Wow, as a brazilian, never expected to see you playing Tagimas. My first bass ever was a made in Brazil Tagima and still playing decent almost 20 years later. Those are sold pretty cheap and found everywhere here in Brazil for about a third of a Squier price (Squiers get pretty darn expensive 'round here) and people will mod them to death. SX and Tagima are the most common bases for mods right here. I'm curious to see the review, as most of their youtube reviews were paid.
I have a tw66, i love it. Was my second bass, and the first one was a headache (an active stingray copy from Parquer, awful instrument, ate a battery per week). When i purchased my Fender, i modded it with Gotoh tuners, Wilkinson brass saddles bridge and i first installed a Seymour Duncan quarter pounder but didn't like it, so i sold that and bought a locally made pickup to the Fender custom shop 62 spec, and put a set of Jameson original 54 Labella flats (A friend brought them from the US because local music stores do not have them). Took the paint out too, finished it in teak oil. I am surprised with the problems that you had with the tw65, i've tried and setup a lot of this ones and never had a problem. Here we don't have Harley Benton, or Glarry, or the budget lines that are known to be good, and Squiers have become costly, so Tagima and SX are great options for beginners; a new Tagima costs almost half what a Squier affinity does. (Argentina)
Thanks Julian! I'm hoping that it's a simple setup issue, haven't had time to have a go at the setup yet but I'll be sure to update you all on the full review :)
Thanks John and Marcus! IMO cheap instruments like that can often get a bad wrap due to poor storage conditions. The Gibson LP Jr. Tribute was notorious for this as they were all stored in a super dry warehouse and many had some bad fret poke out of the box due to some board shrink. This can often lead to two people getting the same instrument and having completely different experiences. I'll be checking out both eventually though :).
The screwer of screws.....it was right there. I’ve seen these basses, and being dyslexic I don’t spend much time reading, but I never realized that was the pronunciation of that company. Thank you for sharing and teaching me a new word. Cheers lobster.
I think I'll reserve my judgement until you have set them up. The first one sounded promising tho. Couldnt get past the fret Buzz on the second one...yikes. look forward to the review post set up.
I Like the Tagima Basses They Would Make a great project Bass they Sound Good Upgrade the Pickups You would a Phenomenal Bass indeed Thanks Lowend Lobster for another Honest Review 👍😇
@@LowEndLobster they love to sleep in the cases too dude have like literally hundreds of pics of cats inside of music gear. I haven't checked out Tagima in a while - good job finding stuff that hasn't been beat to death like *HEY WHY NOT BUY THIS CHEAP HARLEYBENTONAMAZONBASICSWISH THING HELL ILL BUILD A WHOLE STUDIO WITH THIS SHIT THANKS FOR THE CASH*
Thanks Richard! They indeed make the idea-light go off for a cheap P-mod platform. Hoping that this is the case as I have some P pickups that would be fun to toss in the 66 :)
Tagima made its name here in Brazil with its original, Made in Brazil models. They're really cheap and have decent quality. These new export lines made in China aren't that good, there's a lot of improvement needed there. Speaking of China-made Tagimas, they even released a StingRay Music Man clone with active circuitry, the 4 or 5-string Tagima TBM. Worth a look, but I'm not sure if it's worth the price LOL. I have a 5-string TBM and I can say they do their job as entry points to the world of Music Man tones, but certainly will never replace a StingRay. Cheers.
Dunno about you, but I really like that minty color from the pickguard, makes it look different and the first bass sounded really nice, I'm a sucker for P-Js haha.
Thanks Augustus! Depending on how these go, I may snag others. However if these two are complete turds, probably not going to spend any more on their import line. The MIB stuff I hear is top notch
I was hoping someone would make a great quality review of these basses! Do you think you could review the Vintage brand next? Specifically the VJ72 and the V4M?
Thanks Mario! Yes, I've been looking at the Vintage brand a bit! I have a friend who is a vendor, so we can definitely make this happen (probably in January). I'm intrigued by the all Wilkinson hardware those things have as I do like Wilkinson stuff!
Thanks German! Short answer- YES! I've been eyeing some for a while, will check some out soon. I used to have a Y-Man jazz bass from South Korea that I really enjoyed, definitely looking to check out other lesser known brands (around here) from SK! Great suggestion :)
Howdy LEL! ? are they buzzing because of bad setup or because of uneven frets? If its the former rather than the latter no big deal. They look great. How's fit and finish? Alder or Basswood? Light/heavy?
Those basses don't sound bad! Bummer about the fret buzz and out of the box setup. Given the comments of other users below, these basses do not seem well regarded. Maybe we can get a shoot out of made in China basses in a future video 😁
I was just looking at these basses as well on reverb and RUclips. The demos on RUclips withe the tw 65 and 73 all seem to have a significant amount of fret buzz. They sound good but the buzz is annoying.
@@LowEndLobster The fit and finish look pretty good as well. I'm really hoping that a good setup will take away much of the buzz on these tagimas. Can't wait to see what you are able to do with them LEL.
Well, that 66 looks nice anyways. 😊 As far as cheap basses go, and I've had quite a few, I would go with a Harley Benton. I only have one HB, the Ash bodied Jazz with the 70's pickup spacing. I bought it to be my poor man's Marcus Miller bass, and I'll be damned if it's not one of my favorite basses. It even had a surprise Flame Maple neck. It's not a huge sample size to judge the brand by, but it's quite a bit nicer than any Glarry's, SX's or even Squires that I've owned. I'd put it up there with my MIM Fender, if it wasn't as heavy as a medium sized celestial body.
I'm right there with you. The Glarrys I've played were much less fret buzzy, though an obvious step down in finish quality. However, for an instrument that's meant to be played and not looked at - Glarry all day!
By the way, if you're really into Brazil stuff and is ok venturing into the weird and trashy side of things, I recommend you to get a vintage Tonante bass. That brand was mostly active during the 60's and 70's, and boy, they're the most terrible basses you'll ever play. They didn't have an adjustable truss rod, so you probably won't find one in decent conditions today. If you're curious about that brand, search for 'tonante finder bass' (yeah, they named one of their models as "Finder", making joke of themselves by satirizing the Fender name) LOL if you like weird and low-quality you won't regret It.
Ok so right off I liked this vid BEFORE the basses even come out the boxes.....all due to that SPECTACULAR SHIRT!!!!!!...Keep a knocking but you can't come in!!!!!!! Hahaha
Haha !!! I was number 421 to like this video and you have the Up in Smoke shirt on. I missed 420 by 1 ! Kitty is purring 😼 By the way, I live in PRC ; People's Republic of California. Might as well be. UGH...😤 That looked like a waste of $450 ...Not very good in any way, IMO.
4:23 it still sounds better than the HLK before it got worked over proper. If the neck is twisted, that's a different story than simply having to set the action and relief up. People should learn how to dress their own frets anyhow. ;-P If you're buying a
point about kilns being - I live in Oregon. :-) We have a GREAT variety of woods of all types. Some might say MASSIVE diversity and supply but that is sadly no longer the case. /rant
6:43 There are actually a couple luthiers trying to break out of PRC but I shouldn't have to say what their challenges are. I know there's at least one custom shop that gets work done *somewhere* particular. I really need to start up a google doc or something for this. I've dug up so much crap I can't even begin to hold it in my head at once anymore.
8:23 In all honesty, imports from the PRC still seem pretty random on the QC to me and today isn't any different. Until I can really trace back to factories and people running them, it's basically them doing the QC or me and I don't think that ends up being a fair representation of anything except maybe the piece parts evaluated on their own. Even then, who knows what makes it on or off the line on any given manufacturing day? There's no sensible reason in These Modern Times that we shouldn't be able to put a face to the instruments, or at least the factory's face. If I was going to start looking in places like that I'd check maybe Thailand and Taiwan, Russia is also great place to start looking for luthiers - I have a 7 string acoustic guitar made by a company called Doff and if you think your stuff needed setup lol this thing is barely playable and it was $400 and 14 weeks to get it out of St Petersburg ha ha ha There is also a manufacturer in Nepal I saw a while back that was pretty cool but I don't know if they make basses. sahanaguitars.com/ It was pretty interesting and the guitar demos were great. Quality was off the charts. Basically a Kiesel type deal - handcrafted guitars for about 1.5k USD...you could probably order and sell Kiesels all day long after demoing them, unless Kiesel had some issue with it. Demoing instruments seems to work pretty well for people selling them, so maybe I can feed my GAS if I have a pool of rotating stock that keeps going out as more comes in. I play more than bass. In fact, I'm still not that great of a bass player, I just like playing a whole lot of instruments lol it's fun
Really interesting that you say that, and I agree that there should be more transparency in regards to where these instruments come from. I'm VERY curious about the MIC MTD basses, where they're made, and how they are. We haven't had a great track record with MIC instruments outside of the Squier Paranormal.
Probably made in the Glarry factory with a $120 up-charge for the name. I don’t see these being worth the premium for the level of instrument they are.
Indeed. For the discerning who enjoys looking at basses rather than playing them ;P haha. I'm hoping I can get the fret buzz under control on the 66, I'd love to use it to test some P pickups I just got in!
@@LowEndLobster I knew someone was gonna ask so I just got it out of the way. Please do another HLK before a Glarry or even Slick would probably be more interesting. Or. Dunable? just kidding of course someone isn't just going to up and buy a dunable for a YT channel

@@LowEndLobster Oh, they're nice instruments for the price for sure. If you upgrade the electronics they can be really good.
Pretty accurate, that's it. For the price they're the best buy around here since Squiers end up pretty more expensive than they should be
It always goes:
-I find random bass I’ve never heard of on ebay
-I search for said random bass on RUclips
-Lobster somehow already has a video on it 😂

Hehehe, I had no idea Tagima meant electric.
Have you guys joined his server yet?
It's a cool little place for bassists ;)

The first bass reminds me of fender's american ultra series bass
I see it. Let's call this one the Chinese Ultra ;P

Hey Lobster I’m considering 3 different basses. Tagima tw66; Squire sonic pbass; harley Benton pb50. Which one would you recommend?
I'd be pulling the tele style guard off straight away. Is it thick poly finish? Could be a great platform
Decent poly but not super super thick. If I can get the 66 to not be a buzzy mess, I might use it to test a few P pickups for a comparison :)
please come to brazil
I would love to :)

Tagima basses: great-looking bass, good sound. Ugly fretwork ahahaha
Great video, anyway!!! Yeah!
Thanks Basil! Yeah pretty much hahaha. Hoping the 66 responds well to a nice setup and fresh set of strings, though I'm not overly hopeful.

Gostei do tagima, nada que uma boa regulada nas oitavas e um nivelamento de trastes não resolva.. quanto ao som é só trocar os captadores.

Right?! I'd imagine we wouldn't have even had an unboxing if not for the clear text on the boxes ;P you gave me a chuckle!
