome hardware, and a tortoise-shell pickguard, excellence is shown in both sound and aesthetic.
Delicious Dynamix sound
Let waves of smooth vintage tones wash over you, and then switch to thundering rock capabilities in the blink of an eye. The TMB100 is loaded with a powerful pair of Dynamix bass pickups for truly wall-trembling sound. The combination of the punchy “P-style split coil bridge pickup and the mellow “J” single coil at the neck promises you an obscene level of versatility, so you can go from warm tones to heavier, rock tones whilst always retaining wondrous clarity.
Breath-taking beauty
Crafted from poplar, the body of this bass is sure to catch anyone’s eye. Not only is it sleek and stylish, but it is also wonderfully lightweight, meaning you’ll be able to play for hours without experiencing any dreaded shoulder strain. And that’s not all, you’ll also be able to explore a wide range of genres and playing styles. Poplar’s tone is a good all-rounder, granting you a high frequency response, sparkling highs, and warmer lows.
The body’s mint green finish is graced with a tortoise-shell pickguard and chrome hardware for a truly dazzling aesthetic. From headstock to bridge, quality craftsmanship is evident in both looks and durability, putting you in the presence of true excellence at an affordable price.
Flawless fretting, magical tone
The TMB100 features a silky-smooth maple neck that produces bright sound with plenty of twang and sustain. Its bolt-on construction also adds that highly desired snap for a crisp, articulate bass tone. Layered on top is a luscious jatoba fretboard. Slide from fret to fret at speed – every note will be seamless, and you’ll have the superb sound projection and clarity that come with jatoba.
