Super pleased with the quality and playability. Would be a bargain at double the price. I was surprised how light this model is, after seeing reviews of the P and J models which noted "neck dive." No such problem with this model. Very pleased with it.
I have never touched an instrument before in my life. During quarantine, I just decided, "bass, why not." The price is NOT A SCAM!! Yes, there is some glossy finish that is peeling slightly at the corner, but that is an easy fix. I am 16 years old but the reported "thick neck" of the bass didn't phase me at all. I'm sure I haven't tuned it properly because I'm learning off youtube videos, but it sounds great, and that's coming from a jazz enthusiast. It's a relatively light guitar and isn't too ...
I have never touched an instrument before in my life. During quarantine, I just decided, "bass, why not." The price is NOT A SCAM!! Yes, there is some glossy finish that is peeling slightly at the corner, but that is an easy fix. I am 16 years old but the reported "thick neck" of the bass didn't phase me at all. I'm sure I haven't tuned it properly because I'm learning off youtube videos, but it sounds great, and that's coming from a jazz enthusiast. It's a relatively light guitar and isn't too bulky either. The cord connects perfectly with my amp and the passive nature of the bass doesn't affect its quality at all. The only issue is that it shipped a day later than expected, but with the current problems of COVID-19, that is out of the company's hands. So, if you are looking to find a cheap bass that doesn't feel or sound like a cheap bass, THIS IS THE GUITAR!
Good luck playing!

I am a long-time guitar player who decided during Corona lockdown that this would be the perfect time to learn the bass. I didn't want to spend much money but I wanted quality. After searching all the usual retail locations for a used bass, someone recommended Glarry to me. I was able to get a basic bass for less than any of the used ones, but the quality is amazing. It stays in tune, the neck isn't too wide or too thin, the strings were already the right height, and the electronics are fine. I ...

After searching all the usual retail locations for a used bass, someone recommended Glarry to me. I was able to get a basic bass for less than any of the used ones, but the quality is amazing. It stays in tune, the neck isn't too wide or too thin, the strings were already the right height, and the electronics are fine. I keep it next to my desk in my home office and I've already learned several songs just by playing it whenever I need a break from work.
I've recommended Glarry to several people, and anyone who's looking for a beginner-priced instrument that has much better than beginner quality should consider Glarry. They also make great modding platforms if you're into doing your own custom guitar work.
This all started with the purchase of a Glarry P Bass, Just wanted to see what you get for such a cheap price, outta the box played well and had nice sound...hums at high volume, but iI sanded the neck and fret ends, and put on a set of Fender Studio bass roundwounds , and this thing PLAYS and Sounds AWESOME!! Had friends play it who own Name brand P basses and they loved it.

After that I bought a Strat Model 6 string, Gorgeous Natural wood finish, looks and plays like a guitar 5x it's value ! Now I just recieved the Glarry J Bass and No Lie, this is gonna be My Geddy lee tribute Bass...needs very little, but with a Badass bridge and maybe some 80's pups this is Gonna Be a Daily player !
Thank You Glarry! I now own six of your wonderful instruments and look forward to getting more.
I own 2 Glarry guitars. One bass, one guitar. They are a great value for the money. Are they as good as a $2,000 guitar? No.
But they are great for a new player. They are fun to play, Light. You can upgrade them and make them great. You should put new strings on them at least.
Maybe file the ends of the frets. If you put new Tuning pegs and pickups for a grand total of $200 in upgrades =$300 it would be as good as a $2,000 guitar to 99% of listeners.

I read and watched many reviews prior to purchasing this bass, so i was expecting to really enjoy it and appreciate it's quality for such a budget price. Well, when i received it, I was still surprised at how awesome this bass really is. I'm a first time bass player, but play and own many 6 string electric and acoustic guitars so i can definitely spot quality. This bass has it! The fit and finish are spot on with no cosmetic flaws. The pickups themselves had become unadhered to the pickup housing in shipping so i did have to superglue them before i was able to play the bass. Easy enough. After noodling around with the bass a bit i feel that it's very playable. It's very lightweight which i can appreciate b/c i'm a small statured female. The neck is quite large (something i'm not used to with my guitars) but i can still reach the E string easily enough. The fretwork is above average with no sharp frets. As for the tone I can't really comment on since this is the first bass i've played. But paired with a small Fender Rumble 15, the sound is crisp and clear and fret buzz is very minimal. The buzzing is probably attributable to my novice playing. All in all, I'm extremely happy with my purchase!

Set up very well, near perfect intonation and action. Straight neck. Electronics give off a slight buzz when DI into system when all 4 knobs all the way up. Frets beveled nicely on ends. Back of neck needed more sanding, has some rough spots. Shipped with brand new strings. Low B doesn't buzz which is amazing. Sounds excellent with a good pre amp.

Buy this!

I bought the Jazz Bass in White. Body has scratches by the bridge where the strings load in. Fit and finish are good, neck joint is tight and clean. Neck is not a Jazz Bass profile, it's kind of in between the Jazz and Precision feel, slightly chunky, but very playable. Hardware does what it is supposed to, tuning keys are ok, probably the weak point of the whole bass. Electronics all function as they should, no grounding hum or buzz. Pick ups sound like Jazz Bass pickups should. I would like to ...

Hardware does what it is supposed to, tuning keys are ok, probably the weak point of the whole bass. Electronics all function as they should, no grounding hum or buzz. Pick ups sound like Jazz Bass pickups should. I would like to see Glarry make Basses with Maple fretboards since I prefer them myself. Over all balance of this Bass is good, it's not neck heavy at all. I use a padded shoulder strap and it keeps the Bass right where I like it. I would say this Bass plays better than a Squier Affinity Series, but not better than The Classic Vibe or Vintage Modified. Is it worth $80?...…….Yes, I would say it is! I'm going to use it as my Church Band Bass, I'm more comfortable taking the Glarry Jazz Bass instead of my $700 Fender Mustang. Good job Glarry, this instrument exceeded my expectations.
Just got the j bass in the sunset finish . 3 guitars and 2 basses later and I've yet to be disappointed ! I've been playing 45+ years and you couldn't get anything this inexpensive for the quality back in the day ! Rock on Glarry !
Cant believe the quality in this bass. Ive been a bassist for about 20 years and this plays right up there with any jazz bass ive played. Great job making a quailty instrument
Arrived in a great condition being only in one box. Finish is absolutely stunning, I love this yellow. So from the headstock down. Tuning keys perfect, no buzz or rattle, haven't found any buzzing frets. A very minor setup made the action perfect. The neck is a raw but smooth surface, I didn't find the neck to be as chunky as others have described it. I've had no snap crackle or pop out of any electronics. The overall impression of this bass is 10 out of 10. For the price it's an amazing deal an ...

I have played guitar for nearly 60 years. As of late I have been starting to do some recording in a small home studio. I have never played bass, so I decided I would try to do my own bass lines. Ihave a 1970 fretless Fender P bass that was my brothers. I can't play it. So I was looking for an inexpensive neck and found this for less than the neck. The finish is perfect, the neck was straight, the runners were tight and smooth. Strings were ok. The electronics were very quiet for single coil ...

The finish is perfect, the neck was straight, the runners were tight and smooth. Strings were ok. The electronics were very quiet for single coil pumps. The bridge and saddles worked fine, not high dollar stuff but functional. I received the guitar in cold dry weather which is responsible for the few fret sprouts. The frets were level so I dressed the ends, lowered the nut a bit, set the action and it plays great. Buy this bass. If you cant do it, have set up and you will love it. Any new guitar I have ever owned needed set up some worse than others. That's why I learned to do it. This is truly a great value, shipping was fast and best of all I can play it and it records well. Great job Glarry. I don't know how you do it for the money.

I was extremely surprised of the quality for such a low price. It came without any defects and was very clean.

He is now wanting to buy the Jazz version of this bass and possibly a bigger amp. It was definitely a good purchase and for an entry level bass, I will rate it 5 stars for price and quality.

I've been playing bass for 10 years and with back issues now, my Fender is too heavy now, After reading reviews and watching videos, I said why not. I does need a little setup but any bas out the box does. I was surprised at the build quality. No fret bite. wow..Cant say that for the $300 Ibanez I played at the store. The tone is rich and deep.

It's gonna be my go to player and the fender will be detuned for playing reggae.

This is my second Glarry bass, with the 4 string version in natural finish being my first. Just as the first did, this bass arrived safely, and even still a little in tune. It was set up well with a comfortably low action and no sharp frets. The pickups sound crystal clear even on the low B string. The finish is gorgeous and absolutely worth twice the asking price alone. All in all, both basses are a steal at this price point, and I highly recommend them.

I ordered this bass guitar as a gift for my son's 14th birthday. It arrived securely packaged and it looks beautiful! We were greatly impressed by the quality right out of the box! It came with everything he needed (I ordered a stand, pics and a tuner separately), so he was able to use it right away.

Really happy with this purchase. The guitar looks great, sounds really good and feels well built and sturdy. Came with a tiny bit of fret buzz on one or two frets, but nothing a 5 minute set-up couldn't fix - and most basses need a little adjustment out of the box so that's to be expected. The head is also a tiny bit heavy in comparison to the body when it comes to overall weight balance - but this is a minor gripe indeed and the bass still plays comfortably and sits well. Will be using this bas ...

The bass is very solid! I owned a $3000+ bass and it was my pride and joy for years. However, due to family matters, I had to let the instrument go for money. I purchased this pbass and I instantly felt how solid the instrument is! It was as if the instrument had been setup prior to being mailed to me. I love it! I'm working with a family member on a record and it is being put to work straight out of the box!
I love this bass guitar. It's playable right out of the Box, And the quality is great. You can't go wrong especially at the price level, This bass guitar is worth every penny. Is the quality as good as a Fender precision ,bo, but do you get a Mercedes Benz for a Kia a price? I would recommend this guitar to anybody, don't hesitate just buy it and start playing. you can't go wrong for the price
I'm a 40-year veteran bassist and I'm extremely happy with my glarry precision bass and Jazz Bass. I cannot believe the sound and quality I received at such a small price. I will be using these bases in live performances as well as some recordings along with my music man and Fender basses. I also purchased a Telecaster for my son and he's extremely happy with it. I'm looking forward to receiving a fretless bass and a 5-string bass from you all. Thanks again for all you do for us.

Well this bass is sweet! Opened it right up outta the box and said "Hey cool a gig bag!" but tuned it up and it was ready to go. The amp that came with it I was expecting less and it was definitely more. 5 stars all the way across. Othen than tuning it up, I cleaned off the neck. Excellent bass for me to get started with. Thank you GlarryMusic!!
This bass guitar is amazing! It arrived right away, and right out of the box, it was a joy to play. I've already plugged it into my DAW and recorded with it, and of course it sounds great through my amp (and even alone, tbh—just for practicing fingering...I'm new to the bass). Strings are fabulous, they stay tuned, tone is amazing—everything about it is perfect. Highly recommend!
Would've given this 5 stars if the packing wasnt ripped up like it had been returned and also have fibers stuck in all the frets like it was wrap in a towel or something. Other than that the body is in great condition. Had to fix the action due to fret buzz. Will have to think twice about ordering the electric guitar I wanted.

Just received my bass, and checked everything before playing it. Had to loosen the truss rod just a tad and tune it up. Didn't have to make anymore adjustments on it. Best bass I've ever had. Looking forward to being a repeat customer
Nice bass, very happy with the quality, really fast shipping too. Thank you!
I am incredibly satisfied with my purchase. It has surpassed all expectations. I'm just a bored middle aged man who basically bought this as a toy to pass time during the Covid-19 quarantine but it turned out to be quite high quality. It's looks and sound far exceed it's price tag.
I have been a guitar player for 39 years, and always bought guitars based on brand name and hype. Oh, you need to get Brand X, because So and So plays only Brand X.

Brand X is the BEST, because Brand X says they are...Blah blah blah. I've got Strats, Les Pauls, and Explorers, but I always wanted to try bass. I shopped around, and grew curious upon finding Glarry on YouTube. I said the same thing that everyone else says. How can a bass that cheap be any more than a piece of firewood and wire? Well, spoiler alert! These things are LEGIT instruments. I fully expected poor quality fit and finish, and a bad setup. My expectations were smashed! Fit and finish is EXCELLENT, and no set up was needed. I did take it apart just to take a look inside, and do some work on the fretboard. I noticed that the finish on the fretboard is odd. Nothing defective, just looked dry. I lemon oiled it and it got better, but still felt a little odd, so I took a plastic card (like a credit card) and burnished the grain with the edge of it so it would sort of smooth out and close the grain. That seemed to do the trick. Looks fine now, and feels silky smooth. Other than the 30 minutes of tinkering with the fretboard (which wasn't needed, just my preference), this thing is a 10 out of 10. Is it a hand crafted in a custom shop heirloom that will impress a brand snob? NO. Is is a good beginner instrument? YES. Is it useful for more advanced users? YES. Could it be used to gig with? YES. Will it last? I think it will. If you treat your instruments like instruments, and not baseball bats, it should last for many years. Do you get what you pay for? NO...you get so much more. I would seriously have paid 3 to 4 times more in the past to get a similar quality instrument. I have absolutely no idea how Glarry is making any money on these. I will be getting a P Bass in the future as well as a tele style just to see how those are, but I can honestly say, I am a Glarry fan going forward. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK GLARRY!
