Glarry GIB Bass Guitar 4 String Red Pearl Guard w/20W Amplifier Black Green

on September 09,2023

I'm only giving 4 stars because I'm not sure of the sound quality. It shipped very quickly. Arrived in a carefully packed box. My daughter gets lots of compliments on the color. She took it to school to tune and play, so I've yet to hear it play. Overall happy with my purchase thus far.

The guitar looks nice and the functionality is solid. However, the pick guard is a printed texture "red pearl" which isn't a big deal. The deal breaker is the mirror-backed plastic piece that covers the volume knob and the cable jack. It looks like metal in the picture (and like every other guitar on the market, cheap or expensive, it should be). This piece of plexiglass is the Achille's heel of the whole rig. You have to hold it down to keep it from flexing too much when unplugging the guitar ...

I get that it is an affordable instrument, but that piece of plastic is going to break in a year or less, regardless of how much it is babied. If not for that, this value bass guitar would easily get five stars. A five inch piece of chrome metal was a weird place to "cheap-out" and swap in a junk plastic part.

My buddy must have gotten really lucky with his previous purchases.. I opened this thing super excited and the finish is GARBAGE.. bubbles and bumps in the paint, there's a decent gouge on the pickguard, the neck is unfinished in some most areas like it was barely touched with sandpaper. But this is just cosmetics it's not the main issues I still woulda given 4 stars if the feedback wasn't AWFUL and the thing would stay in tune. For the price at least I learned a valuable lesson. Cheap is cheap ...

Cheap is cheap no matter what the company says about their standards and values

Excellent customer service, hopefully this is reflected in quality control in the future

So overall I am a little disappointed in the way this bass came. For one, the pick guard came already scratched, underneath the plastic protective coating. Rough handling before packaging? Seems like it. Action is pretty high, so not something I could play without a lot of fret buzz before getting a setup. The neck has pitting along where the D string runs and a pretty heavy metallic scratch, easily noticeable on the 10th fret. It tuned up nicely but as I said, the buzz is too high to play ...

The neck has pitting along where the D string runs and a pretty heavy metallic scratch, easily noticeable on the 10th fret. It tuned up nicely but as I said, the buzz is too high to play out of the box. The amp is good enough for home use and you can hear while practicing. The cord was either defective or just not very good because I experienced buzz with this cord while other brands did not do the same. I really wanted to love this bass but because of the combination of more than usual cosmetic flaws out of the box combined with the neck pitting that will become an issue in the future, I would skip this bass. I am hoping Glarry makes this right. Maybe I just got a not so good one.

Glarry Manager Lynn reached out to me and solved all my issues. Because of Glarry's outstanding customer service I will be purchasing more Glarry products in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and a half stars.

I was blown away by this purchase. The bass is lightweight as expected and the neck has a thinner profile than the traditional "Glarry neck." I have not taken the time to fully set it up yet but it is beautiful. The Fret work is good right out of the box. No sharp edges and the bass is playable. The strings are good quality as well.
