Ibanez TMB405TA Talman 5-String Bass – Cosmic Blue Starburst
Retro Style Meets Modern Versatility
The Ibanez TMB405TA blends the classic Talman silhouette with powerful, contemporary electronics to create a bass that thrives across multiple genres. Its unique combination of vintage-inspired aesthetics and modern performance features makes it an ideal choice for players who want bold looks, dependable hardware and exceptionally adaptable tone. Finished in a striking Cosmic Blue Starburst, this Talman model brings both flair and functionality to the stage.
Comfort, Stability and a Smooth Playing Feel
A roasted Maple neck offers increased stability and temperature resistance, making it well-suited for regular gigging and variable environments. Paired with a bound Rosewood fretboard, it delivers warm, balanced tone and a smooth, comfortable playing surface. Medium frets enhance accuracy, while the contoured Poplar body keeps the bass lightweight and resonant. The beautiful Tamo Ash top adds visual character without compromising tonal clarity.
Classic PJ Punch with Modern EQ Flexibility
The Dynamix PJ pickup set delivers a wide tonal spectrum – from deep, authoritative lows to clear midrange definition. Combined with Ibanez’s Custom Electronics 2-band EQ, bassists can easily sculpt both vintage and modern tones to suit rock, soul, pop, funk and more. A B15W bridge with 18 mm string spacing ensures strong tuning stability and comfortable fingerstyle or pick-style performance.
