This makes Glarry #5 for me. I think they are very good for the price. They sometimes have minor imperfections and need a good set-up but you end up with a playable , decent looking guitar. Some people spend more, (sometimes MUCH more) for one guitar , than I have invested in all 5 of these. Only way a poor guy like me could have this many guitars to play with.

Glarry
I would have given it 5 stars, but it needs work to be playable. I sanded the saddle down a good bit on the bottom to lower the string action because it was extremely high. It easily pops out when you remove the strings. I also put new strings on it and that made a huge difference in sound output and tone. It sounds much better now. This guitar is really fun to play! I used D'Addario shortscale, nickel wound, medium gauge strings and they are perfect. Sanding the bottom of the saddle was easy. D ...I would have given it 5 stars, but it needs work to be playable.

I used D'Addario shortscale, nickel wound, medium gauge strings and they are perfect. Sanding the bottom of the saddle was easy. Don't let that scare you. Lay the sandpaper on a hard surface and slide the saddle back and forth. Do a little at a time and keep checking it. It made a huge difference! This is a great guitar for the price once you put in some minor work.
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 ...This is a very nice 5 string bass at a super reasonable price. Plays well and sounds decent.

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 !!
At these price points, I think expecting a perfectly setup instrument are honestly unrealistic. But I was pleasantly surprised that the neck is fairly well done. No fret buzz. No sharp fret ends. The saddles will require a bit of adjustment as well as intonation, but that is ten minutes of work compared to a "fret level and crown" which will NOT be required. The grounding isn't perfect, there is noticeable noise when I'm not touching the strings or bridge, but that is something I will rectify an ...At these price points, I think expecting a perfectly setup instrument are honestly unrealistic.

The grounding isn't perfect, there is noticeable noise when I'm not touching the strings or bridge, but that is something I will rectify anyway because I bought this instrument as a "mod platform". New pickups, pots and pickguard are on the way. All-in-all I'm very satisfied. Shipping took too long, but that isn't Glarry's fault!
Not a bad starter guitar bass. The speaker is small but loud enough for practice. The only two things I didn't like were the cheap bag and very short power plug. I would add a longer power cord and just some hard foam in the inside of the guitar bag would make it safe to carry the bass.
I ordered 3 different guitars, all Glarry instruments. I play left handed, with the strings reversed. All 3 guitars were right handed, so I flipped the nut around and restrung all to be lefty correct. I was really hoping that I would get a true lefty guitar, but there were none available. Will the intonation be affected by restringing the guitars?
Communication was shakey at the start. It took four days to find out it was back ordered but now in stock and would ship two days later. Upon receiving, it all looked good. When playing it sounded tinny. Upon inspection, two of the strings were not aligned at the bottom properly. You Tube has a video how to properly set up the guitar. For the price, I expected something less than Fender. I'll make it better.
I really like the sound of the guitar and how it looks and feels but the action on the strings was pretty high and I had to adjust it and I am an experienced player and seeing this on a beginner guitar is common but I think you could have done a little better on that but u did include the tool to fix that which was nice but the neck is a little big and for someone without large hands it would be difficult to play such as my friend Branson who had trouble playing it but u have large hands so I wa ...I really like the sound of the guitar and how it looks and feels but the action on the strings was pretty high and I had to adjust it and I am an experienced player and seeing this on a beginner guitar is common but I think you could have done a little better on that but u did include the tool to fix that which was nice but the neck is a little big and for someone without large hands it would be difficult to play such as my friend Branson who had trouble playing it but u have large hands so I was fine and the amp is also not the best but I will say for a beginner it would work but it wouldn't sound as good and for the picks I suggest sending thicker picks because with how the strings are it would be easier to play with a thicker pick overall though I like the guitar and I think it is a very good option for beginners and intermediates and I would be interested in reviewing more of your products so if you would like to hear my opinions on your other products please contact me at [email protected]
Love how loud it is. As an acoustic it is pretty good. But I'm not a fan of the EQ. It's too quiet when I plug it up to my fender rumble. It barely captures the sound of the E string. But besides that it's great to pickup and play
The instructions are not clear on thing and I beleave if u put together something like this it should come with very detailed instructions on how to do everything from putting it together to finish details like how to intonation ur guitar and how to adjust sting hight neck relief as someone that has just picked up a guitar like a month ago and it took me a while to figure something's out
I would have given this 5 stars if the neck of the bass wasn't so far out of adjustment....that being said Its alot better quality than I expected and its great for home recording. Might even put some better pickups in it later
I love this guitar! It plays great, has no feedback, and few to no twangy frets. My only complaint is that when I am tuning it, sometimes a string will "pop" and completely untune. Other than that, this is an amazing guitar for an amazing price!
The guitar is a phemonial instrument for the price, I highly recommend for any beginner. I wanted to try a 5 string bass without having to spend hundreds, and this was the perfect guitar for that. I now have two Glarry Basses, and they are a great product. Sadly, the gig bag sent with this 5 string did not fit the guitar at all, I can't use it. I'm assuming it's a generic size. I would love one that actually fit so I can actually take it places. Other than that, great product.
The guitar is beautiful! My husband was so impressed with the quality and workmanship of the actual guitar. The combo deal was a nice idea, but we will have to replace the amp, strap, and cords, due to lack of quality. However, the customer service is out of this world! I had a couple questions about packaging, and received a response almost immediately a couple times. We will definitely be shopping with you directly for our future purchases.
It's a nice guitar for a beginner. When it arrived with the box punctured and battered, I had a feeling something would not be good. It has a great tone, but we noticed that the fixed bridge is unleveled and makes the B-string closer to the frets than the others, which concluded in a buzzing sound. The G-string bridge part was unleveled but didn't affect the tone nor the sound.
Nice little short scale bass. I had it professionally set-up after purchasing it and it plays really well. My daughter loves it and it's a great first bass for her. I wish the amplifier that was sold with it had the same build quality (the amp broke 7 months into ownership, just outside of the 6-month warranty period).
I adjusted the neck it plays pretty well, paint was pretty solid, it was packaged pretty ugly. The gig bag was cheap but the guitar overall sounded and built pretty well. They filed the 6-8 frets down so it clinks when I I strum low e on the 6th fretboard, but overall for the money it was absolutely worth it.
Overall it has been a good guitar for the price. Expect to do some fret dressing and string setup (intonation, action, etc) after changing to new strings. I also sanded the neck with 1000 grit sandpaper for a silkier feel. It is a really good looking guitar and I use it as one of my main practice guitars. My son has also started to play and uses this one quite often.
As a woman in my 70's, I bought this kid's bass after seeing several positive reviews where I could see an adult playing it, who said it could be good for older folks. I'm taking a jazz group and decided to replace my u-bass with this. I expect to be happy with it, but want to note several concerns. 1) The screws covering the truss rod cover spin in their holes (I've heard this stripping can happen during manufacture); 2) the strings are quite rough (for a u-bass player) so I looked into flat wo ...As a woman in my 70's, I bought this kid's bass after seeing several positive reviews where I could see an adult playing it, who said it could be good for older folks.

I expect to be happy with it, but want to note several concerns. 1) The screws covering the truss rod cover spin in their holes (I've heard this stripping can happen during manufacture); 2) the strings are quite rough (for a u-bass player) so I looked into flat wound strings and discovered 3) replacement strings are very hard to find and the ONE micro-bass set of flats I found will cost me half again the price of the instrument. Plus, if I get someone to set it up for me, I'll have put more into it than it cost. (Plus purchase of a padded gigbag) But maybe that's a good deal, who knows?
pretty good. takes some time to get used to the odd shape especially when you sit down. case came scuffed up but not too much of a worry. very cheap, good quality considering that.
As a girl who is more on the petite end of the spectrum I can say that this bass works pretty good from a beginners perspective its my first bass and ive been able to reach all the frets just fine. Although its definitely up to a standard far past beginner I have enjoyed its size and weight discounting the non even distribution there of.
For less than $100, you literally cannot beat it. Had mine for about 2 days now, plays great, sounds great, literally no complaints. Obviously this isn't the cleanest luthier job i've ever seen, i can see glue inside, marks from filing, etc, but if you're spending this little on an acoustic bass, you can't complain. It plays and sounds great, comfortable, and as an intermediate bass player of 10 years, I can actually say I recommend this bass, as long as you aren't paying more than $100.
I received a very playable instrument that is a great start for those interested in trying 6-string bass. The neck was pretty well setup, and the intonation is perfect through the 24-fret. It's really an amazing instrument for less than $150.
The placement of the cable jack is odd (being above the bass tone control), but it isn't a problem using wireless or an angled cable ( which would ideally be included instead of the straight cable), and the pickups are the same length— so the C string is ...I received a very playable instrument that is a great start for those interested in trying 6-string bass.

The placement of the cable jack is odd (being above the bass tone control), but it isn't a problem using wireless or an angled cable ( which would ideally be included instead of the straight cable), and the pickups are the same length— so the C string is barely over the bridge pickup. This doesn't seem to impact the sound too much, though.
I've been looking an expensive 6-string and wanted to see how I liked playing a 6-string before spending more. I'm having fun with my Glarry and might not bother getting a more expensive one!
Fun little kit! As a kit it isn't a challenge but when you're done you have a ok cheap little guitar. Nothing a serious guitarist would want but it plays and for the price it's amazing.
wonderful rig, just has some bridge issues and neck issues. just a bit of setup is required. its GREAT for beginning guitarists and luthiers. definitely ordering more from here.
guitar is beautiful and nice! amp is good as well but i did not receive the bag for this guitar..i assumed it was an add on purchase but apparently it was supposed to come with the combo which i unfortunately did not receive :(
The guitars is one of the three major musical instruments in the world originated from Spain, which is divided into acoustic guitar and electric guitar, which have obvious differences. Ukulele is small exquisite and easy to carry, easier to learn and play.
