Does Anyone Have the New Ibanez Talman TMB505 (Roasted Maple)?

[selowitch]

I am curious to hear if anyone has gotten their hands on one of these.

Nobody?

Watching. They look incredible and check all the boxes. I'd love to end up with one!

Me too. According to Sweetwater, the weight range seems to be from about 8lbs. 10oz. to about 9lbs. 3 oz. I would pick the lowest weight one they have. $550 for a five-string with a roasted maple neck and Nordstrand pickups would seem to be an excellent value but only when someone actually plays it will we know. Plus I happen to like the quirky-vintage look.

I had one on order, but it never shipped so I got my money back. Reaching out to the vendor to see if they're available now. If so, I'll probably get one to review.

Cool! I am truly curious. Seems like this could be one of the real bargains of 2020 in terms of new basses. If so, I may have to get one.

I watched and liked your reviews. Thanks! Great job! I’m waiting for it to come available from Sweetwater

For what it’s worth. The old TMB 605 was almost exactly the same.
