Anything I type becomes gushing about this bass, so I will just break it down without going over the top. I am not a pro, just a dude with other bass guitars of various quality.

Anything I type becomes gushing about this bass, so I will just break it down without going over the top. I am not a pro, just a dude with other bass guitars of various quality.
1. Packaging was solid foam inside cardboard. The bass and amp were unmarked and undisturbed.
2. The bass body is ultralight, so there is neck dive. Visually, it is a work of art.
3. Tuning only and playing with the stock strings resulted in bright sounds coming in strong and bass pretty weak. Once the pickup and string height were both adjusted, it sounded much better. Absolute zero buzz at any configuration of the bass controls.
4. The "20 watt" amp does not put out much bass. I have had a 15 watt Behringer thunderbird that could drown this thing easily at less than 1/2 volume. The amp sounds clear and seems to register the high notes really well, it's just really lacking in the low end. My only guess is the cabinet is too small for the speaker to be effective.
5. Strap is light and small, but will work in a pinch. All other accessories work properly. I'm not a big pick guy so I can't judge.
6. I had some questions for Glarry and they responded quick and professionally via email.
7. The closest comparison for the overall sound of this bass is the song "Holiday in Cambodia" by the Dead Kennedys.
This bass is perfect for beginners. It is fun, easy to handle, and sounds good. It is worth every penny. I plan to purchase more models in the future.
