Very beautiful guitar! It plays very nicely, the strings for the most part are smooth, and the cord it comes with is very nice. The bag is pretty cheap material so i recommend buying a better case, and the pick feels cheap as well. But for the price of the guitar, it is well worth it!

I really love this bass! The amp cord is surprisingly good also. I'm going to purchase the p bass next. Lots of fun upgrades you can do to these guitars and not worry. Glarry makes quality guitars at an extremely good price point and you shouldn't hesitate to buy one. I have a Fender American Jazz bass in a case to keep it nice and protected.

Sure, my Fender is silky smooth and has been through the Plek machine and has La Bella flat wounds, but I enjoy playing the Glarry short scale bass too.

Short scale with some modifications. Lots of fun!

I ordered a Burlywood short scale bass. I was alerted by email that the order was placed, and the shipping information. The tracking link showed the package went to the Yung distribution center. The tracker did not update for over 8 days. I sent an email to Glarry asking what was going on. I received an immediate email stating it was an unknown issue, and it I wanted to resend the order.

This time, Glarry sent it via FedEx and I received the bass the next day! The Glarry Customer Service Team was fast and efficient. I was very impressed they resolved the issue very quickly after being informed of a delay. I don't expect every process to be perfect, however, the Glarry CS team corrected the issue with alacrity.

The bass arrived today and it is incredibly excellent for the price! I wish I had this 50 years ago when I was bassing in bands (this is for my daughter). Only thing, the case is too short. I guess it's a standard guitar bag. Requested a longer one from CS. Also, I was unable to track the shipment through PayPal so I emailed customer service at Glarry and they responded with tracking info. That means a lot to me. I'll be buying more stuff.

I bought this to put a Fender fretless neck on it. It worked perfectly. I wanted a black unit but it wasn't available. I was given 10% off to accept the natural finish. The bridge is better than the Fender Bronco. I love it!

on January 22, 2025

The ads arrived quickly. There are no issues with the bass. Plays great. No dead notes or buzzing, or fretting out. For the price I was not expecting it to be this great out of the box.

I got the GB short scale, it arrived when promised. It was packaged up well enough and arrived undamaged even though the outside box looked like it had been bounced and thrown about. With a few minor tweaks on the string height for my preference, it intonated quite well without any trouble. The guitar is as light as any electric guitar I've ever played, I passed it around to my band mates and they were amazed as well with its playability as well as with the overall weight of the bass.

In summation, I'm very happy with this purchase, if you want to buy one for someone wanting to try a bass guitar for a very reasonable price, you won't go wrong with this one.

This is perfect for my purposes. I normally play Guitar, but needed an "emergency bass" to leave in the car at all times, in case my bass player doesn't show up at our twice monthly jam. Got the bass, beautiful. Simple, clean smooth neck. My setup so far is 1) straighten the neck w/ the supplied Allen wrench, lower the action. That's all it took to get it to my preferred "playability". The 30" scale is great for us guitar players use to 25" scales. (Standard bass being 34" which is too lo ...

You will need to adjust the action and intonation before playing,but after that,it plays pretty good,stays in tune,etc. Good quality for the price.

I love my new bass plays well and feels good too!

on March 23, 2024

My order was shipped promptly. The package arrived without any damage; well packed. The build quality was excellent. I changed the low output pickup to suit my Vox headphone amp; to a Musiclily Dual Hot Rail High Output single Coil Humbucker Pickup. I have no gripes of my purchase. Thank you Glarry.

I am very disappointed, it has many defects, which I will show in the photos, but what bothered me the most was that the screw to adjust the neck does not work :( I will never be able to make the adjustment, which is very bad!!, a tuner nut is bent, the bridge makes noise with the vibration of the strings, the body arrived with a knock, also the fit of the neck with the body separates, they could improve the precision, the pickup has very low volume, of course it is an economical product but I h ...

I appreciate the attention you gave me via email, due to the instrument failures, we reached a 50% refund agreement, thank you!

It's hard to believe the quality that this company is able to produce for such a low-cost product. My son is 8, and just beginning his bass journey. As a musician myself, I understand the value of learning on a quality instrument to avoid the frustrations that come along with poor quality. I was suspicious that at this price, I would get something that would impress me, but there were so many good reviews, I decided to go for it. And I am truly impressed.

This is the perfect option for a beginner who isn't necessarily fully committed yet, but wants to take an honest shot at learning. Or for anybody who wants a bass hanging around to mess around with, but doesn't want to spend a lot. Hats off to you Glarry!

I was very impressed with my new Glarry bass...the quality and workmanship was perfect...it was fast and easy it only took a few days to reach my home....

Very impressed with this short scale bass. Arrived quickly and in working order. Decent tone and playability. At the price point it's a steal.

I ordered a Glarry 30in GB Electric Bass Short Scale guitar. I was not happy with its condition. The neck is completely unfinished, raw wood. The wood is so rough that it makes the palm of my hand sore. The volume is extremely soft, even at wide open. The fit of the neck to the body is way off, extremely poor craftsmanship. I have asked for Glarry to remedy this situation, because I bought it, eager to start playing. Very unsatisfied.

on December 09, 2022

I really like this short scale bass, and I'm very glad I bought it. The only problem it had was the output level being VERY VERY low compared to my Glarry GIB 4 and 5 string basses. I got a Musiclily hot rails pickup to replace the original pickup and now it's a perfect instrument. I hope Glarry will re-evaluate their pickup choice for this model.

I loved this instrument. I think it is as good or better than the Fender Squire Bronco which it copies. It came nicely packaged with no damage. Neck and frets were smooth with no rough edges. Volume and tone controls worked well and the sound of the pickup was mellow. The short scale was perfect for my hands. But, I decided to return this instrument, not because of any lack of quality, but because I'm not really a bass player. Like most guitarists, I loved the bass also, but must admit that it w ...

But, I decided to return this instrument, not because of any lack of quality, but because I'm not really a bass player. Like most guitarists, I loved the bass also, but must admit that it wouldn't have much practical use in my guitar "arsenal" and would probably just sit around unused. A bit of arthritis in the clamping hand added to my decision. Nevertheless, if you've been thinking about a shorter scale bass, I would strongly encourage you to buy this one. It's about 100 dollars cheaper than its Fender counterpart and every bit the equal in quality. Let me stress again, I didn't return this item because of lack of quality. If you're looking for a nice Fender styled/sounding short scale bass, you will be pleased with this bass.

Amazing quality for so little money! I don't know how you guys do it. I unboxed and tuned this bass up and right out of the box it sounded good. The fit and finish are excellent. I am an amateur guitar tech, so I am planning on doing some upgrades on this bass. Probably change out the pickup and add another pickup as well. This is a great bass, if you are looking for a platform to experiment with hardware wise. One really nice thing about it is that it is amazingly light! The only down side to t ...

This is a great bass, if you are looking for a platform to experiment with hardware wise. One really nice thing about it is that it is amazingly light! The only down side to that is that the wood is pretty soft, so be really careful not to strip any of the screws. i will probably switch most of them out to the next larger size and length, just to make everything a little stronger.

Great bass for the money

A bit about me first. I have been playing bass since 1990 and have played in live bands and done studio work. I have built and maintained my own instruments for over half that time as well. I bought this bass as a mod platform. I wasn't expecting much, but did expect more than what I received. Out of the box, the neck was decent, no issues. Frets were good with no sprout or sharp edges. Action is a bit high and intonation completely out on all four strings out of the box. Tuning machines are bas ...

I bought this bass as a mod platform. I wasn't expecting much, but did expect more than what I received. Out of the box, the neck was decent, no issues. Frets were good with no sprout or sharp edges. Action is a bit high and intonation completely out on all four strings out of the box. Tuning machines are basic but solid. Body is very beautiful from the front, but has an odd pattern in the wood grain on the back. Went to plug it in and the jack immediately fell inside the body cavity. Nice! Started undoing pickguard screws and found at least half of them already stripped and had to just pull them out with pliers. Pickguard screw at end of pickguard by jack is a full inch long...not a pickguard screw, most likely a bridge screw. Wondering if one of my bridge screws is a pickguard screw. When I begin mods, I will find out. Pickup hole in pickguard is in the wrong place, shifted too far to the treble side. This results in at least a 50% drop in volume on the E string compared to other strings. Has a bit of neck dive, not a lot, but some. Had to tighten the strap buttons to test that as both were very loose out of the box. The gig bag is nothing but a dust cover. No protection. The strap is hardly deserving of the name. Didn't even try the cheap cable. Overall, as a mod platform, it is probably fine for what I am going to be doing with it...that remains to be seen. As an instrument to play right out of the box? I'm not sure I could recommend it. Not with the issues mine had.

In the interest of making things right with me, they offered me a partial refund. I felt that was incredibly generous and an amazing level of customer service. I didn't anticipate that, and certainly didn't expect that for a bass that cost me $110. Customer service is top notch!!

My grandson and I have one we're just learning to play it's awesome thanks.

Got this item as a gift for my son, who already plays bass. He absolutely loves it and is learning to play it with Rocksmith. Great for beginners.
