Ibanez built the TMB100BK as part of the Talman Bass series, positioning it as an entry-level four-string electric bass. The model carried the Talman name, a designation Ibanez applied to a line with a distinct aesthetic identity within its broader bass catalogue.
The TMB100BK was constructed with a poplar body and a maple neck finished with a jatoba fretboard bearing white dot inlays. Twenty medium frets were cut to a 34-inch scale (864mm), with a nut width of 41mm and a neck thickness of 21.5mm at the first fret tapering to 24.5mm at the twelfth. The 240mm radius fretboard and 19mm string spacing at the B10 bridge reflect a conventional modern bass geometry. Pickups consisted of a passive Dynamix P at the neck and a passive Dynamix J at the bridge, routed through an Ibanez Custom Electronics 2-band EQ. All hardware was finished in chrome. The instrument left the factory strung .045/.065/.085/.105 in standard E-A-D-G tuning.
Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the P/J pickup configuration and tune-o-matic-style string spacing are widely standardised formats; a qualified guitar technician or luthier can advise on compatible drop-in replacements and setup tolerances for this neck profile.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
