Wow excellent for the price! Incredible! I had until now a Fender Mustang Vintera (almost €1000 new) and honestly this Talman TMB30 at €229 dresses it up for winter!!! It is light, the output level of each pickup is higher, they are very distinct each and allow great sound versatility! Indeed it dips at the nose, I think I'll change the tuners to lose a few grams at the headstock. Also I think I'll put flatwound cobalt strings on it. But factory-wise, already, how it sounds! The settings, nothing to complain about, one tuning and off we go! Also the slap sounds really good on it (whereas it's almost impossible to get a nice slap attack on the Mustang...). Before I was snobbish ?? and I insisted on having Fenders, Mexican ones of course, but Fenders (I also have a JB from the 90s), so much for snobbery... happy!!! It will navigate through many different styles and be heard on stage without blushing! Thanks Woodbrass: ordered Sunday evening, shipped Monday at 6pm, received in perfect condition at 11am Tuesday!!! ????
