Glarry GIB Bass Guitar Full Size 4 String Burly Wood Black Sunset

Product reviewed is the GIB Bass with Sunset finish. Very pleased with the look. The only flaw I observed is a small nick on the top edge of the headstock, which doesn't bother me at all. I made no adjustments to the setup. The strings were properly de-tuned for shipping, so it took a little time to set the right tension, but I'm happy with how it stays in tune (this bass has sealed tuners). The neck is unfinished - sort of like a baseball bat with no lacquer. It is neck-heavy, so using a high-f ...

Product reviewed is the GIB Bass with Sunset finish. Very pleased with the look. The only flaw I observed is a small nick on the top edge of the headstock, which doesn't bother me at all. I made no adjustments to the setup. The strings were properly de-tuned for shipping, so it took a little time to set the right tension, but I'm happy with how it stays in tune (this bass has sealed tuners). The neck is unfinished - sort of like a baseball bat with no lacquer. It is neck-heavy, so using a high-friction strap helps to compensate when I'm standing. I usually play with it on my lap, and it's quite comfortable that way. The frets are what I'd call vintage-style (not jumbo) and the edges are neither super-smooth nor are they sharp. The angled headstock and passive pickups cater to my personal preferences. Having Volume and Tone knobs for both P and J gives you plenty of flexibility. Your amp setup is going to have the biggest impact on your sound. Variables such as EQ, Overdrive, Compression, and Noise Gate allow for endless possibilities. My best experience so far was playing straight into a Reverend Hellhound (a tube guitar amp designed similar to the old Fender Bassman) in 60w mode with very little gain and little or no reverb. It sounded fabulous. Adjusting the amp's bass, mid, and treble knobs gave me just what I wanted to hear. I'm happy with the output of the pickups as well. If you notice obnoxious hum, try reducing the output of the bridge pickup (worked for me). Glarry, you done good! Glad I got mine for $89.99 before they sold out.

Received in great shape, quickly and well packed. I did a tiny bit of setup on the bass, but basically it only required tuning. Finish of the wood was excellent and there were no fit/finish flaws at all. I'm just amazed that you can get an instrument this decent for under a hundred bucks ! Came with a dust case, tools, cable and strap. The accessories weren't first quality, but all were usable and remarkable again at such a low price. I'm looking for another Glarry now.

I've had great luck with these relatively unknown guitar brands. Currently have a Wolf (unbelievable !), a Harley-Benton acoustic, an Artist TC-59 "telecaster" and a few others.

This is my first bass, and I'm really liking it. It required major lowering of the string action and a couple of frets were high, but a little bit of setup and fret leveling made it play very nicely. I would definitely buy another Glarry instrument.

Ordered a GIB Bass in Burrlywood finish. Got it in 4 days! Box as in good shape. I was pleasantly surprised it was perfect. Neck was straight, string height was very close and intonation was spot on. Good job Glarry. I was so pleased with this entry level bass that I turned around an ordered a GST 6 String guitar in sunburst finish. It arrived as quickly as the bass did and in the same shape. I am very pleased and now have a great pair of playable instruments without breaking the bank. Thanhs Gl ...

i like the bass guitar alot. it has a minor blemish on the neck near the headstock. but other than that it is nice. I gave it 4 stars because the 1/4 in jack caused a bit of buzzing, once i changed it everything was fine. Plays great and stays in tune. Just a suggestion, on a black guitar it would be nice to see all black hardware. I changed all the hardware and the strings to "black it out". see attached picture. Hope you like.

I bought this as my first bass and it's great for the price. No obvious problems so far and it's definitely a good cheap option.
