I am super excited to surprise my grandson with his first bass! I never thought I could afford one for him. He will be thrilled.
I ordered another really cool guitar for him, but I'm saving it for his birthday. He saw the box and knew we had just looked at that guitar a couple of nights before. They come really fast :)
Now he will get the surprise for Chanukah and the other one for the birthday.
With this price I could afford two guitars.
Arrived in pristine condition. Finish and fit are awesome, a beautiful instrument! I wanted to explore 5-string bass and this bass feels incredible! After a setup and intonation it performs beautifully. Lovely grain and the pickups really deliver. If a maple fretboard becomes available I will purchase another!
Loved my new Bass! I do have small hands and the neck is a little on the big side, plays well and very sensitive. There were some small scratches when it arrived which was kind of sad 'cause it was brand new. I did give a 5 star but a 4.7 would have been what I wanted to do, but round up you know.
Got this for my son for his birthday. Pretty solid instrument for the price. Was pretty much ready to go out of the box with a couple of minor tweaks. Really hard to beat the product for the price.
This is the first guitar I've ever owned. I'm absolutely loving it. I still can't believe I got everything for that price. I'm sure there's differences you would notice if you've been playing a long time but you'd be hard pressed to find a better starting set up. Used guitars online alone are usually in the $200 price range. This already came strung and you just throw a battery in the guitar and you can tune it easily. I'm extremely satisfied with this product
This yellow telecaster is beautiful and is my favorite practice guitar. I expected, carry it on a gig in the very near future. It is light weight and stays in tune for days. It was packaged very well and shipped properly. Thank you, Glary.
My purchase came in a few days, out of the box, no damage. With a few minutes of cleaning and tuning, the bass was ready to go. I have changed a few things on it. Went with gold colored parts. Looks awesome and plays/ sounds great!!
I bought this bass for a school in the Philippines, and it is a perfect size for the students, and after setup it plays and sounds great. Note the "after setup" part. The intonation was so bad out of the box that I thought the frets were misplaced, and considered returning it as defective. It needed a TOTAL setup, as it wasn't even close, and was totally unplayable out of the box. Truss rod, saddle height and intonation all required major adjustment. Also the nut was a bit high, but I don't ...I bought this bass for a school in the Philippines, and it is a perfect size for the students, and after setup it plays and sounds great.

It needed a TOTAL setup, as it wasn't even close, and was totally unplayable out of the box. Truss rod, saddle height and intonation all required major adjustment. Also the nut was a bit high, but I don't have slot files, and it turned out it was close enough. After setup it plays and sounds great, and the kids are having a good time learning to play bass.
This is a sharp looking acoustic bass, I love the black. It comes tuned down so I tuned it up and strings are not too high, just right. Unplugged sound carries and is warm. I plugged her into my GK Legacy 210 amp and could create my favorite vintage sound by simply putting mids and highs flat and lows on high. That's just my preference. Built-in tuner is very accurate.

While an Ibanez acoustic bass is too big for me to feel comfortably playing it, this shorter neck and smaller body acoustic Glarry is just my size. I like playing it. Very happy! The only thing I did not appreciate was the really short, cheap strap. I am a woman and it did not fit me, way too short like it is for a child. But that was an easy fix.
The little 15 Watt amp is very good. I take it to jams or into my RV for road trips together with "Black Betty", this is how I call my Glarry, This way I can practice while on the road without hauling the heavy gear. 2 thumps up!

Once I adjusted the Truss rod , I'm very happy with my purchase...
Guitar's action and sound are pleasing and the guitar delivers the bang for the buck I'm looking for at present....
Extremely satisfied with purchase, Bass is as described and sounds great. Needed asap for our son's class as his bass broke, the bass was shipped and delivered within a week or so of purchase.
Can say enough about the ease of transaction and fast delivery, will definitely keep in mind for future purchases and would recommend to anyone; don't hesitate, product is as described and will ship quickly. Thank you GlarryMusic!
I got the GB short scale, it arrived when promised. It was packaged up well enough and arrived undamaged even though the outside box looked like it had been bounced and thrown about. With a few minor tweaks on the string height for my preference, it intonated quite well without any trouble. The guitar is as light as any electric guitar I've ever played, I passed it around to my band mates and they were amazed as well with its playability as well as with the overall weight of the bass.

My husband is a professional bassist and I'm a pianist. We set out to find a short scale bass that our daughter could use to learn the bass. The bass guitars we own are way too big for her to be comfortable with as she's still a young child. After reading tons of reviews and watching so many videos, we decided to try this one. So we ordered it, albeit with some trepidation.

We received it yesterday and my husband is surprised that it is actually better than he thought it would be. It does need a professional setup to make it true tonality wise, but he can do that himself. However, one could actually begin learning on this instrument even without that. One of the frets does have a sharp edge, also something that is easily taken care of. He plugged it into his Fender Bassman 800-watt amp and he was happy with the sound he got with this micro bass. We chose the natural finish because I am thinking of adding a dark blue cosmic vinyl skin to make it into a very nice bass for our daughter to use for learning & studying the bass guitar.
Overall, my husband and I think that it was worth what we paid for it. The adjustments are not a deal-breaker as he likes the challenge. And this is a real instrument! There are several well-known artists who use a short scale bass due to the difference in sound as compared to a standard bass guitar. So we're keeping this one and hope that it will become a part of our musical family.
Just got my Jazz Bass. Only 3 day to get here. Packed well and it looks, sounds and plays incredible. Very happy with this purchase and I highly recommend Glarry Products.
This is perfect for my purposes. I normally play Guitar, but needed an "emergency bass" to leave in the car at all times, in case my bass player doesn't show up at our twice monthly jam.
Got the bass, beautiful. Simple, clean smooth neck. My setup so far is 1) straighten the neck w/ the supplied Allen wrench, lower the action. That's all it took to get it to my preferred "playability".

My first Glarry instrument and I am completely satisfied with this bass; the craftsman quality for an instrument at this price is just unbelievable; the action is just right for my taste, the frets are properly set; I have (brand new) $1,500 basses that I had to file or adjust some frets that were sticking out and I was definitely surprised to not have this problem with the Glarry GJazz; I chose the Burlywood; it's beautiful and the finish is very well done; I'm now, confident with Glarry instru ...My first Glarry instrument and I am completely satisfied with this bass; the craftsman quality for an instrument at this price is just unbelievable; the action is just right for my taste, the frets are properly set; I have (brand new) $1,500 basses that I had to file or adjust some frets that were sticking out and I was definitely surprised to not have this problem with the Glarry GJazz; I chose the Burlywood; it's beautiful and the finish is very well done; I'm now, confident with Glarry instruments and today I ordered another one of their products; I highly recommend the GJazz bass if you're a beginner and don't want to spend a fortune on an instrument you might not stick with, as well as if you're a veteran musician like myself
I have to admit, for the price of this Bass Guitar my expectations were pretty low. But when it arrived and I unboxed it, I was blown away. Of course it arrived de-tuned, the string tension was reduced so the neck wouldn't deform during storage in the warehouse and the shipping time. I downloaded a Bass Tuning App to my phone and had the guitar ready to play in less than 15 minutes.

I downloaded a Bass Tuning App to my phone and had the guitar ready to play in less than 15 minutes. The tone was perfect and I have no idea why other reviewers didn't like the factory installed strings, because I found them to be completely functional and I have no interest in replacing them until they actually wear out. I'm by no means a professional musician, I purchased the Bass to provide backup to my wife's Mandolin and it will be perfect for that function. It is pretty, well made, holds tune, and sounds great, and a great value for the price. What more needs to be said?
This bass arrived in less than perfect shape due to a shipping snafu during literally the hottest days of the year! The fingerboard was extremely dry, and the neck was bowed. After a week of allowing the bass to acclimate to its new home, making daily small adjustments to the truss rod, it was brought into decent relief. Daily applications of Neck Honey brought back the fretboard to acceptable condition. I leveled, crowned, and polished the frets.

Daily applications of Neck Honey brought back the fretboard to acceptable condition. I leveled, crowned, and polished the frets. All of this effort was rewarded with a very easy playing and fun instrument that is great for a guitar player who occasionally picks up a bass, like me. After the basics of playability had been addressed I decided that it would be nice to have a more gutsy tonal palate on tap, so I added a MusicMan-style humbucker in place of the bridge pickup,coil split wiring, a five-way switch, master volume and separate push-pull tone pits that select caps for different tone coloring. Probably not a project that a novice would want to undertake, but it does provide an example of what can be done with this bass. The basic "bones" are good, materials solid, fit and finish is OK - nothing to complain about at this price point. Good instrument for kids or adults looking for a short scale bass.
1st time Guitar purchaser. I purchased this for my 16 year old grand daughter who wants to learn to play bass. The primary reason for this specific guitar is because she is 4'9" and I felt the smaller style would fit her stature better. She had expressed a desire to find a smaller bass as well... so this seemed like the right choice. I watched several reviews on YouTube of various small bass guitars, and this specific guitar GW101 was used by by a 12 year old young woman with the name EllenPlays ...1st time Guitar purchaser.

I watched several reviews on YouTube of various small bass guitars, and this specific guitar GW101 was used by by a 12 year old young woman with the name EllenPlaysBass and she gave it a very solid review. Neither I or my grand daughter have guitar experience, so this purchase was based more on wants, needs and price for an introduction. It must have been a winner! She got it out of the box and started to play it immediately, and her mother indicates it sounds very good. (I am in another state). She loves the Red color, and says it had no visual imperfections or issues. From order to arrival was less than 5 days.
Ok let me start by saying I know nothing about guitars. From what I can tell everything is included w instructions on how to assemble.
My intention was to create a custom one off paint job as an art piece so having a low priced guitar was fine & I love the shape of this. It should go well with the Heavy Metal theme Im planning.
At the last minute a friend advised me to get some better hardware so Ill be replacing some of the included hardware with higher end gear.

So far Im amped.
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.
