Lovely! How do these perform, sound, feel? Been curious about this bass forever but no local store here carries schecter basses
Love it. Never had a hollow/semi-hollow that was active. All my others are passive with a few that have push/pull pots to activate coil splits.
No neck dive that I notice, but I play seated.
However, the back of neck is gloss.

@LowEndLobster did a great YT review.

May I ask how dis you get the Tagima? In Europe or in Brazil? My GAS iS focused on a JMJ4 but it seemed impossible to reach…

  3. JP Custom Electric Upright
  4. Eastwood Airline Map Bass
  5. Tagima TJB-4 Special (for sale)
  6. Tobias Toby Pro 4 NT
  7. Epiphone Jack Casady
  8. Yamaha BB735A
  9. Ibanez Roadster Fretless RS-840BK

  12. Epiphone Viola Bass
  13. Fender American Original 60's
  14. JMS Custom Precision 51
I plan on selling the Tagima and get me a Mustang JMJ, so I'll probably end with 14 basses.
 
12 usable basses…

Fender Jazz (early 70s)
Fender Precision (Fender’s 75th Limited Edition)
Fender Precision (Player Plus Active)
Harley Benton 7 string
Warwick 8 string
Hagstrom 8 string
Yamaha BB400 Fretless
Yamaha TRB-6P
Epiphone EB-0
Ibanez Multiscale 5 string
Burns short scale 6 string bass
Burns Marquee

And, in need of some serious TLC/repair - an old Futurama 6 string bass.
 
Updated 8 years later: Three fretted 4-strings, two fretless 5-strings, two fretted 6-strings, one each fretted 8-string, and fretted 5-string. So that's nine total.

Updated 13 months later: I got another fretted 4-string (an ABG) last December, but sold one of the other fretted 4-strings a month or so ago, so I'm still at nine total...but one of the fretted 6-strings is for sale, so hopefully down to eight soon. (Fingers crossed.)
 
I'm now down to 3 basses. I Just got home from selling my Peavey T-40 bass and T-60 guitar to get my instrument count back to something I can live with and neatly stash in the corner of my closet. Both were very underutilized in my possession for all the bells and whistles they had and I just didn't feel like playing them much for more then a year so I let them go.

Now it's just my Schecter J-4, Westone Pantera X775, and Kramer XL-24 remaining.
