Glarry GIB Bass Guitar Full Size 4 String Burlywood Black Sunset

on July 05,2020

Super pleased with the quality and playability. Would be a bargain at double the price. I was surprised how light this model is, after seeing reviews of the P and J models which noted "neck dive." No such problem with this model. Very pleased with it.

I own 2 Glarry guitars. One bass, one guitar. They are a great value for the money. Are they as good as a $2,000 guitar? No. But they are great for a new player. They are fun to play, Light. You can upgrade them and make them great. You should put new strings on them at least. Maybe file the ends of the frets. If you put new Tuning pegs and pickups for a grand total of $200 in upgrades =$300 it would be as good as a $2,000 guitar to 99% of listeners. I want to buy 5 more, but my wife i ...

I read and watched many reviews prior to purchasing this bass, so i was expecting to really enjoy it and appreciate it's quality for such a budget price. Well, when i received it, I was still surprised at how awesome this bass really is. I'm a first time bass player, but play and own many 6 string electric and acoustic guitars so i can definitely spot quality. This bass has it! The fit and finish are spot on with no cosmetic flaws. The pickups themselves had become unadhered to the pickup ho ...

I read and watched many reviews prior to purchasing this bass, so i was expecting to really enjoy it and appreciate it's quality for such a budget price. Well, when i received it, I was still surprised at how awesome this bass really is. I'm a first time bass player, but play and own many 6 string electric and acoustic guitars so i can definitely spot quality. This bass has it! The fit and finish are spot on with no cosmetic flaws. The pickups themselves had become unadhered to the pickup housing in shipping so i did have to superglue them before i was able to play the bass. Easy enough. After noodling around with the bass a bit i feel that it's very playable. It's very lightweight which i can appreciate b/c i'm a small statured female. The neck is quite large (something i'm not used to with my guitars) but i can still reach the E string easily enough. The fretwork is above average with no sharp frets. As for the tone I can't really comment on since this is the first bass i've played. But paired with a small Fender Rumble 15, the sound is crisp and clear and fret buzz is very minimal. The buzzing is probably attributable to my novice playing. All in all, I'm extremely happy with my purchase!

I'm gunna be 100% honest here. As a luthier, there are a few things that caught my attention. The neck pocket wasn't routed good as it showed gaps when the neck is on. The neck heel was poorly done. The neck moves in the pocket when bolted which it should never do. The paint chips and flakes easily. The wood is spongy. Thankfully I am a luthier and can fix these issues no problem with little money. With those issues fixed and with some EMG pickups in, it's a great bass for the price. My ra ...

My rating is out of the box with the price point. Out of the box: It sounds decent but not great. Quality issues. Fixed: Sounds great and plays like an $800 bass.

Neck came a little warped and the frets need work. The bridge saddle screws are all different sizes so set up is tedious. Pots are wonky and short out the pickups I'd you turn one off the other cuts in and out. The nut is cut kinda low. The pickup height screws don't move and the pickups came crooked.

Customer service offered a $10 refund after I made this review. I declined. They gave me $35 back. I can partially repair the instrument with that but the neck will still be warped. I'm glad my kid doesn't know that it isn't supposed to sound like a banjo on the 3rd and fifth frets.

GREAT QUALITY GREAT PRICE! I started playing bass in the early 90's. I've gone through quite a few bass guitars. I first purchased a fretless bass and a lil amp through Glarry & was so impressed I bought another model as well. Highly recommend.

Can't complain about the value. It's beautiful to look at, the PJ pickups along with roto-like medium strings sound beautiful, and 24 frets are all one can ask for. I did spend much time lowering the action and straightening the neck. But the adjustability is there. There is an odd wiring error where either tone know does the same thing to either or both pickups. Will be reviewing and changing the wiring down the road. Also disappointed in the tuners, which do feel too cheap. Lots of play before ...

There is an odd wiring error where either tone know does the same thing to either or both pickups. Will be reviewing and changing the wiring down the road. Also disappointed in the tuners, which do feel too cheap. Lots of play before gripping and tightening or loosening. The tuning drifts, but I may still just be breaking it in. Is there any way of lubricating or tightening the tuners?
