Ibanez Talman Bass neck profile ?

[mika77270]

Hi,
giving a second try here cause the official talkbass ibanez talman forum appear dead.
So basically i need a thick bass neck but i want a decent jazz pickup so buying a precision is out of question here. i suffer a bad tendonitys when playing thin neck so i'm looking for a thick neck and based on official ibanez website the talman tmb600 could fit the bill. On paper his neck is eventhicker than an ATK but can't find one review confirming it. on the contrary ot talman owner seems to find the neck thin so i'm confused. any talman owner even tmb100 or or 300 (same neck that the tmb600) here that can confirm the neck is very thick (i'm not talking of width) and who have identified the profile of the neck ? U type , C type , D type??? help please.

Yeah I know the specs but as I said on paper this bass is suposed to have a neck thicker than an ATK and everybody agree to Say the ATK neck is one of the biggest but when it come to the talman nobody talk about the neck. Even more some described it as jazzy neck, slim etc etc.

Well, it doesn’t feel meaty to me so I thought it was more helpful to give you facts rather than my opinion

I’m happy to confirm the specs measuring mine if it helps.

I ve contact Ibanez and they confirmed me the specs are accurate and the neck of the talman is thicker than the ATK one. The nut of the talman is 1 mm thinner so i Wonder if width nut is more important than thickness regarding the feel of a neck.
