Description

Ibanez produced the TMB100LBK as part of the Talman Bass series, positioning it as a passive four-string electric bass built around a poplar body with a maple neck. The model carried the SKU suffix LBK, denoting a Black finish, and sat within the entry-level tier of the Talman Bass line.

The neck follows the TMB4 profile and carries a Jatoba fretboard with white dot inlays across 20 medium frets. Nut width measures 41mm, widening to 62mm at the twentieth fret; neck thickness runs 21.5mm at the first fret and 24.5mm at the twelfth, with a 240mm radius. The 34-inch scale — 864mm — uses a 19mm string spacing at the B10 bridge. Pickup configuration pairs a passive Dynamix P at the neck with a passive Dynamix J at the bridge, fed through an Ibanez Custom Electronics 2-band EQ. Hardware throughout is chrome. The instrument left the factory strung with .045/.065/.085/.105 gauges in standard E–A–D–G tuning.

Owners seeking replacement parts — including B10 bridge components, Dynamix pickup replacements, or a correctly sized nut blank — should consult a qualified bass guitar technician, who can also verify string spacing compatibility and perform neck relief adjustments to the original specification.

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.
