Me too. It sucks when people don't demonstrate the sound with a pick. A lot of us are primarily (or only) pick players, so thanks for that.

Awesome and HONEST review thank you. I'm hunting for my first bass and your review was very helpful.

This bass sounds way better on a couple of other reviews - not sure but your audio set up may be the issue. Thanks for the review 😊

That tone is just ❤

I'm seeing these things going for $200-$250 these days. Pretty impressive sounds. Thanks for all the tips and knowledge you share with us on your channel.

thank god for talking about that website where you got that pickguard from. I have hated that pickguard since day 1 and I couldn't find a decent shop that would make a new one. God bless

Thank-you so much! 😁 I'll see what I can do

I just picked up one of these (in the blue finish with a tortisheshell pickguard) this weekend. IMO, this is a sleeper bass. It was on sale for like 200 bucks. It has some killer range of sound, and some great finish on the neck and body. Setup on mine out of the box was pretty good. Had to raise the G string, b/c it was so low it was hitting the frets and buzzing.

You make some great points. As an affordable or entry point bass I feel it's a fantastic option. Truly depending on your music style will determine if it's necessary to replace pickups or electronics. I bought one for versatility to record at home myself. I play guitar, but this is a great bass for home recording. You can get plenty of sounds from it and good playability for the price.

I just finished doing my first gig with one. I usually play with a PJ USA but I thought I'd give this a try. My verdict... If you can buy one then get one (they're discontinued). They sound amazing and are a lot of fun to play (something about that short scale vibe) The two pickups on full are really fat with a lot of definition. Can't say the same about my Fender with both pickups on full. 10/10.

I had one for a few months. Took out the preamp, put in 500K pots with non-stacked knobs (volume and blend), dropped a Seymour Duncan SPB-2 / SJB-2 pair in it, and ended up using the neck pickup only because it sounded better on its own, at which point I realized I had essentially built myself a non-PJ-bass-looking PJ-bass with a massive neck and an extra pickup I didn't need, so I sold it and got me a P-bass.

I like the feel and sound of my tmb100. So makes me want to pick it up and use it. Ironically when I was looking for my first bass this was actually the one I wanted to get. But I found the demos underhelming at the time. I then got a Donner as my first. But didn't like the feel and the aestethics of the fretboard and headstock. Sounded fine. But I got a Squier CV jaguar Bass instead, and I really liked the sound and the look. But at the time I didn't really got it used, and it felt like waste of money, so I sold it. Then almost a year later I decided to get into bass and guitar again. So I got the TMB100 and it feels like the one I should've gotten as my first one. Like it's my actual 1st bass, even though it's not 😅

I just bought one of these and I agree with every one of his points - great review - the treble and bass boost are pretty much useless to me - I keep them flat - I almost always use the P pickup - the J sounds really thin to me. Having said that - its a great bass for the money - As a guitar player now playing bass in a band, its perfect for me.

You can definitely hear the clipping, but there’s a great tone to be found somewhere underneath that

I definitely wouldn't sneeze at a Ibanez tmb,it has grit.two thumbs up!!!! thanks bro.

Theres passive models out there they sound better but the dynamix pickups generally are pretty mid compared to most other pickups.

I think I'm going to pick this up. I plan to replace the pickguard and if i don't like the pickups, i might take your idea and go for the Seymour Duncan P&J's. From what I can tell from videos, I *do* like the sound for the most part, but it's maybe just slightly off from what I'm looking for? I'll have to see in person to find out. After watching this, I'm also slightly concerned about how it's going to feel near the lower frets. Thanks, and wish me luck. 👍

Maybe sometime, I'll tear it apart and replace the pickguard and the electronics setup with a Volume-Volume-Tone kind of layout but maybe it'd be a better idea to go with something else lse.

i love the look and price of these.. i like the sound too actually.. but every time i try one in a guitar center the knobs are always messed up. could be bad luck / bad customers breaking them but no other floor models have broken knobs the way this model seems to . also they're heavy!!!

I have this very same bass, and I was able to fix this bass by swapping pickups with a set of alnico pickups. My base now sounds phenomenal.. the stock ceramic pickups that Ibanez has in this bass are pretty harsh and way too loud..

I have one with a maple neck, and the frets were horrendous! Terrible fret sprout, and sharp as hell! That took about an hour or so to sort out, but for the price of the instrument, I really wasn't complaining. I personally love the active EQ, but I learned that to really get the most out it, you cannot run it on full volume. It will start getting into overdrive rather quickly. I agree with you that the pickups could be a bit better, and I am going to replace them at some point. Overall, I think that the bass is an exceptional value. The finish is great, and overall it's a well equipped instrument. I also have an Ibanez TMB310 that I mated to a TMB30 neck, and it is just a beast! The TMB310 has better pickups, and better wood. I put GHS Brite Flat strings on it, and it sounds amazing! The short neck on the full size body makes it a medium scale(apx. 32"),and it is just a blast to play. Now I just need to figure out what to do the TMB30 body that I have in the closet...

I don`t understand why you had that issue removing the knobs. I changed my TMB100 into passive electronics and was able to remove everything smoothly, the knobs are adjustable by using an allen key.

I was gonna get one last week to mess about on but after reading about the battery life draining problems I was put off . I still consulted my local stockist ... they said they were full of problems including not being packaged suitably in the factory so the concentric pots were damaged more often then not . To be honest this demo sounds like a wasp's fart but that's down to the bass's active circiutry being TOO hot , not your technique.

Oh no it's absolutely this guys technique. He's not an audio engineer. He's using a scarlett solo and a pair of KRK Rokit's like 99% of bedroom producers. Do not make rash decisions based on someone who doesn't know how to record. Fair enough if he doesn't like playing it because of the feel, but his recording is not an accurate representation of how this bass sounds. I've recorded them (in a real studio) a few times. While they are not the most amazing bass, for £200 or whatever you can get a very very useable tone with a little knowledge behind you.

Treble festival but I'm sure some fat low end tones are possible I ordered one in late January for 200 bucks out of stock back ordered and it's finally on the way ,I'll check out the pickups there ceramic hopefully they don't sound harsh some ceramics sound decent if there done rite but I have some alnico 5 pj's in my parts bin we shall see. 🤔

Just got one for 125$ on layaway, for a buddy who records at home… its more expensive than his electric, so I’m hoping it makes a good Christmas gift! He appreciates a versatile instrument for digital recording

Most "active" basses have passive pickups, but an active preamp which gives you the ability to cut or boost the sound at different frequencies. It's basically a mini amplifier powered by a 9 volt battery.

It’s finally here” to “hmmmm...this is pointy and cheap, but if I change this and this...oh this would of make a good mod bass” then change a couple things, plug it in...YIKES!!! “It has an active preamp!!” “Maybe if you put some nice passive pickups???” To....yuck...this is a hot mess! ...then finally “Regret” I’m not at all trying to sound like I’m picking on you.

Used a flat "Vintage Nickel" spray, after prep with a scotch brite, and plastic adhesion promoter. Looks really good! Anyway, quite simply,..these basses sound like ass. Nothing a good pickup swap can't remedy, though. So there you have it..a great project bass. 200 bucks isn't bad for a good body and neck.

Well, that sounds like shit. Glad I watched this. I was going to buy one as a beater bass tomorrow, but guess I'll get a Jackson or Mitchel for $50 to $70 less that sound equally shitty and use the cash I save to upgrade the pickups.

It sounds a bit tinny. Sorry. ♥️🎸.

Did you not notice the grub screws on the Knobs ?. Your first sound demo did sound shite. Difficult to do with a nice Bass. You must have got a Friday Bass. Do the Indonesians suffer the Friday thing ?

Muddy and twangy.

Country of manufacture DOES make a difference IMHO. China makes excellent inexpensive guitars. I will use my Paranormal Jazz '54 as an example. Excellent QC for the money.

So it does or doesn't? The Chinese made squiers are fantastic. Really enjoyed the paranormal I had! As manufacturing processes continue to improve, country of manufacturer matters less and less. I'm all about affordable gear rather than high end 😊 I believe were in agreement here!

I bought one of these for 75 bucks. The previous owner busted it up by pulling the knob (ha). I bought a new preamp/pot for $20. I still hate this piece of caca. The baseball bat neck didn't do anything for me either.

Oh no! At least it wasnt loads of money. I quite liked the neck after a while, found myself picking it up to play quite a bit in the end!

@@JonnyDibble I have zero need of the bass. I have a PJ Squier Jag and a PJ Precision deluxe, already. I just couldn't pass up the deal. I'm donating it to an aspiring player in need. So, it works out in the end.

It's kinda shitty sounding, don't like that mint either on sunburst buddy

Big fan of the mint, not a big fan of that preamp 😪

You have really expensive bass guitars so of course you're going to shit on the less expensive ones we can all afford...

I really really don't have expensive basses man. I've pretty much focused on the affordable market my entire time playing bass 😊

Your negligence broke the base and then you started giving it a bad review. It's a remarkable instrument for the price perhaps a bit Advanced for you. Stay passive. Won't turn to this channel for a review. Good day

Hold my hands up, the knob breaking WAS my fault but the preamp is still too hot in my opinion. If that's enough to turn you away from my channel entirely, fair enough. Good day
