This is my second Glarry bass, with the 4 string version in natural finish being my first. Just as the first did, this bass arrived safely, and even still a little in tune. It was set up well with a comfortably low action and no sharp frets. The pickups sound crystal clear even on the low B string. The finish is gorgeous and absolutely worth twice the asking price alone. All in all, both basses are a steal at this price point, and I highly recommend them. Glarry have proven themselves to me as a ...

Glarry have proven themselves to me as a trustable, quality manufacturer, and I hope they'll continue to do the same for you. Keep it up!

I love My Glarry 5 string Bass, My luthier was impressed with the bass also, especially after i told him the total price plus shipping in a few days. I must admit, I did change out the pickups to Hum-cancelling pickups i ordered from Ali-express. That and a setup ,was all i did to the bass after it was purchased. The only negative thing is the gig bag for the 5 string, seems to be the same one for the 4 string, and it barely zips all they way up. Other than that comment, I still love the bass b ...

Other than that comment, I still love the bass being light, feels and sounds great!!! If you are looking for a 5 string to try out to learn on and become familiar with as a player, This is the bass to buy.

Again, I love this also. But my fret board has this chipped off part that makes me really sad about it. Just want to know how I can get this fixed and feel better about my first purchase with glarry

This seems like a decent 5-string bass. Be prepared to buy a new gig bag or case for it, though, as the cheap provided gig bag will not fit the instrument. The 5th tuning machine makes the headstock too big.

We appreciate your feedback and I will let the technical department follow up.
The zipper side of the bag is the back. Please install it in reverse.If you have any questions, please contact our customer service email [email protected]

Not happy at all, I know it's only 130 dollars but I did expect a little better quality control, I don't think I'll buy again.

This review is based on the sum of its issues compared to the price. Things I found wrong with it: Fret ends are slightly sharp, nut is sharp and cheap, finish on body was not quite buffed out properly, cheapest bridge I've seen on any bass, volume and tone knobs don't work properly together (wiring issue or cheap pots), strings don't align with pickups very well, pickup screws installed and different angles, NECK DIVE, extremely light body (causing neck dive), not set up properly, some buzzing ...
This review is based on the sum of its issues compared to the price. Things I found wrong with it: Fret ends are slightly sharp, nut is sharp and cheap, finish on body was not quite buffed out properly, cheapest bridge I've seen on any bass, volume and tone knobs don't work properly together (wiring issue or cheap pots), strings don't align with pickups very well, pickup screws installed and different angles, NECK DIVE, extremely light body (causing neck dive), not set up properly, some buzzing. Things that I found were decent: Overall appearance, back of the neck was big but feels really smooth, the bass sounded good through rig, overall the bass is light, stays in tune well enough (had not played it very hard yet). Things I found that were good: The price.
Overall, everything about this bass can be changed or tweaked for it to play better except for one, the light body. I plan on replacing the nut, filing the frets, either rewire or replace the pots, and probably put a heavier set of strings on it. I would normally put on a hi-mass bridge but the body doesn't warrant it. I can't imagine the wood in this body makes any difference in the sound. I think it is all pickup. The pickups do sound pretty good for stock pickups, but that could also be my rig. The neck is thick but I'm ok with that. The back of the neck may have some oil or penetrating finish on it but it does feel unfinished and my hand slides easily on it. And because of the Jazz style body shape, it's comfortable to play when sitting down. All that being said, the overall feel of the bass is cheap. I'm going to use this bass for when I play or practice playing songs that are tuned down. I am not really a 5 string player nor do I want to be. I wanted to buy an inexpensive bass for the tunings and this will work fine for me. I would not recommend it to be used as a platform to build a better bass, the body is just to light. For the $134 I paid for this, it's worth every penny but not one more. As a starter bass, someone would have to set it up properly and fix some issues. I consider myself an intermediate player, and if this was hanging up in a store, I would not have purchased it. I wanted to see what the hype on the internet was all about on these Glarry basses. And maybe I got one with a lack of real quality control, but, for the most part I would not recommend it. I did give it 3 stars though, due to the fact that for the price you could buy a bass that is playable or tweaked to something better.

I had high hopes after reading the other reviews. After a lot of work, I have a playable instrument. First the bad points...The back of the neck has a big dip in the nut-1st fret area where it was over sanded that looks and feels awful. The bridge (and nut) are too narrow for the fingerboard. The pickups are non-standard width so aftermarket upgrades will not fit. The bass is incredibly neck heavy whether with a strap or sitting. There were many rough spots on the back of the neck. The composite ...

The composite fingerboard was rough.
I put on lighter tuners, rolled the fingerboard edges, filed sharp fret ends, completely shielded the pickups and cavities, changed the electronics to a vol, blend, two band eq and switched to a higher mass, wider bridge. I will flatten the back of the neck.
