Over the years I had considered obtaining a Fretless Bass. I enjoy the sound qualities they produce in Music. The few used ones that I came across still didn't seem reasonable to me to take a chance on something that wasn't a certainty when not being able to really give it a try. And then...

I found the Glarry Fretless P-style Bass and ordered it. I love the sounds it produces and the overall quality is wonderful. The only down side is the exceptionally light weight of the body wood (I believe it might be Paulownia ... not Basswood as listed in the Specs) making it a bit neck heavy. Even with that I can easily compensate for it while playing by resting my forearm more on the lower bout. I've recorded a couple of tunes with it and would recommend it to anyone thinking about giving the Fretless Bass a try. Here is my YouTube Unboxing Video...https://youtu.be/jA5LYHuxDP0
Guitar arrived just fine in standard shipping box. No damage. Glarry uses really cheesy film to protect the pick guard and it is hard to pick off all the nooks and crannies. Pick guard themselves are garbage: They are made of a super soft plastic than can be gouged with just a fingernail. Finish was fine. I did not detect any cosmetic issues.

These guitars do not come set up (it is a budget axe). The neck was WAY out of adjustment. I don't think I've ever had to turn the truss rod nut that many times...almost to cracking. For a fretless, the strings are wrong. Be ready to install some flats. I went with some tape wounds and the sound became much better.
The pickups are ok, no complaints. The rest of the electronics are fine. I do not hear any buzz and the pots seem to be slightly loose, but not a deal breaker.
The fingerboard is excellent. After a good set up, the guitar really sounds nice for a practice rig. There are fret dots on the edge, but it is a good challenge not having fret lines. Let your muscle memory work for you!
All in all, I am happy with the purchase. You absolutely cannot beat the price, and there is decent quality control to warrant getting one.

I love this bass. First off the design and the finish. Although I'm not sure if the one I bought is still available, but I got the fire one, and it's beautiful. The next thing is I am an old guy so my hands aren't as strong as back in the day, but this guitar is easy to play even for me, and that's a plus for sure. Frets are nice on it also, and I really didn't notice much roughness. A great deal all around. I went and got and new strap and cable, and that of course don;t effect skill, but it's ...I love this bass. First off the design and the finish.

It is pretty well made. Out of the box: neck is straight, intonation pretty close. No loose nuts on volume and tone controls. No sharp frets. Input jack is solid. Bass is very lightweight. Balanced when playing with strap. Minor issues: all esthetic/looks. Half of the pick guard screws were screwed in crooked, not fixable without using bigger screws. Finish where the neck and fretboard meet inconsistent, some areas had no finish, some areas had drip marks. The Glarry logo on the headstock rubs o ...It is pretty well made.

Minor issues: all esthetic/looks. Half of the pick guard screws were screwed in crooked, not fixable without using bigger screws. Finish where the neck and fretboard meet inconsistent, some areas had no finish, some areas had drip marks. The Glarry logo on the headstock rubs off too easily. Strings not wound correctly on tuner posts, which will affect the bass staying in tune.
So I am happy with my purchase of this Bass, it does have some issues. It does however look good, have playabilty (reasonable string height) and it works when plugged it. Now for the cons:1) The neck has an indentation on the treble side around the 11th - 12 fret but, doesn't effect the sound or playabilty2) There is a tiny gauge in the pic guard which I could care less about3) It has GLarry on the head stock. also I bought a set of black tuners and the top peg snapped off of one.
Sounds overall good. Great for a beginner bass. Mine came with a stripped truss rod tho which made it have fret buzz that couldn't be fixed by a professional :(

I purchased the space somewhere around the beginning of covid not one or two months later the top piece that holds the strings on the base snapped I tried for months to get a hold of garry unsuccessfully. All I would like is to get my base fixed or something to that effect it's been nearly two years thanks guys

WOW! Heard this bass being played on a video and it sounded great! After conversation with the one playing at the time, found out he wasn't using any pedals or effects. Was still a bit skeptical, but purchased it anyway. Once again...WOW! The sound is EXCELLENT! Especially being passive. A few minor issues like pod noise, but that's an easy fix. Lightweight but durable. Neck is fast and smooth. Action is spot on. Will probably order another one just because!
I ordered this base on Friday July 8th and it arrived on Monday July 10th, very quick. The only issue I have with the ordering process is that I did not receive any kind of order confirmation email, not what i am used to but hey with such quick delivery who really cares. The reason for the 3 star review is that my bass arrived with a bent tuner on the "G" string and I am unable to get the "lobe " of the tuner to set properly. This made tunning a little difficult because I started with the "E" st ...I ordered this base on Friday July 8th and it arrived on Monday July 10th, very quick.

The reason for the 3 star review is that my bass arrived with a bent tuner on the "G" string and I am unable to get the "lobe " of the tuner to set properly. This made tunning a little difficult because I started with the "E" string and worked my way down but when I tuned the "G" string the lobe of the tuner would hit the tuner for the "D" string, so I had to back off the "D" sting so I could tune the "G" string and then tune the "D" string again. The rest of the base looks pretty good and I may update my review later.

Update 7/18/2022 I was contacted by Glarry and initially requested a replacement for the broken tuner, Glarry instead offered a $10.00 refund so I could replace the tuner. I replied that I would prefer they send a new tuner so it would match the existing tuners. For reasons unknown to me Glarry did not want to send a tuner so I found a set of tuners on Amazon for $20.00 so Glarry refunded that amount. If I could I would change my initial review from a 3 star to a 4 star but the site won't let me ...Update 7/18/2022 I was contacted by Glarry and initially requested a replacement for the broken tuner, Glarry instead offered a $10.00 refund so I could replace the tuner.

After buying my first Glarry guitar in Sept. 2020 I decided to replace my 5 string Rogue bass that I had sold. So I bought this one from Glarry. I had it setup and new string put on it and it plays great! Amazing Quality too for the amount of money I gave for it. $128.48 I know China gets a lot of flack these days for all the shit they have put out like the C-virus but as far as the people go and the companies that are making cheap musical equipment and instruments...I can complain.

This bass in a Yamaha or Fender would probably cost a couple of thousand but I got this one for a fraction of the cost and it plays great as far as I am concerned not that I am a professional player but it works for me! Thanks Glarry for all you do for us working class poor folks!
The bass was everything the reviews said it was. Quality product at a reasonable price. I do home recording and this is perfect for my needs. If you are looking for a starter bass for bass or just want a nice quality bass with out spending arm and a leg this is the it!
Great value and quality! Beginners and seasoned players will love this.
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.
