Description

Ibanez built the TMB100IV as part of the Talman Bass series, positioning it as an entry-level to mid-range four-string electric bass. The model carried forward the Talman line's emphasis on a practical, player-focused platform with a passive electronics configuration.

The body is poplar, paired with a maple neck and a jatoba fretboard bearing white dot inlays across 20 medium frets. The 34-inch scale runs at 864mm, and the nut width measures 41mm, tapering from 21.5mm thickness at the first fret to 24.5mm at the twelfth. Fretboard radius is 240mmR. Pickup complement consists of a Dynamix P-style neck pickup and a Dynamix J-style bridge pickup, both passive, governed by Ibanez's Custom Electronics 2-band EQ. The B10 bridge holds a 19mm string spacing and is finished in chrome, matching the remaining hardware. Factory stringing is standard EADG tuning with a .045–.105 gauge set.

Owners seeking replacement pickups, bridge saddles, or nut work should consult a qualified guitar technician, who can confirm exact fit against the instrument's measured dimensions before sourcing parts.

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.

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.

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.
