Review Summary (Pros and Cons)
The TMB35 is often highlighted as one of the few available short-scale 5-string basses, making it a unique product in its price range.
| Pros | Cons / Common Issues |
| Short Scale Comfort: The 30" scale is great for beginners, guitarists transitioning to bass, or players with smaller hands. | Neck Dive: Due to the large headstock and compact body, many users report some degree of neck dive (the headstock pulling down when using a strap). |
| Tonal Versatility: The P/J pickup configuration offers a range of rich, vintage tones suitable for multiple genres. | Low B String: Being a short-scale 5-string, the low B string tension is lower than on a standard 34" scale bass, which can lead to a slightly "flabbier" tone or less clarity, though many users find it surprisingly workable, especially with a proper setup or different strings (like tapewounds). |
| Great Value: It is frequently praised for its quality construction, good neck feel, and sound for its budget-friendly price point. | Setup: Like many budget instruments, some units may require a professional setup (adjusting action, addressing fret buzz) right out of the box. |
| Aesthetics: The retro Talman body shape and Mint Green finish are popular, with many users loving the vintage look. | Passive Electronics: The stock pickups are considered "ok" but some advanced players suggest replacing the electronics (pickups or wiring) for a more aggressive or refined tone. |
