Glarry GP Fretless Electric Bass Guitar 4 String Burlywood Sunset

on November 22,2020

I've been playing for over 55 years...guitar, bass, keys even banjo at times. I grabbed this 4 string fretless at Glarry's amazing price and I figured I'd give it a whirl. It did not disappoint. I've owned a number of brand name basses and this one holds its own beautifully especially as a fretless. Of course I'll set it up with my fave strings and get the action down to where I like it...that being said, it's absolutely playable right out of the box. Can't wait to try more of their products!

I am a musician but not a bass player so cannot judge from the point of view of a pro. However, the instrument fulfills my needs and I'm practicing with it daily. It's built solidly and needed no adjustment in order for me to play it. It was a good buy and serves my needs. Thank you, Glarry. Jim Ryan

The Good: This is a steal for the money. Out of the box it was a playable, solid instrument that a beginner could learn fretless bass on. It holds tune well, has minimal neck dive, and good quality wood. I was surprised and how light the bass felt and the neck was thin and fast. The pickup is solid and wiring was well done. The fit and finish was excellent. I would recommend this to someone wanting to learn fretless. The Bad: The nut is pure junk. I replaced it with a bone nut for under $10. T ...

The fit and finish was excellent. I would recommend this to someone wanting to learn fretless. The Bad: The nut is pure junk. I replaced it with a bone nut for under $10. Took all of 2 min and a bit of glue. Also, the fret markers are not where the note is. I had to drill and install markers in the correct position. About an hour of work if you know what youre doing. I, personally, don't like flying blind on a fretless. The big problem for me though is that the truss rod was seized. I didn't realize it unlit after i modified the neck so there is no returning this bad boy. I tried all the tricks but its isn't going anywhere. I put so much pressure on it that it stripped the adjustment point on the rod. Conclusion: For the money, its an A+. I think taking this instrument to a good luthier (or being a good luthier) is an important cost to factor into this purchase. I sunk about $70 in total between upgrades and strings, . I thinks that pretty good considering its still half the cost of the Squier or Ibanez competitor. I would like to see an upgraded version of this for maybe $20 more. Get a decent nut in there and clean up the quality control and this thing would be unbeatable in this price range.

It has been 12 days and the bass still has not left their facility! Guess I will just cancel the order.

A perfectly decent bass, good value

Awesome value! Of course there are a few issues: The fingerboard seems a little soft. My impulse is to want to put some kind of finish on it. The lack of fret lines on the side of the fretboard makes playing intonation more of a challenge than it needs to be. I'm not sure why they would bother to put the dots but not lines where you actually put your fingers. The pickups (I assume cheap ceramics, though I haven't yet looked) lack the low end definition that I'm used to. I ordered some P-Bass pic ...

The pickups (I assume cheap ceramics, though I haven't yet looked) lack the low end definition that I'm used to. I ordered some P-Bass pickups as replacements. I had to loosen the truss rod a bit for it to behave properly with some D-Addario tape-wounds I had lying around. After I got everything dialed in it sounds pretty good. As a former Cellist, the lack of fret markers should be surmountable for me. I have to say that you've offered me a challenge and a reason to practice bass instead of just guitar.

Customer service was great ! All of my questions were answered at once. My instrument arrived well packaged and damaged free. The instrument was beautiful and only needed tuning to make music and music is what its about.

Sure, the hardware (tuners, bridge, knobs) are a little on the "affordable" side...however-it plays very well-especially for the price! Most peeps that purchase this bass will probably swap out their own electronics and hardware anyway. And I don't have any complaints about it being too "neck-heavy"...the necks could probably be a smidge thinner in circumference-but, at $99, who's complaining?

This instrument surpasses my expectations. It's solidly built, wonderfully lightweight, metal parts solids, volume and tone have absolutely no static, output is equal to my Fender Jazz Bass USA but it's more fun to play than the Jazz! There are some weird issues at the nut. It's concave which is odd. But for the price, it is a terrific, well built, fun ax

Great bass sounds great and construction is great.
