I ordered this bass guitar as a gift for my son's 14th birthday. It arrived securely packaged and it looks beautiful! We were greatly impressed by the quality right out of the box! It came with everything he needed (I ordered a stand, pics and a tuner separately), so he was able to use it right away. The amp is small, but just right for a beginner...it's not too loud and can easily be transported for travel between home & school. I will definitely order his next guitar from Glarry Music.

I ordered this for a friend for Xmas. It shipped fast, and was packed very carefully. I removed the bass, looked it over and found it to pretty impressive. There were a couple of fish eyes in the paint on back, but I found no other defects The neck was straight, bridge was straight, nut was cut perfectly. Electronics worked perfectly, no buzz or feedback. Before tuning, I lubed the tuners, they seemed pretty tight. I highly recommend lubing the tuners. After tuning, I plugged into a amp I alread ...I ordered this for a friend for Xmas. It shipped fast, and was packed very carefully.

After tuning, I plugged into a amp I already have and started playing, I was and am very impressed. I have not put it down for very long, and I decided to keep it for myself!! I ended up ordering another one to complete my Xmas gift. I did use the 20w amp that came with the package and all I can say is it will be good for my friend to learn/practice with, but it is by no means top notch. Didn't expect it to be.
I've wanted a Jazz style bass for quite a while. Since I'm not a great player (mediocre would be an apt description of my abilities) and bass is not a primary instrument, I did not want to buy anything expensive for my first bass. So, when I saw this at such a price, I could not pass it up this time. I had seen many inexpensive bass guitars with a P/J pickup configuration (split coil neck, single coil bridge, ala Precision bass and Jazz bass respectively) , but I wanted a straight Jazz pickup se ...I've wanted a Jazz style bass for quite a while.

So, when I saw this at such a price, I could not pass it up this time. I had seen many inexpensive bass guitars with a P/J pickup configuration (split coil neck, single coil bridge, ala Precision bass and Jazz bass respectively) , but I wanted a straight Jazz pickup set. I got it with this instrument.
I some ways I was disappointed, in others I was pleased.
The disappointment came in the neck shape and size, and, to a lesser degree, the electronics. First, this has a very big neck, very fat, very wide. I was looking for the narrow neck of a Jazz type bass, this is not it. That being said, it is well made, and quite solid. Even with the bigger neck, I have little problem banging out notes on this up and down. Second, this is expected at the price, the pickups are quite micro phonic and a little noisy with some overdrive. The main reason for this is they are not wax potted which is quite reasonable for a bass in this price range. A simple pickup upgrade would fix this.
The good. It has the Jazz bass growl and mid range punch I was looking for out of a bass, and with a single coil, Jazz style, middle (or neck, depends on how you say it and what you call it) it does not have the smooth boomy sound of a P-style bass pickup, much tighter and more mid range sound. The setup is good enough to play, but it could be better, again, this is to be expected on such a low priced instrument, room for improvement. The fit and finish are very good, no issues that I have found as of yet. I love the natural, unpainted, look of the body, reminiscent of the F-type Jazz basses from the '70s. I am an experienced tech with as soldering iron and have replaced many, many pickups in my guitars over the years, haven't opened it up yet. Overall, this is good stuff.
This Bass is such a beautiful delicacy. Especially for starters. I love everything about this. Nothing has upset me, I'm even going to use it in a gig. Trust me, the is the best budget bass you can get.
As a beginner on the Bass I bought the Fender By Squire along with the amp... Costs $300... Notice this bass at the price and said, let me try this for the price! Really impressed and I have the Fender Squire to bring to Bass Class and this one by my bed to practice... This is definitely a good bass to have at a secondary location to practice at a moments notice...I realize I practice more having a second bass because my Fender Squire was in the basement and I had to go from the bedroom upstairs ...As a beginner on the Bass I bought the Fender By Squire along with the amp...

This is definitely a good bass to have at a secondary location to practice at a moments notice...I realize I practice more having a second bass because my Fender Squire was in the basement and I had to go from the bedroom upstairs and down but now I just lean over and practice an hour a day because it's so convenient..... Location! Location! Location! Lol
For This Price I Could Not Be More Happy. I prefer Basswood for tone so thats a bonus for me, i prefer the bare wood on my necks so thats also a bonus for me. The neck pocket could be a little tighter, the pick guard has one little spot thats not perfect and the rout for the bridge puckup isnt perfect but none of that really matters. It sounds really deep, warm and transparent with no ground noise when both single coils are the same volume. It feels especially great to hold or stand with becau ...For This Price I Could Not Be More Happy.

It sounds really deep, warm and transparent with no ground noise when both single coils are the same volume. It feels especially great to hold or stand with because its lightweight basswood and the neck is thick like a C cut- these two aspects together really help round out the tone in the low mids. I have zero regrets. Perfect for beginners or Pros who know its not the gear but the player that makes all the difference. Now im going to order the P Bass.
I was very eager to get my hands on one of these guitars, as I had seen a few YouTube unboxing videos. I was not disappointed. It arrive quickly and in perfect condition. I quickly tuned it up (not set it up as the was done already). I am not gonna tell you that this is a good guitar for the price, I'm gonna tell you that this is a good guitar!!! I am thinking of going back for the P Bass version
Normally I don't like giving anything a 5 star rating, but when I consider what I paid for my Glarry Pbass (blue) and what I got for the money, I'm very happy.
It arrived surprisingly quickly. It was undamaged in shipping. I looked it over and found only one item with a flaw. One of the pickups had fallen back from it casing. I took it apart and re-glued it back into it's proper position in the case and everything works great.

I've actually found I enjoy playing my Glarry a bit more than my Yamaha, which was four times the cost.
Amazing bass for the cost. Just amazing. Very happy with this purchase. I'm thinking about buying their Jbass just because. lol
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.
