For the price, you can't ask for a whole lot more. The amp isn't perfect for a bass and mine came without lower pickups, for which I was offered the FAQ page and a $10 credit. But it's super affordable and a decent guitar, I can't wait to hear her with the pickups where they belong.

After all the glowing reviews and impressive youtube videos, I decided to give this a try. I wasn't expecting much for $90, but this was nothing like the basses I saw on youtube. The strings were unplayable. They felt like rat-tail files. The mounting holes for the pickup screws were too far apart, so the assembler put the screws in at an angle. This drove the pickups down into the cavity where they were jammed on the angled screws. I had to fill two holes with epoxy (one for each pickup) and re ...

Its decent for the price, the neck has no oil in the wood. The B string was already falling apart and does not resonate well. Frets are set nicely, build is good. Not playable out of the box at all. Need to finish doing a set up but that is to be expected for a $150 bass.

Overall the bass is pretty nice. It's put together well and plays great. The one (big) problem is the electronics are messed up. Each knob acts as a volume AND tone control which makes it really difficult to dial in a tone. I haven't looked in the cavity yet, but I figure they must all be wired together for this to be happening. I like the bass enough to keep it, but not enough to use it until I get the wiring fixed.

I'm a long term guitar player and wanted to pick up the bass. I bought the Glarry over the Monoprice and a few others based on reviews that gave it glowing scores for frets, finish and playability. While I was overall impressed with the instrument (with the obligatory caveat "at this price"), I was very disappointed in the fingerboard and frets. First off, the fingerboard had no finish whatsoever on it - no sanding sealer, no poly, varnish, oil etc. It was just raw wood that had not been finish sanded - there was wood "fuss" everywhere. I'm also a very long term woodworker with a full shop in my garage and work with maple a lot, and this was raw wood. The fret board soak mineral spirits right up. That was not true for the neck which has an "OK" finish. Worse, the fret ends, while not having any sprout, looked like they had been ground down with an 80 grit sanding wheel - they were extremely rough and overall poorly finished (see photos). The fret leveling was so bad the guitar was virtually unplayable. Seven frets had to be leveled and 3 of those a very significant amount. There was also some sort of brownish gunk near the ends of a number of frets that I am assuming is some sort of glue or epoxy they used to seat the frets, but this is minor and just a cosmetic item that has no affect on playability. Fortunately, I am fairly experienced in guitar set up. I've set up and worked on frets, etc. on over 20 guitars in my own collection, several band mates and friends and two guitar instructors. I've also made two guitars, though I've never made a neck from scratch. Of all those guitars, this one was by far the most poorly finished fret board and frets of any I have ever seen, and that includes a Monoprice Tele and a very cheap Rocket Strat I used to create a collapsible guitar that would fit in carry in luggage. So, even by "cheap" guitars standards, this one was nothing less than horrible. And that 80 grit grinder wheel they took to the frets? well they also ground away some of the fingerboard leaving a nice increasing width bevel from the nut to the end of the fret board - see photo. However, after about 5 hours of fret work with proper end and crowning files, fret erasers, gray pads, 800 grit wet/dry and 0000 SS wool, re-profiling the edges of the fret board to remove the bevel and and 8 coats of Tru Oil with a lot of between-coats sanding, the neck is near perfect and feels amazing. Then on to the formal set up. To my pleasant surprise, the intonation was nearly spot on, the string height was about perfect and the neck relief was just a tiny bit too much, but that is entirely my preference. The guitar with the Wilkinson PUPs actually sounds great. The electronics are, as expected, very tiny and low end, but they do not hinder the sound of the guitar. I will likely replace them with 250K/500K liners/audio taper CTS pots, but that my preferred set up and I've done similar to some of my guitars that cost 20 times what this guitar costs, so that is no reflection on the value of this guitar. The electronics do not "need" to be replaced. Overall, now that I've put a lot of work into this bass, I really like it and it is [now] very playable. The overall finish is great and it fits in with all my other guitars hanging on hooks in my studio room. I can't give the guitar a 5-star review because this guitar was far from playable or acceptable as it arrived and most people would not be able to correct the deficiencies necessary to make it playable. It's possible mine was an outlier that they threw together with a non-QC'd neck, but because the fingerboard was unfinished and just raw wood and the poor fret work that made this guitar unplayable, I can only give it a 3-start review. I highly recommend anyone who buys this guitar to know how to check fret level and be aware you might have to finish the fingerboard yourself (an unfinished maple fingerboard will look horrible after a short while from grease, dirt and oils from your fingers). If you do not know how to do this or how to check it, I highly recommend you either buy another brand or have it checked by a professional because if you do not, you are very likely to get very frustrated at not being able to make it sound "correct" - you'll get a lot of fret buzz and may not be able to play some notes at all. If you do know how to correct these types of deficiencies or know someone who can, I think this is an excellent base bass project instrument. Once properly finished, it is a very good value for the money. It's unfortunate that Glarry puts out guitars with the level of defects I saw in my copy. If the photos load, they show the fret ends and bevel before being worked on, the guitar mid-"fixing" and the completed fret board profile and fret end finishing. The fret ends could have been better, but would have taken more time than the bass was worth - it is only a $120 bass.

I ordered this base on Friday July 8th and it arrived on Monday July 10th, very quick. The only issue I have with the ordering process is that I did not receive any kind of order confirmation email, not what i am used to but hey with such quick delivery who really cares. The reason for the 3 star review is that my bass arrived with a bent tuner on the "G" string and I am unable to get the "lobe " of the tuner to set properly. This made tunning a little difficult because I started with the "E" st ...

Update 7/18/2022 I was contacted by Glarry and initially requested a replacement for the broken tuner, Glarry instead offered a $10.00 refund so I could replace the tuner. I replied that I would prefer they send a new tuner so it would match the existing tuners. For reasons unknown to me Glarry did not want to send a tuner so I found a set of tuners on Amazon for $20.00 so Glarry refunded that amount. If I could I would change my initial review from a 3 star to a 4 star but the site won't let me ...

This bass arrived last week, build quality and finish are nice, but it has terrible fret buzz. Upon examination, I see that the cheap plastic nut is ground down WAY too far, so, I will have to replace it!

I already have a Glarry P style bass, and it worked great right out of the box! The fit and finish of the Glarry Burning Fire bass is great. It had considerable fret buzz, so I bought a new nut, as the factory nut was cut way too low. A Glarry customer service rep contacted me and they refunded me enough to have the nut replaced. Thanks, Glarry, as you went the extra mile!
