TMB605 Natural Red copyright sprite

The TMB605 is a five string Talman Bass series solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez in 2016. It was made in Indonesia as part of the standard line.

The TMB605 features an asymmetric double-cutaway ash body bolted to a maple neck with a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with binding and acrylic block position markers. Components include a pair of custom Nordstrand passive pickups mounted in a tortoise pickguard with a Jazz pickup at the bridge and a Precision pickup at the neck, an Ibanez custom preamp with a bypassable two-band EQ, a B15 bridge with 18mm string spacing, a plastic nut and Ibanez open tuning machines.

For 2018 the rosewood fretboard was replaced with jatoba.

The TMB600 is a similar four string model.

The TMB605 was discontinued after 2019.
