The bass is good for the price, though the one I received had some issues.
The pickup cavities were not centered with respect to the strings - the neck pickup should have been located 1 mm further towards the G string side, and the bridge pickup should have been located 2 mm towards the E string side.
The action was too high even when the bridge saddles were in the lowest position, so a shim was needed in the neck pocket to lower it.

The bass is good for the price, though the one I received had some issues.
The pickup cavities were not centered with respect to the strings - the neck pickup should have been located 1 mm further towards the G string side, and the bridge pickup should have been located 2 mm towards the E string side.
The action was too high even when the bridge saddles were in the lowest position, so a shim was needed in the neck pocket to lower it.
There were a few frets that needed to be dressed a little to prevent buzzing, but the neck is overall straight, and feels solid (like it won't need lots of truss rod adjustment to maintain the action at the desired height).
One of the height adjustment screws used for the bridge saddles needed to be replaced as the hex wrench wouldn't insert fully (because of a little metal burr that was preventing that).
There were a few noticeable dents in the side of the neck and fingerboard near the nut, and the body wood at the neck pocket had some pretty rough edges were it thins out.
I mentioned these concerns to Glarry, and received partial compensation for my purchase which was fair, in light of the defects and the work I needed to do to get the bass in shape to play.
Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase - especially with the customer support I received.
