IbanezTMB 4 String Bass Guitar, Right, Black (TMB30IV)

I ordered this bass from Adorama a few weeks ago. When I received it and tried to set it up, I could not get the action as low as I like without some fret buzz around the 15th fret. Aside from that I liked the bass a lot, it has great sounding pickups, frets nicely dressed with no sharp edges, nice tuners and bridge, generally a surprisingly well-made and balanced instrument at a crazily low price point. I requested a return and replacement due to the fret buzz through Amazon, and Adorama took care of it with no question. The replacement was on its way as soon as I shipped the first one. The second one came and works perfectly, it is now set up just the way I like it and perfectly intonated (it was very close to perfect right out of the box). The bass is a short scale, but the neck is thicker than the one on the Ibanez Mikro so it feels more like a "real" bass while the short 30" scale still allows for easy reach of notes. I have been playing bass for decades and have had some fine instruments, and I would consider this a completely usable bass for anything from a beginner to a gigging musician. I would recommend it without hesitation. I also would recommend buying from Adorama, they handled the whole process quickly and with no complications. The pictures in this review are from a show I played using this bass yesterday.

El tiempo de entrega y el empaque del producto excelente. Respecto al bajo, esta cómodo, la acción es buena con el ajuste de fabrica y el sonido brillante.Muy buena relación valor-precio

I'm 70 and my arthritic hands don't prevent me from playing. It sounds great. I have not played it at arena volume. Fender makes a great solid state amp 100 watts for your kid. You need at least that to gig with drums.

I honestly don't how they can build this guitar with this much quality and only charge 229 bucks for it. I'm a guitar player primarily but have played bass for a long time. I presently own a nice yamaha full scale bass which is a great instrument, but I wanted to get a short scale bass just for the fun of it. So I saw the great reviews for this bass and thought for the price I could get it and if it wasn't good I wouldn't be out much. This bass looks great, plays great, and sounds great. You could gig with it out of the box. Just amazing. Don't hesitate to buy this if you're looking.

I have the full size version with active pickups, which I love, but being a guitarist I wanted a smaller scale and slightly lighter weight. This bass has everything I need! Great neck, awesome bridge and the stock pickups sound very good. The tones range from a Fender Jazz to a P Bass and with separate volume for each pick up and master tone, you have a huge array of tones. Ibanez delivers all my needs with this amazing bass!
