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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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!!!
