It looks identical to the Tacoma CB series Thunderchief bass. The Olympia is $295.00 new, with no case. It sounds as loud as any acoustic base I've tried. Are they the same insturments? |

They are different but it depends on the sound you want and the depth of your pocket. Mine has a LR Baggs pickup rather than the Fishman and I admit I prefer that sound WHEN I plug it in (very rarely) Steve |

From: 60sgeezer I got a tacoma jm-9 I love it! the depth and volume is phenomenal.It has a BIG...BIG sound, and is airy and mellow. It is great for fingerpicking-esp in drop d. I paid 900 dollars for it, and it sounds better than guitars retailing for twice that amount. imho. (I also have a taylor 855 twelve string which i turned into a six string It sounds NO better"than my Tacoma jm9 (-cant say much for the tacoma dreadnaught however) I hear tacoma went out of business. They were bought by fender, 'who discontinued the tacoma guitars. :(( |

An OD 18 s in good condition should easily be worth 800-1200 an OD 10 or an even rarer OD 5 can be worth even more if your lucky enough to have one of these keep it and take good care of it! |
