Thanks

This was a great example of the GIB 5 string Bass. All I did was tune up, and I was off to the races recording into my Audiobox USB 96. The accessories are great, but don't count on any impact protection from the gig bag. I'm new to bass, but intermediately experienced in guitar in a studio setting, and I'd highly recommend this for the price.

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 some issues with strings staying in tune put some New GHS 130--45 Mediums on and tightened the Truss rod a bit to compensate the tension and so far so good. Its a good deal without my modifications.

Delivered on time and in excellent condition. Looks great feels great. Just a tune and minimal set up. Awesome! This is my third Glarry guitar. Have an GST strat and a dreadnought.

Thumpers dream, nice feel, great pickup control and awesome sound. I have average size hands and this neck is easy to navigate as a 5 stringer.

After watching several reviews on Glarry products, I decided to take a chance on a 5 string bass. I am glad I did. Fit and finish are much better than expected. There were some small bits of glue exposed around the pickups but were easily cleaned up and only a minor cosmetic issue. It has kept tune better than expected and intonation was excellent right out of the box. One thing that might bother some people is the linearity of the pots leaves some to be desired but it isn't a deal breaker by an ...

One thing that might bother some people is the linearity of the pots leaves some to be desired but it isn't a deal breaker by any means. All things considered I am well pleased with this instrument. Enough that I will soon be purchasing a Glarry Banjo. Thanks Glarry for affordable quality products.

Great bass

on August 12, 2020

It's fine for its price. For beginners and for someone who is in tight budget, this is probably okay with you. Intonation and action are okay too.

on August 04, 2020

This is a nice 5 String Bass. The neck is straight. The action is good. The frets are well finished. The strings and tuning machines are fine. All it needed was a little polishing of the back of the neck then it was ready to go. It is an excellent value.

I'm a NEW FAN 4 LIFE of Glarry!!! I LOVE my 5 string Bass!!! Anyone that gets a beautiful Bass that sounds great and dares complain...must be insane!!! Awesome job Glarry!!! I have a hook on the wall waiting to order my next 4 string Bass or a guitar, still undecided.

Great Experience. Fast Shipper. Guitar is what it is expected to be for the price. https://youtu.be/UeW3z5KN1mU

I haven't used it yet but it looks awesome.

on June 27, 2020

playability and action is better than i expected.. Imma get me the fretless p bass and the 5 string jazz when they're back in stock thank you

on June 03, 2020

Quality is better than one would expect for the price. Very satisfied with feel and playability. Pick ups could be better but work well for beginners.

on June 03, 2020

Ok...Took this 5 string out the box and just tuned it. Off the rip she had the nerve to have a growl. I'm like... The hell!!! Sweet job Glarry. My new mistress and I just hook-up and turn the radio on. Cheating at first sight.

This bass is well made, nice light body, low action, sounds great but, the poles on the pickups don't line up with the low B string very well. The neck is a bit wide, but then again this is my first 5 string bass. The price unbelievable at $ 129.99 with free shipping. If I already didn't have 18 guitars and 6 basses I would get more, however, I am running out of room to keep them. I will spread the word for you though, My last thought is where were you, people, 40 years ago when I was just start ...

Set up very well, near perfect intonation and action. Straight neck. Electronics give off a slight buzz when DI into system when all 4 knobs all the way up. Frets beveled nicely on ends. Back of neck needed more sanding, has some rough spots. Shipped with brand new strings. Low B doesn't buzz which is amazing. Sounds excellent with a good pre amp. Highly recommend for intermediate bassists. Would I rather play a $1,200 P bass? Yes but I would rather pay $130 for a bass that is 80% as good and to ...

Buy this!

So, here's the deal. For $119 did I get a solid sound bass that played well right out of the box? Absolutely. The bridge is off center by about 1/4". The knobs aren't aligned as pictures. The strings are off-center with the pickup pokes. But none of these things make the bass unplayable. If it was more expensive, I'd be requesting an exchange. In reality, I bought this bass to have a cheapie to practice setups on. So I'll swap out the bridge. The knobs are fine. And I'll be good to go. If you'r ...

If you're looking for a good starter bass for the money, you've absolutely found it. If you're looking for perfection, save your pennies. But you really can't go wrong with a Glarry.

my first 5 love it

on April 08, 2020

Super clean. Good tone. Super light weight. Great action. Records nicely. A lot of bang for a buck, literally. I would love to have a version of this w active pickups, maybe?

on April 05, 2020

I'm loving this 5 string! Straight out of the box with only a few personal tweaks, and this thing is amazing!

on March 29, 2020

Nice guitar however the pick ups are not placed correctly leaving the lowest string with very little amplification.

on March 25, 2020

I just received it today and I love that it is so lightweight and nice sunset design. I had to adjust nuts, action and intonation because it's so way off. Electronics is extremely poorly design that the bridge volume pot is actually not working. I will be replacing/upgrading pickups with SD and changing all pots with CTS then it's a keeper!. Tuning pegs and bridge looks and feels solid.

Pretty ridiculous value & quality with this product! I only wished I could have had more than only two color choices when I order last month Out the box, it was clean, no dings ripples or chips. just needs to be set up like any other bass before your get the "best" tone from the instrument, Even without my ideal two colors on the 5 string - I still liked the craftsmanship enough to have ordered the Jazz Bass over the weekend - just so I can have two different tunings!

on March 14, 2020

Awesome!!! Shipping was earlier than expected. The bass is incredible for the price. Looks and Feels like other high end basses. Thinking of ordering another one soon. Thank You!!!!!

on February 14, 2020

The product arrived in good shape and within a reasonable timeframe. No problems here. The guitar sounds great, though the pickups aren't exactly aligned with each strings. A bit of a hum when you crank up the volume. For the price, I like it.
