It's hard to believe the quality that this company is able to produce for such a low-cost product. My son is 8, and just beginning his bass journey. As a musician myself, I understand the value of learning on a quality instrument to avoid the frustrations that come along with poor quality.

I was suspicious that at this price, I would get something that would impress me, but there were so many good reviews, I decided to go for it. And I am truly impressed. This is the perfect option for a beginner who isn't necessarily fully committed yet, but wants to take an honest shot at learning. Or for anybody who wants a bass hanging around to mess around with, but doesn't want to spend a lot. Hats off to you Glarry!
Writing this on Christmas day and it was a hit. I have played bass for decades and made one. I've read about hums, but I did not notice any difference from any other Jazz bass. As such, there is a little hum when one is not playing. Electronics are nice. Bridge is nice but not adjusted at all. I will use a screw driver and YouTube later. Frets are nice. Real truss rod. Because this is such a real instrument, it could conceivably be to heavy for you child. We like it.
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.

In addition, the 20W amplifier sounds quite good and offers plenty of volume for practice or recording. Harmonics at the 7th, 12th, and 19th frets ring out nicely and in tune for the A,D, and G strings. For the low E string, I had to use a pick to get much of a harmonic tone. The included carry bag is more of a dust cover as it has no padding to protect the instrument, so I will be replacing that part of the combo package.
The equipment purchased was fine for the price! The only issue was in the packaging of the product itself! Bad! Absolutely the worst treatment of a otherwise quality product!
Ordered this for Christmas for my daughter , it came extremely fast!! Within 2 days of ordering!! Although the recipient hasn't gotten it yet we did open it to look at it. It came very well packaged and everything was tucked neatly in the box. We took the guitar out to look at it and it is beautiful. Perfect for a beginner bass player. I am sure she is going to love it. You cannot beat the price either, for such an affordable guitar it did not feel cheap at all!!
You have to realize that this is an inexpensive bass and comes with low end strings and tuners. That said, the bass arrived in quite good shape. I was not familiar with setting up a bass but was smart enough to realize it needed a little work. A little YouTube University and online articles showed me what to look for and how to correct any found issues. I adjusted the neck and set the intonation. The bass now plays and stays in tune. In time I will replace the original strings and tuners. ...You have to realize that this is an inexpensive bass and comes with low end strings and tuners.

I would definitely recommend this guitar!
It works great. After a bit of tuning of course, I love the look, the sound, and the feel of it, the only criticisms that i have with it is there is a small defect on the side of the neck where the fretboard and the neck meet, but it is hard to notice and doesn't effect the playing any, so over all its a great Bass for a great price, and it comes with a few things you need too!
It's a beautiful bass guitar for the money. The amplifier does have an electronic buzz that I am working on removing. Otherwise, I'm more than satisfied. The body of the guitar is flawless. And the wood is very attractive. The threats do need to be polished on the ends, but it's not severe and that can wait. Overall a very good value.
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. ...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.

Overall first impression very playable/well made. Tight neck to body joint cavity with Picup cavities tight too. Nutcut hieght very good to string gauge.
Pleasantly surprised/very gig-able with fine setup!
Could be converted easily to a piccillo bass future.
Cost/quality/playability/fun factors bassically B+.
Bag & accesories very cheap/minimal, buy a strap!
Will use RV'g/camping with a battery Joyo Bamp.
Fantastic durable versatile playable portable bass.
Overall rating 1-10, easy solid "8" (one I received).
Future "fretless/5'r/8 string'r priced accordingly??
Need string suppliers for variations beside Mako5.
Thx Glarry, Keep'm coming, Cheers!
Bought for my son for his band class and it's holding up well. Needed to be tuned as all new instruments do, but the guitar itself is great for beginners. I suggest purchasing a new carrying bag, the zipper on the one provided broke the second week of school and it progressively got worse and just kept falling apart.
I can't say enough good things about this guitar and it's price. It's a beautiful design/color and also has great sound. My wife is an actual musician who is also really impressed with this overall package. I bought it to test the waters and see if I would enjoy playing and now I can't stop looking at new bass guitars to get my hands on. I'm really enjoying this guitar and it was worth the investment.
I purchased a Glarry 4 string bass with the 15w practice amplifier. We are starting a youth praise band at our church and needed an instrument for someone who is learning how to play. My order shipped within 24 hours and arrived in less than a week. I was impressed with the quality, communication and response. Very pleased.
As soon as they announced the 6 string Bass I bought 1 of each color..they arrived perfectly....I love the feel and finish....mu ONLY issue was the very low output, I have several Large :Vintage Rigs : and found myself turning way up to geta desired sound.

Thanks Again GLARRY!! I now have 3 Incredible 6 String Basses for what many have paid for 1 inferior instrument.
I have no complaints about the bass. With a little bit of a setup (which is to be expected) the guitar is comfortable and plays great. And it was delivered in two days. The one recommendation I would make is to change the strings.
The bass itself feels good for the price that's being sold. Perfect bass for a beginner although there were some weird scratches on the neck and i think someone messed up the Dots on the neck and tried to fix it but thankfully it's not noticeable from far but noticeable when you have it on you. Great product but with a minor defect.
After using this bass for several months, playing it 5 days per week I can tell you that I was impressed but... The only problem I've had is with the strap pegs. They would become loose and wobbly. It started with the upper then the lower. It got so bad that I had to stop playing it with the strap.
Service Team:
We apologize for any inconvenience and have escalated your issue to our R&D and QC departments. We'll contact you ASAP.
Great travel bass for an adult. This baby sounds better than one of my full size guitars that cost three times more. Thinking about buying another one.

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.
