Ibanez Talman range.  Available for under £150.00 brand new.

I've just bought a Talman TMB100M from Tom1946 and, after lowering the action a little to suit my playing style, it's a superb bass.  I gigged it on Saturday night.  It's up there with my US Fenders for sound and playability.   The hardware, woods and assembly are good enough to gig this bass for life.

I wish I'd owned a Talman when I was starting out on bass.

Frank.

What is the weight like? As a "mature" beginner that is important to me 🙂

Hi I've been looking at Ibanez basses.  Which model do you have?

Hello.  I have just come across this forum.  I'm an amateur guitarist (played for about 50 years on and off) and I've just started to learn bass guitar.  I'm looking forward to learning from this site.  I have a cheap Squier Jazz bass and a Tanglewood acoustic that I bought about 10 years ago and has been hanging on my wall for most of that time. 

I'm based about 15 miles from Cambridge.
