The TTR35B Talman Intertour by Ibanez

The Ibanez Talman Intertour TTR35B is a rare late-‘90s acoustic-electric bass from the Talman Intertour series, designed to blend electric bass playability with an acoustic-style body. It features a compact hollow body with a spruce top and mahogany back/sides, giving it a warm, rounded tone with more projection than a solid-body bass. The 5-string setup extends the low-end range, making it suitable for modern styles while still keeping a lightweight, comfortable feel. Equipped with a built-in B-Band pickup system and preamp, it performs best when amplified, delivering a clear and defined sound. Today, it’s considered a niche and collectible model due to its short production run and unique hybrid design.
