    In the 1980s, Seizi Tajima began to produce his own  and . After becoming successful, in 1996 he sold the rights to the "Tagima" name to Marutec Music, a local importer of musical instruments. Tagima kept helping its development, becoming the most famous Brazilian . After the sold to Marutec, Tagima instruments were exhibited at MusikMesse (in Frankfurt) and  in Los Angeles. The company also signed an agreement with the IG&T (Guitar and Technology Institute of Sao Paulo) to be the exclusive supplier of instruments of the school.
    Bass has signs of use like minor scratch and dings but in overall great condition for a vintage bass.
