This is a good brazilian bass, that i purchased in 1992.Tagima is one of the most famous brazilian luthiers. I bought this bass because it looks like American Fender Jazz Bass, with excellent finished and good wood at a low price. This bass is really easy to play and the action is very low. On the other hand, it's very, very heavy, unconfortable for long duration gigs and sounds limited even with active/passive pickups. In resume,just an instrument that worths US$ 500.00
