This is honestly the best sounding and playing passive four string Jazz I have ever come across.

That's a Brazilian model.
Tagima (g not j) basses made in Brazil, where Tagima is based, are exemplary.
Their less expensive Asian and Chinese made models are still good, but not on the same tier.
That's my experience/opinion any how. Definitely a brand to check out.
Quite a few choices too!
TAGIMA - Handmade in Brazil
Nice playing Doc!![]()
Pointing it out to others here on TB as well who might not be aware of where these are made.I know it is Brazilian and it smokes the US Geddy I had.

Hmmmm... So is this bass getting any closer to going home with you since March 5?
Tagima TJB-435
You obviously like it... It keeps calling your name everytime you go near the store. G.A.S. is creepin' in!![]()
Why?If do or don't buy anything, I probably won't talk about it on TB anymore. If you see videos of me playing a bass outside of a store, I have probably bought it.
Why?

Looked on their site, but couldn't find a price. How much is this selling for?
Thats a nice looking bass. And the price is even nicer!!Sounds really good, Doc. (So do you).
Here's a Brazilian 5er listed on the Verb (for pricing info)
