Hi Geoff, 

How old are these and how much use have they had? 

Cheers, 

Tobie

I used one for a while, before selling it on in favour of a small board with an MXR pre and a few drives. It was excellent, however, and great value IMO. Quite tempted to pick another one up, actually...

Any thoughts from owners of the above? 

Cheers, 

Tobie

Mine is an Ibanez Talman TMB100M.  It weighs exactly 8lbs and balances comfortably on a strap.

The fitting and finish is of a very high standard.  The frets are level with no sharp ends.  I have a low action without buzzing or rattles.  I think it could go a little lower but I'm happy where it is.  I haven't needed to adjust the truss rod, having only lowered the bridge saddles by two turns.

The hardware is doing its job as well as on any other bass I own although the tuners don't feel as refined as on more expensive basses - they work perfectly well though.

The pickups are rich and powerful and the active preamp needs tiny adjustments to be very effective.

This Talman range is fantastic value for the little money they cost.  I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Frank.

I second that, Frank. 

Definitely more from Yamaha and Ibanez. I'd also get Cort, Bass Collection and Vintage in there. I recommend all of these over Squier, to my students. Better components, better qc and far better value. IMO, of course. 

I just picked up a Vintera P yesterday and it's considerably better than the Classic 50s P that I owned for a while. Everything about the build is better and, in my (dubious) opinion, the seafoam green and gold pg combo is disgustingly delicious. 

Nothing new about it per se, but it's an improved take on a decent instrument in the 50s P. I needed a P and more than happy with the quality for the price. 

My god! 

God, I want this! It's seriously cool. Glwts

Sorry measured again and the spacing is around 17 18mm with a plastic ruler and the nut width is 49mm.

Also comes with a set of pre cut strings worth £25.00. 

Many thanks, Marc. I wish I could justify this, but I really need to be sensible! 

Cheers, 

Tobie

Hi Spyder, 

What's the string spacing at the bridge and the nut width on this? 

Cheers, 

Tobie

Hey man, well I’m out with Fu Fighters at the Fake Festivals this year and think we are in Bolton. We are in Stoke next weekend if that helps? Obviously I can send on a courier no bother. Got loads of boxes

Cheers Paul. Might be in touch. Just got another cab, but if it doesn't suit... 

Do you ever travel to Manchester, Paul? 

Cheers, 

Tobie

What's the weight of this, stingrayPete? 

Cheers, 

Tobie

Sold? 

SOLD. Cheers Tony. 

Hi Kev. What's the configuration? 

ON HOLD

I can't give this away! 

My God! 

Silly price now, as I want this out of the way.  I'll take £200 collected from Manchester, or £220 standard second.  No offers, thanks. 

Cheers, 

Tobie
