Quick and dirty Tagima review.

[UNICORN BASS]

Had a chance to check out a Tagima Hollwood series bass.
Specs are: Poplar body, one piece maple neck, maple board, passive 'P' pup, V.T. controls.
Brazilian company but absent of country of origin, most likely Asian.
The highs: Excellent woods and finish, equivalent to MIC Squier IMHO.
Nice flame to neck and finger board that doesn't show well in my lousy pictures.
1.5/40mm nut width and great feel/balance, medium to light weight.
Very "right" play ability.
The lows: So, So, sound, possibly due to the worst stock strings i have ever encountered.
Tuning stability very poor (see crappy string comment above).
Conclusion: Another excellent entry level bass, as always YMMV!
Seems to be an good modding platform. Cheers.

I recently purchased a Tagima Model TW-66 Bass guitar. I didn't know what to expect from a Bass priced a bit lower than the Fender Squier series Basses. I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent construction & finish & the sound even with cheaper strings. The only items that could be improved with a little Modding is the Bridge and Machine Tuners. The sound quality was much better than I expected and has me rethinking possible pickup replacement. I would highly recommend it as starter Bass or as a backup or even a gigging bass with some modest modding. Excellent value for the $$

I have a Hipshot A style 18mm brass/Chrome on mine. Don't know about the tuners. I will also replace the nut.I'll get a black graph tech

I have this bass tw 66 in butterscotch...love the look, my only issue is dead spots on g string
I can play around it but it's annoying. Thinking a fender fat finger might be the cure.

I had Samarium Cobalt pickups and a sadowsky pre in mine.I recently swapped it for EMG Js and a BTS circuit. That bass is a beast now. Plays like a dream , great fretwork no dead spots,action a 3/32" w practically no buzzing.Took me a while, had to do some creative shimming.

 

[gimmeagig]

Here's mine. EMG Pickups, EMG BTS EQ, Hipshot bridge and tuners,new Knobs, new strapholders, moved the neck pickup forward so pickups are now 4" apart ( Fender 70s location) and I reshaped the headstock slightly and cleaned up the fret edges and rolled the fingerboard edges a bit. So for most gigs this is now my Go To #1 bass. It sounds and feels better than some of my much more expensive basses.
