Three New Tagimas

[Dr. Cheese]

These Chinese Tagimas are a good value. The Predator, a five with pretty mild fanned frets is $709, the Relic is about $700, and the fretless is $400ish. These basses seem to be good alternatives to Sire or nicer Squiers.

I really liked the Predator, but I go fanned, I go 37” like Dingwall or Spector. The frets on this bass are parallel from the 5-9th frets and are fanned on the low and high end. I think the effect is pretty mild and this bass could have had parallel frets on a 35 1/2” scale. That said, B string is possibly the best I have heard on a sub $1K bass and I was impressed with the electronics.

The relic Jazz is nice, nowhere nearly as nice as my Brazilian Tagima, but I heard there is no more Brazilian production, and that is a shame.

The fretless is nice, the fingerboard is far better than the last Squier I played and I don’t know about Sire.

That’s a really good sounding fretless. IMHO the only keeper. The 4 sounded like it needs a setup. I’ve heard you play enough to know you’re not one to fret out and that one seemed to buzz quite a bit. The fanned fret 5 was okay, but clearly nowhere near your Sadowsky.

The four needs a set up really badly. The five is a $700 bass. I thought it was good for the money, but my Sadowsky is definitely nicer.

Of course! It is a Sadowsky! But those Tagima's are sweet as well!

After the Bacchus , Tagima become my new favorite. I have a radar on Tagima TW-66 and Predator 5.

But, I proud to own a Tagima Tessy NTM II , and my buddy who own Fender Player Plus Nashville tele just shocking how great the china made tessy build quality, zero fret-edge and enjoy to play.

My only point was given your current stable, I wouldn’t think any of those would be GAS inducing. Nice demos!
