Reflecting a classic Ibanez body style, the Talan bass series sports a cool retro look with a sound that will inspire players of all ages. Color: Tri Fade Burst. 4-string Electric Bass with Poplar Body.
I compared many, many P-style basses. I didn't care what cost or brand- just wanted a solid bass, easy to play with great sound. This Ibanez checked all the boxes - and then some. It has a great neck and very comfortable weight. The tone is well balanced across the frequencies. The pickups are passive, but the tone circuit is active and you can go from a deep thump to the brightest of slap with the twist of the knobs. After trying all the basses I kept going back to it because it made me want to play more - and I knew then - this was "The One". I held my breath and turned over the tag to see the price........$199. What? This has to be a mistake! No mistake. $199. It's true. This $199 bass beat other basses costing well over 5 times that amount ! But, ultimately, it's not about price. This bass makes you want to play it more - and that is the feel that experienced players look for in any instrument of any price.
