Ibanez should pay you for this enthusiastic review

I walked into guitar center with a 1000.00 budget to get a bass...I had been eyeing this beautiful fender jazz and another Ibanez...so there I am playing both trying to decide when this young man with his little baby girl walked up to me and to;d me “ before you spend all that money on those expensive basses check out that blue bass over there in the corner on that guitar stand”...I looked over at it and it had a price tag on it that read 199.00...I felt I had to try it just to be polite and I said to myself “go ahead and try it and when he leaves go back to making your decision “...I picked it up plugged it into the amp and started playing it ...I was totally blown away by the sound and the neck and I’m like “this isn’t possible not for this prize”..I played it for about 15 mins and right there and then bought and found the guy with the baby girl and thank him ...I saved a whole lot of money and walked out happy with my new bass guitar.

Really?

I do have a bad heart but man, your review is the best medicine and I'm going to buy this bass!

This review has convinced me that this man is the definition of the word happy and enthusiastic

I don't even play, but I am a bassist at heart and in my dreams. Now, after watching this video a dozen times, and looking at THAT BASS, I think I might have to take the plunge and start learning. At 50+. Srsly.

I'm 45, and became inspired by this intriguing dude called Davie501, and of course also by dear Mr. Johnny Long, whose opinion i value dearly (just watch his other vids, he tells it as it is. No bullshit). My dear Terri, i am riding in the same boat as you. I am saving up to get me a TMB100 Talman (thanks to Mr. Long here...). I am currently learning on an Epiphone Les Paul Jr. Rocksmith addition, tuned to be a bass. I just can't wait to get that bass. Good luck to you Terri. You will enjoy it, and most certainly will not regret it. And a special thanks to you Mr. Johnny Long sir. As always a massive pleasure to be enjoying your videos. 🍻😎👌 Take care, and God Bless you and your family.

thats straight piano y'all! is my new favourite expression to describe anything I like

The minute I saw the owl I said to myself, "this man is nuts and I'm going to subscribe if he doesn't otherwise disappoint me." With the exception of that horrible baseball cap, I wish I was your personal friend because you crack me up!

this guy can make any bass sound good !!!

IBANEZ!! HIRE THIS MAN! I bought one of these in this exact color and was floored at how good it sounded. His review sold me.

This is the best instrument review I've ever watched. And I've watched a lot.

I don't know if you are crazy or not, but I have to thank you... I've been eyeing this bass for a few weeks and looking for the right review, and you sir... You NAILED it. This thing is bananas, and I'm thankful for that! I needed something that was inexpensive but had a versatile and sick sound. You let me know that it's safe to order and I'll likely be super happy with this investment that can travel back and forth across the country for some jams. That was my main goal: A nice bass that will travel easily on the wallet and mind. This may even become my regular gig bass!

Hey, Johhny, this was the first video of yours I watched back when I was looking for reviews of this bass. I was pretty much convinced to buy it after watching you demo it. Now I couldn't be happier with this bass, and I owe it all to you. Thank you sincerely.

Just bought this bass based on your review,..i have a bad heart so I had to leave early but I bought it anyway,..and WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you ARE the man,..i wish every review led me in the direction that you did,...and you can play!!!!!! great stuff,...thanks!

I saw this vídeo 3 times this morning! I got one now!!!

So guess what I got for CHRISTMAS 🎄 this morning?! Mint with the maple fretboard! Sooooooo SWEEEET!

I bought this bass around 1.5 years ago after I saw this video of yours, and I instantly fell in love when I put my hands on it first time. It became my favourite bass to play. Thank you for doing such great videos!

I wonder if this will fill the void I’m feeling that I didn’t buy the Squier jaguar short scale. It was like 2 to 250 and as soon as they stop making it they’re $400 but it had the PJ pick ups and everybody swears by them.

possibly one of my favourite videos ever you have a hilarious personality

Hey Johnny, thanks for the fun review! I got a TMB100 just before checking you out and you made me realize that I got so much more than what I thought I had.

Love your review and the enthusiasm you have for the instrument, looking to get this as my first bass, been a guitarist for 11 years and thought I’d take a lesson in humility!

I’m just watching this over and over because ain’t nothing on tv lol 😂

hehehe....I like you bridge! ....I like his own vibe!....Best review ever. Watched 8 times. love it. Very entertaining.

I was gonna go buy this bass but now AWWW YEAHHHH WHOOOOOOO IMMA GO BUY THIS BASS WOOOOOOHOOOO I LOVE YOU BASS!!

You're the best, maestro!

I have one of these and absolutely love it. I installed an active/passive bypass switch in mine and when in passive mode, it sounds amazing. It is my daily go-to bass.

Just played one of these at Guitar Center today. I want it! Dude, your enthusiasm is contagious. I wouldn't have quit all my bands if any of them had this kind of passion. Watching this, I'm super motivated to just go buy this thing right now and write a hundred new songs.

I got myself this exact bass for Christmas this year and this is making me really excited for Christmas morning

This guy makes basses sound way better by setting them up with a fresh strings and a super low action. Most people would be surprised at the tone of their own basses by setting a very low action with new strings and not worrying to much about fret buzz. Johnny has alot of fret buzz but it don't matter. That's how you get that piano tone going on. It's all in the right hand. I can make the best neck have fret buzz if I WANT it too... Its all about how hard you play and not caring so much about a little bit of buzz. You the man Mr long

I just ordered one mint green with maple fretboard. Great review. Glad I found your Channel.

Johnny was making that thang dance !

Mr. Long, my wife is wondering why I'm crying and laughing at the same time , sir you are truly a blessing, and hilarious. I've subscribed to your channel, I do hope to meet you one day , maybe to service one of my basses etc., but you are truly a blessing sir , don't stop.

Wow, this is great! I've played electric and acoustic for over 30 years and have decided to add bass to my repertoire. I just ordered the TMB105 and it's backordered for 6 weeks!!! After watching your video, I can't wait to start playing it! :)

I got a Ibanez atk 600 and I just picked up mint green tmb100 wow!! Fantastic sound from Ibanez basses. Thanks Johnny for your review.🤩🤩

Protect this man at all costs

Great review Johnny. Love your enthusiasm ! Wicked .....

Man, I played one yesterday and I almost pulled out my wallet and bought it. I could not believe all Ibanez was offering for a price point soooooo low. I'm a fender guy through and through, but, when I played that bass I couldn't put it down. Whether fingerstyle, thumping and plucking, harmonics, etc, the bass delivered on every point.

Best review of a musical instrument ever! I LOL'D and then I subscribed to your channel

🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣 I'm watching this in 2020. I missed this one. Lololol Hoot-aaay!!!

Team Ibanez all the way baby!!!!! Great video Doc.

Mine is coming in Friday. I can’t wait. Suuuper funky vibes. That preamp workin!

Man, I watched this and then bought this bass. It's my first bass and I've loved it from the moment I got it. Thanks for showing me what it can do. They ought to write you a check for making this video.

Silliest damn demo I've ever..............liked. Thank you :)

absolutely love this review! im buying one because of you!

I'm getting one of these tomorrow, same color and all. I LOVE this bass. This is coming from a guitar player!

When I saw this video, I quickly ordered my Ibanez Talman Bass (TMB100) in Sea Foam Blue. I don’t think you can order this color anymore in 2020. Glad I made this purchase cause it’s a Fender Killer at a phenomenal price. Its design and sound is exactly how Johnny Lee Long describes it.

I chose this bass yesterday out of all the bass's i played. I wish I could play it as well as you. But I can't wait to play her again at my birthday in a couple of months. Thanks man.

Get it

I just ordered one for myself in mint green!!!

Great review. I was in the music store and must have played that bass for an hour through a markbass amp. Very nice bass at any price...great playing also.

Dude, you are a beast! I really like those and the price is unbeatable

Subscribed!! Not for the bass, but the fun way you review them...great video Johnny!!!

this guy is amazing, please do more reviews hahaha I'm obsessed with this video

you are just killing me man! I definitely love how outgoing and funny you are ! Thanks a bunch for sharing so much enthusiasm ! I just LOVE it !!! :-) Just bought a TMB 100 from the local classifieds ($200CAD/$160 USD) = and am leaving to get and get it .... All excited !

Thanks for this vid. I have been shopping around for a beginner bass and you just sold me on the Ibanez. You are a bit mad but also have mad skills!

Your playing is phenomenal

I got curious about bass and decided to walk into my local music shop and just pick up the cheapest bass and practice amp. I knew nothing about bass but after playing it for 3 months now, I KNOW this is a HELL of a deal. I actually got it for $99 due to an incorrect price tag. The salesman was nice enough to honor it and I got myself the natural finish. It's a GORGEOUS bass. And the sounds that come from it are so crisp. Your review was highly entertaining. I love your passion!

"That's straight piano yall!" haha I love it I saw one of these at my local music store this weekend in sparkle green and one look was all it took. Played is for 5 minutes and knew. Looked at the price tag and had to buy it. Ibanez hit a home run with thes one.

Ibanez, make sure you give this gentleman an endorsement, he just made me order one of your basses!

I just bought one 4 days ago, sounds Great! 1st song learned..Rappers Delight! Oh, I don't know how to play bass..just watchin youtube! U awesome.

I'm sold. Will mow a few extra lawns this summer and save up for my own TMB.

You really accomplished on your instrument , and you CRAZY FUN!!! ANYWHOO!!

Lmfao love the energy. Your review is great.

What a fun dude! subscribed instantly.

fab review, to the point, great groove play, thank you !

Just another reminder that it's not the instrument, it's the musician.

Awesome demo, I just ordered the exact same one in Soda Blue for a recording project. Can't wait for it to arrive.

that riff at 6:15 is absolutely killer brother... keep on kickin’ ass 😎

Great review, awesome playing as well! Looks like I just found my choice!

alright sir...I've been watching a few of your videos and I must say you are wonderful. I don't subscribe to many channels but you, you really love what you do and I do too! I've been playing bass/guitar for 20+ years and I have learned much from you in just a few videos so you got me. Oh and I really like the Ibanezes they are coming out with as of late, really good quality!

It’s hard to go wrong with Ibanez cost effective bass s notice cost effective not cheap when I was just beginning bass I choose a Ibanez 205 five string over a American fender jazz I do not regret my decision and never have it’s carried me through many gigs the money I saved allowed me to get a high end amp no regrets Ever great vid

Whoa dude. You are hilarious, entertaining and simply awesome. On this bass you confirmed my own thoughts. I was trying out the fender p bass (player series) and saw this exact tmb100 on the wall and was like yeah that looks nice but only $200? But then played it and was shocked that it sounded as good if not better than the $800 fender?!?!? Thanks bro keep up the great work

Haha! I saw this, on paper, & it really did look like the best studio bass for me personally, for the limited budget. Your wonderful review has pushed me over the cliff... I'm getting one. I have a vintage precision, and 24 fret active monstrosity that works ok. I want something I can easily replace if stolen, as I'll be trucking it around different studios and what-not. You got a new subscriber from England today. Stay healthy buddy!

After year of knowing this review I bought this bass and I must say THANK YOU JOHNNY because I get sickest and best bass I could! :-)

you grouchy baby! straight grouchy! this man is dope!

Johnny you're so funny! this video was a joy to watch! Review or no! LOL I burst into laughter several times!!

Me and you play bass in very different ways (you good, me bad) but you've sold it to me dude. It looks amazing anyway but hearing you bless it 🙏 🙌 thank you bro

F.A.E bassman What Principatus said. Go with theTalman. I have one and I’ve used mine on live stage and studio session gigs. It cuts through the mix in venues with crappy acoustics and it’s preferred over my MIA Fender Deluxe Precision in the studio where the producer and/or the artist wants an active bass tone. This bass is what I’d consider a nice beginner’s instrument that the novice can grow into when they discover that it’s really an intermediate level in beginners garb.

Great demo. Love that you're a goofy as hell. Excellent chops! Also, We Dem Boys!

I just ordered one of these! from all that I've heard about em, I think I'll like it! it's pretty cool that it's the price it is!

love your vids

I ordered one yesterday. Saw your video today and if I wasn't sure about it I am now. My first bass. Different color. Cool videos. Because I like it. Haha tell hooty hi for me.

welcome to Johnny's bass playhouse y'all! lol great review. love your enthusiasm.

Bro you are awesome I'm going to buy one now

I just got one in this color last night, I love it

Soooo im usually a Fender J Bass player but i just bought a white TMB100 yesterday and now im hooked.!!!!😁😁😁

JOHNNY! I'm a high school dude whose had his eyes peeled and heart set on playing bass for a while now, specifically on this bass and the TMB30, which is a bit smaller, a bit more affordable, has a passive preamp, and has this cool black pick guard. BUT, after watching this video, I've decided this WILL be my first bass! It's got a beautiful tone, and man, those pickups... And not to mention your personality! You're extremely approachable, funny, and convincing. Any doubt I had in the TMB100 or the bass in general is gone now, you're a seriously cool guy!!! Soon I'll be slapping and picking like the greats. And it's all thanks to you! :)

Mine just arrived, main reason I bought it was this review! I'm only a beginner with the bass but love it already, can't wait till I'm actually any good lol

Just ordered the mint green one and Im excited to get it in a couple days... yessssirrr!!

Only thing putting me into shock is the heat you just brought with your playing, damn

Just ordered this bass, was hoping to get the Mint Green but it was on back order so I went with this soda blue. Looks and sounds great!

😀😀😀 прикольный дядька. И обзор отличный👍👍👍

I just ordered one from sweetwater. $199. I wish I was your neighbor. LOL

Happy new year buddy
