I will start this review by saying I am not a bass player. I am a guitarist of 33 years, and a drummer for even longer. I have a small studio and have owned several bass guitars through the years. I play good enough to confidently play my own bass tracks in the studio. With that said, I am in the process of recovering an album and needed some bass. I had chosen a nice 5 string that was significantly more expensive than this one. However, I ran across this guy about a year agoI play Fender strat ...

Had a problem with the first guitar but the team quickly resolved the problem with a new one

I'm very pleased with my Glarry GIB bass with 20W amplifier purchase. As a guitarist that just wanted to learn some bass lines for various songs, I found that the GIB bass exceeds my expectations. After an initial tuning the bass has stayed in tune very well and the intonation going up the fretboard is consistently in tune well past the 12th fret. In addition, the 20W amplifier sounds quite good and offers plenty of volume for practice or recording. Harmonics at the 7th, 12th, and 19th fre ...

Arrived near playable with some fretwork. Very playable neck. Sealed the open pore finish with 2 coats of past wax and buffed, came out very nice.
Perfect travel bass. Round wound strings and the dual picups great tonal range bright to mellow.
Tightened tuner posts to help hold tuner drifting.
Intonation not very close across all strings/bridge easily adjustable/typical Fender style good weight. Control cavity not sheilded but quiet/scaled pots.
Overall first impression very playable/well made. ...

It's a very good instrument for a beginner, with just a few little points knocking off that 5th star:
The body is quite light while the neck and head contribute a significan heft, which does cause some awkward handling that can get uncomfortable after a while
In addition, the pick-ups are quite short which can make then difficult to rest your thumb on
Otherwise, I'm very impressed with what I recieved for the pricepoint

I'm only giving 4 stars because I'm not sure of the sound quality. It shipped very quickly. Arrived in a carefully packed box. My daughter gets lots of compliments on the color. She took it to school to tune and play, so I've yet to hear it play. Overall happy with my purchase thus far.

The guitar looks nice and the functionality is solid.
However, the pick guard is a printed texture "red pearl" which isn't a big deal. The deal breaker is the mirror-backed plastic piece that covers the volume knob and the cable jack. It looks like metal in the picture (and like every other guitar on the market, cheap or expensive, it should be). This piece of plexiglass is the Achille's heel of the whole rig. You have to hold it down to keep it from flexing too much when unplugging the guitar ...

Really great bass for the money - had some minor quibbles, but nothing that wasn't fixable. The edge of the pickguard needed deburring all the way around, and the nut slots were a bit rough. Quite a few of the pickguard screws were angled off-center, there was a ton of sawdust and polishing compound underneath, and some of the stain on the neck came off on my hands at first. Gave the fretboard a coat of mineral oil, lubed up the tuners, and gave it a good setup (nice that it came with a neck shi ...

For the price I thought this was a pretty dam good instrument......the fret board is nice..... buzzed at first but the normal raising of this bridge piece worked ....... and i'm buzz free ...the intonation was consistent but I couldn't get the screws to behave in order to bring the notes to the guide dots right where I want them... I think this is where the price comes in as the hardware was a little cheap ..so I just adjust my playing to the dot position. But in general I'm really happy with ...

This is a good bass you just needs to higher the action and get some new strings. Ernyball string a very good on this bass

The entire process has been excellent until it reached my hands, the product with the protections and dust care, I also had the corresponding accessories with me.
I leave four stars because the cover or bass protector is too small
on Jun 26, 2023
I like that it was a good value for the money but one of the fret sounds odd on the third string and that's the only issue.

I bought this bass and it has been a good starter bass for my daughter. The amp does not get very loud which for me is a good thing lol but if that's what your looking for not a good thing. It is the perfect price for all you get.

Glarry is typically pretty good, this glarry bass had me question a few things with the wires taped together behind the control panel and it's a little quiet, I fidgeted with it and it's pretty nice. Not worth anything higher than 150

A good chance to explore the opportunities offered by a 6-string bass.A six-string bass is an interesting tool for recording guitar/bass players. It offers the opportunity to experiment with various tuning and string configurations: worthy explorations with surprising results. I was concerned that the neck would be too wide for my hands (which are on the small side), but the instrument is very playable. Overall, I like the craftsmanship. The bridge saddles are a touch oversize and are rather ...

Nice bass, no complaints there, would have given it 5 stars but the packaging was just awful, very thin box, ripped open at the seam to where I could actually see the bass!! It was wrapped in some foam cloth, I am very surprised it made it without getting destroyed!
Again, nice instrument though

I'm a drummer who likes to dabble with guitars...Everything I saw online started at $200+ for an introductory bass guitar but I didn't want to spend that since I will only be recording with it in my home studio. After watching several UTube videos I decided to buy my first electric bass and chose the Glarry GIB 4 string.
The frets were sharp so I am taking it to my local music store to have the frets filed and the strings changes and for them to properly set it up; meaning check the truss rod ...

Very satisfied with this purchase. Excellent intro instrument into the fretless world. Arrived in good condition and playable out of the box. Neck heavy but that was expected when paying such a low price. Proves that you can make decent guitars without charging a fortune.

Bass guitar very well built. Amp has static in it, but I did not return it, as I liked the guitar so much. Bought another cheap amp, and it is now fine. Would recommend that you buy the guitar alone, and buy a better, separate amp.

My only complaint is that I was not able to track my delivery. The instrument is fine! It did arrive within the 5 days promised and I am satisfied. I will order from you again.

Great bass. Plays great. Needs new strings and pickups, but overall, feels good.
on Apr 13, 2023
Great value for the price.Stays in tune surprisingly well. It has dual truss rods so the neck stays wherever you put it. The pickups are cheap, however better quality than any stock squire I've used. Very light so it's easy to stand and play for long periods of time, but no neck dive. Pretty great for what it's worth.

This 6-string bass came to me with smooth, buzz less, intonated frets, pretty nice tuners, a straight neck, and a beautiful finish. Definitely ordering one more to keep fretted, as my current one is a fretless conversion. Of course, at the price-point, you have to wonder what is making this bass so affordable! Glad to say it's largely just the pickups, not bad tone but the output leaves much to be desired. No problem finding replacement humbuckers for this one though, getting those soon. Strings ...

For the person whose never really handled or played a guitar...it is a solid beginning. It functions properly and doesn't break the bank

Purchased this after watching reviews on Youtube regarding low cost basses (my goto is a MIM Jazz Bass.) Nice product for this price - great finish, decent hardware. Great beginner/backup bass. The only knock is that the tuner for the E string stripped out one evening while it was hanging on the wall. Easy fix - about $12 for a Wilkinson. Overall a great buy.

immediately upon touching control knobs fell off little super glue problem solved and with a little adjustment it plays pretty good extremely neck heavy but all in all a good student bass they should have threw in a tuner being it's a student guitar but we'll buy again

It's not bad, but it's not good... but the fretboard is twice the size that a normal bass fret might be. even my 5 string bass has half the size of this fret board. That being said strings are cheep, pickups are loose (easy fix), and the nut is cheep plastic, but the thing is heavy and built like a tank! Small weak fingers might think about another option... overall for the price I would say not bad having it in my collection! 4 of 5
Learning bass guitars do make you stand out from the crowd. The lead guitar usually expresses the face and sound of the band with an exaggerated feel, but behind it is a bass guitar that brings vitality to the same band. The bass player usually calmly performs his own performance, making the entire band's energetic heartbeat continue to beat.
Playing a electric bass guitar is easy to learn, but it's hard to master, it all depends on where you want to match. Bass guitars are very easy to get started, most people can master the basics and start playing right away, but learning best bass guitars can also be very advanced, because it is an easy-to-use instrument that can be almost as infinite as possible. The right quality of the correct tuning and playing bass guitar and the richness of the rich tones are truly fascinating. Being a bass guitar player and being able to create such a sound yourself is still a much more exciting.
