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. The amp is small, but just right for a beginner...it's not too loud and can easily be transported for travel between home & school. I will definitely order his next guitar from Glarry Music.

Great service & great product!
This is good bass for the price. I did a few modification and converted it into a fretless.
IT CAME PACKED GREAT ITS A XMAS PRESENT FOR MY SON ..IT LOOKS REALY NICE AND SOUNDS GREAT ...WILL UPDATE MORE AFTER CHRISTMAS..
Great bass! Just a little expected tuning out of the box & it's sounding great and plays easily. Mfg. quality, fit & finish are beyond expectations for this this price, or even for something that would cost more. Fast shipping too & No disappointments here.Glarry delivers a lot, for just a little.
This is a Christmas gift so I can't review the sound or even the quality yet, But it was well packed and appears to be in great condition. My son is the recipient and this guitar is the one he specifically requested so we will see how much he likes it on the 25th.
I am 72 year old man that has always wanted to learn to play the Bass ,living on a meager fixed income I always thought I would never be able to afford to do it .While watching videos on YouTube I came across people playing Glarry instruments and thought that might be a possibility . I told my wife and the person that was going to help me my plan to buy a Glarry Bass and they adamantly told me not to waste my money !! I went against their advice and I am glad I did !

I am 72 year old man that has always wanted to learn to play the Bass ,living on a meager fixed income I always thought I would never be able to afford to do it .While watching videos on YouTube I came across people playing Glarry instruments and thought that might be a possibility . I told my wife and the person that was going to help me my plan to buy a Glarry Bass and they adamantly told me not to waste my money !! I went against their advice and I am glad I did ! The Bass is beautiful and would have been worth the money just to look at . I have spent more time playing it as it is super to learn on and the guy teaching me has had to admit he was wrong in telling me not to buy it .My current dream is to save up to purchase one of the new 5 string basses . At 72 it is nice to have something to dream about and look forward to !
The P-Bass was my first order... a really nice instrument that I've used on gigs with great results - can't believe how nice this bass plays, looks and feels. The sound is not that of a Fender, but very close when using an Ampeg amp set to mid range with bass knob turned up to 6 .5-stars
The Strat was my second order. Not quite the same great setup out of the box. With a few adjustments it plays well and sounds good. Once the strings were changed, it became a whole different instrument. Gre ...

The Strat was my second order. Not quite the same great setup out of the box. With a few adjustments it plays well and sounds good. Once the strings were changed, it became a whole different instrument. Great tone and sustain, without tinny sound or clacking on frets. 4-stars.
The Acoustic- 3rd purchase. This is definitely a student guitar. Setup was terrible. General quality was disappointing after my other purchases. It's fair to mention that the price was extraordinarily low and my expectations were too high. 2-stars
Overall, I love the bass and would have paid 3 times the price and felt good about it. It doesn't have the weight and feel of my Fender, but it didn't have the price tag either. I gig with it...and it doesn't break my back. It sounds great and plays well. I'm definitely a Glarry customer that brags about your company.

Nice Bass...like the neck profile and weight ...good deal
Best bass guitar for the money. Had to raid the G string a little. Other than that Great Bass for the money
Bass is good for the price a few little issues but nothing I couldn't take care of
Really solid P Bass .. Feels a lot like a Fender except a bit lighter in the body. Worth the money ... and some! ~~~ I'm glad that I bought it.
I ordered this for a friend for Xmas. It shipped fast, and was packed very carefully. I removed the bass, looked it over and found it to pretty impressive. There were a couple of fish eyes in the paint on back, but I found no other defects The neck was straight, bridge was straight, nut was cut perfectly. Electronics worked perfectly, no buzz or feedback. Before tuning, I lubed the tuners, they seemed pretty tight. I highly recommend lubing the tuners. After tuning, I plugged into a amp I alread ...
I ordered this for a friend for Xmas. It shipped fast, and was packed very carefully. I removed the bass, looked it over and found it to pretty impressive.

Electronics worked perfectly, no buzz or feedback. Before tuning, I lubed the tuners, they seemed pretty tight. I highly recommend lubing the tuners. After tuning, I plugged into a amp I already have and started playing, I was and am very impressed. I have not put it down for very long, and I decided to keep it for myself!! I ended up ordering another one to complete my Xmas gift. I did use the 20w amp that came with the package and all I can say is it will be good for my friend to learn/practice with, but it is by no means top notch. Didn't expect it to be.
Excellent constructability! My son loves it... Will need to adjust the action a bit, that's all! And for the price, its un beatable.
I've wanted a Jazz style bass for quite a while. Since I'm not a great player (mediocre would be an apt description of my abilities) and bass is not a primary instrument, I did not want to buy anything expensive for my first bass. So, when I saw this at such a price, I could not pass it up this time. I had seen many inexpensive bass guitars with a P/J pickup configuration (split coil neck, single coil bridge, ala Precision bass and Jazz bass respectively) , but I wanted a straight Jazz pickup se ...
I've wanted a Jazz style bass for quite a while. Since I'm not a great player (mediocre would be an apt description of my abilities) and bass is not a primary instrument, I did not want to buy anything expensive for my first bass. So, when I saw this at such a price, I could not pass it up this time. I had seen many inexpensive bass guitars with a P/J pickup configuration (split coil neck, single coil bridge, ala Precision bass and Jazz bass respectively) , but I wanted a straight Jazz pickup set. I got it with this instrument.
I some ways I was disappointed, in others I was pleased.
The disappointment came in the neck shape and size, and, to a lesser degree, the electronics. First, this has a very big neck, very fat, very wide. I was looking for the narrow neck of a Jazz type bass, this is not it. That being said, it is well made, and quite solid. Even with the bigger neck, I have little problem banging out notes on this up and down. Second, this is expected at the price, the pickups are quite micro phonic and a little noisy with some overdrive. The main reason for this is they are not wax potted which is quite reasonable for a bass in this price range. A simple pickup upgrade would fix this.
The good. It has the Jazz bass growl and mid range punch I was looking for out of a bass, and with a single coil, Jazz style, middle (or neck, depends on how you say it and what you call it) it does not have the smooth boomy sound of a P-style bass pickup, much tighter and more mid range sound. The setup is good enough to play, but it could be better, again, this is to be expected on such a low priced instrument, room for improvement. The fit and finish are very good, no issues that I have found as of yet. I love the natural, unpainted, look of the body, reminiscent of the F-type Jazz basses from the '70s. I am an experienced tech with as soldering iron and have replaced many, many pickups in my guitars over the years, haven't opened it up yet. Overall, this is good stuff.
This Bass is such a beautiful delicacy. Especially for starters. I love everything about this. Nothing has upset me, I'm even going to use it in a gig. Trust me, the is the best budget bass you can get.
Great instrument! Looks and plays awesome no flaw for this great price.
