The TMB400TA-CBS is a solid, well-playing bass for the gigging musician or student. The roasted maple neck and P/J pickup configuration provide a surprising amount of tonal flexibility, and the overall build quality is impressive for a bass in this price range. It’s a great entry point into Ibanez’s more refined instruments.
