Simply put, this is a great bass! I have played, bought, sold, and traded many basses from many different brands and, by just about any criteria, this bass is solid! Out of the box, the instrument looked fantastic and was pretty decently set up. After tuning and playing a bit, a few minor adjustments were all that were needed to really make this bass play well! Plugged in, it sounds really great. The pickups provide a nice beefy tone with just enough punch to cut through the mix. The tuners are ...

Simply put, this is a great bass! I have played, bought, sold, and traded many basses from many different brands and, by just about any criteria, this bass is solid! Out of the box, the instrument looked fantastic and was pretty decently set up. After tuning and playing a bit, a few minor adjustments were all that were needed to really make this bass play well! Plugged in, it sounds really great. The pickups provide a nice beefy tone with just enough punch to cut through the mix. The tuners are a little stiff, but should loosen up with a little use. After a couple of days, I did replace the strings with my favorite Rotosounds, and oiled the fretboard. I also replaced the bridge with a Wilkinson bridge I had gotten but never used. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the stock bridge, but the new one has slightly wider spacing (19mm string spacing) and aligned the strings better with the poles in the pickups. I added str a p looks and a new strap, and I've been happily playing my new toy ever since! This is the 8th Glarry bass that I've bought. I've traded or sold most of the g e others to students, etc, but this one I'm going to keep! It matches up with a 5string J-bass that I have (not a Glarry) and plays and sounds on par with it. If you are thinking about a 5 string, I really recommend checking this one out! It really is that good!!

This is a very nice 5 string bass at a super reasonable price. Plays well and sounds decent. I'm glad it has a similar shape to a P bass, with split-coil pickups. Lots of potential! My big gripe is that it is advertised as having a 1.656" nut width, which was my main deciding factor on buying this. Well, it turns out the nut on this bass is pretty much the same as the other Glarry 5'ers: 1.77". For some reason, I just don't get along with this nut width. I hope Glarry changes this dimension in ...

I hope Glarry changes this dimension in their specs. I need to decide whether to return it or do a bit of lutherie/modification to it. It is a great price point for any modding, no doubt. All-in-all, it is an excellent bass and well worth the price !!
