Shape Your Tone With Dynamix PJ Pickups
The Dynamix PJ pickup configuration of the TMB405TA bass gives you the best of both worlds for sculpting your ideal tone. The Precision-style pickup in the mid position produces round, warm lows and focused mids. When soloed, it provides a classic thump perfect for grooving bass lines. The Jazz-style bridge pickup delivers crisp highs and aggressive attack, ideal for cutting through the mix. Blend the two pickups together to balance vintage character and modern edge. This versatile tonal palette lets you easily adapt your sound as you hop between genres and playing styles.
Play All Night With a Roasted Maple Neck
The roasted maple neck on the TMB405TA 5-string electric bass promotes playing comfort even during long gigs. The roasting process increases the wood's stability and durability, resulting in a neck that resists warping and sticking to your hand. Roasted maple also provides enhanced moisture resistance so your neck retains its integrity across varying humidity levels. Combined with a smooth satin finish, this heat-treated neck feels fast and slick under your fingers. The 20-fret rosewood fingerboard further enhances playability with its moderately slim profile. Make every performance your best with the reliability of a roasted maple neck.
Intonate Precisely With the B10 Bridge
The B10 bridge on the Ibanez TMB405TA bass allows for rock-solid intonation to keep you sounding your best. Its saddle pieces are individually adjustable, giving you precision control over the string lengths. This lets you accurately set each string's intonation to compensate for subtle inconsistencies in fret positions. The solid block design also provides incredible tuning stability compared to tremolo bridges. You can confidently dig into the strings without worrying about your tuning wavering. Dial in perfect intonation for consistent tone and reliable performance with the B10 bridge.
Achieve Tonal Balance With a Rosewood Fingerboard
The rosewood fingerboard on the TMB405TA 5-string bass contributes to its overall balanced tone. Rosewood naturally produces clear articulation with a focused midrange punch. This allows the clarity of each note to shine through the mix without getting lost in a wash of overtones. The moderate density also provides excellent sustain without excessive boominess on the low end. Combined with the flexible electronics, the rosewood fingerboard gives you tonal versatility across different playing situations. Unleash the balanced potential of rosewood on the Ibanez TMB405TA.
