Glarry GP Fretless Electric Bass Guitar 4 String Burlywood Sunset

The bass itself is great and plays well and sounds good. Taking away 1 star for the *awful* instrument cable that shipped with it. I'd pay just a bit more to have it come with a much better cable.

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.

First thing I noticed was the strings were not centered between the pickup poles. The supplied bridge was just a bit to narrow for the string spacing and those pickups. I had a 17 mm bridge and it solved that part of the problem, the other was the Pickups were set too deep to be really responsive on highs, just a bit of plastic-foam under each allowed me to bring them up and achieve better balance between the 2 pickups. I had some issues with strings staying in tune put some New GHS 130--45 Med ...

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 ...

Thank you for your feedback. I will report that the relevant personnel have improved the quality control.

I give this 4 stars because nothing is perfect, I wouldn't even give my Gibson 5 out of 5. But this is as close to perfect of a starter bass setup that I've ever seen. I received the instrument a fair 3/4 days after it shipped and it came in a fairly undamaged box! The yellow color is much more mustard than the bright yellow pictured, but I definitely prefer the darker color! Not a lot of buzzing up and down the board and the pickups are extremely solid for the price. Strings ain't bad either. ...

The finish on the guitar was more of a fade and the blue didn't come in towards the middle. Everything else was amazing though

A great bass for the price! Super fast shipping, Tuning keys are bit stiff, the compensating nut has sharper edges than I'd like (it can be an issue with thread bindings or with tape-wound strings), and the fingerboard is bare wood. Still, sounds great and totally worth it.

The nut was broken off on the bottom string(prob due to shipping). Tried a couple emails but haven't gotten a response. Really just want a replacement part. Other than that it's a fun and cool looking bass. And great quality for the price! Definitely 5 star if it wasn't for the damage.

Had waited some time for this bass to restock, grabbed it quickly when it did! Sounds great after a few minor adjustments, as is the case for any standard instrument. Future plans are using this to upgrade later down the road. No issues and quick shipping are the closing statements for this beast. My suggestion? Grab it while you can.

Horrible experience so far never got the guitar, called FedEx and I was told that it was shipped so cheap that its not a priority and it cam sit in their post till it gets a turn. Tried to contact glarry of FB and was told thats not sometthey can deal with. Tried to find a phone number to call and of course Glarry refrains from putting a phone number to contact them on their website. My advise do not buy directly from them get it on Amazon. What a mistake

We are so sorry for delay. We will contact you ASAP, or you can call us: +1 (609)225-4158. Glarry

I'm really liking this bass. When I received it, part of the nut was cracked off. I contacted customer service and they didn't have a replacement nut but they told me if I purchased one myself that they would reimburse me. I purchased a nut and installed it myself and it plays great. Customer service came through and reimbursed me. Great bass and great customer service. Thanks Glarry! Thanks Bully Thakidd for recommending Glarry basses, so much bang for the buck!

Best string to body tone I've ever heard. Bright, bottomy, clearly enunciated. Wow! what are those strings made of? A beautiful, well thought out bass. Thank you for your commitment to the music Uncle GLarry. I am ordering a Burning Fire bass and full size case right now. I am The Celebrity Bassist Jason Laughner and I definitely approve this message.

I was very pleased with my purchase of the Glarry GP Electric Bass. It arrived on time with no damage. It is my first bass. I was going to buy a used one so I wouldn't have a huge investment in an instrument I didn't like to play. But as inexpensive as this one was I went with new! It plays great and came with everything I needed. I would recommend Glarry to anyone. DP

The Glarry transaction was flawless! The Bass Guitar arrived about 12 days after I ordered it. The guitar was in excellent condition upon arrival and could be played, out of the box, after tuning it. However, one pick guard screw was missing! I contacted Glarry for a replacement screw, to which they immediately responded with the sad news that no screw replacement was available but offered a $5 rebate which I accepted as a settlement. I conducted a complete setup on this bass guitar and it ...

The bass is beyond my expectations. Shipping was fast. If you are looking for a bass to start playing, this is it. A few simple upgrades and it would compare to the more expensive guitars. The only regret I have is that I didn't order a hard case with it

As a beginner, I just wanted to purchase a quality bass guitar at an affordable price. After reading many reviews of the Glarry bass...I feel the Glarry GP electric bass hits the mark. The bass is quite a looker. Packaging was excellent, and the bass arrived in a matter of just days after purchase. There was not a blemish on the bass. Setup and tuning was a breeze...and when plugged in the bass sounds wonderful. In one week I managed to complete level 1 of my bass online lessons. Like many ...
