Better than advertised ... the fit and finish matches or exceeds my Fender Jazz bass ... looking forward to many hours playing my new bass

Love this 5 String Bass!

Very good quality and delivered before the suggested date!!!!

Great 5 string bass for beginner or expert I really enjoy the sound and I'll try to make the amp last as long as possible

on July 16, 2023

The bass is great for a $100 guitar. The only issue is there is not a back plate for the bolts in the neck. This is a beautiful looking bass as it is sounding. Would definitely purchase again. The amp is good for a beginner but I suggest purchasing a different one

Unbelievable that this bass plays and sounds as good as it does for the price! Quick neck adjustment, tuned her up and she plays wonderfully! Thanks for a great deal!!

This is such a well made instrument. I'm using it to record bass parts for a TV show I'm composing for. Thanks Glarry for making quality instruments at such an affordable price!

I opened the box it cam in and when I saw the paint job its was fabulous and the quality was well worth the money. I took it to band practice and we plugged it in and it sounded great. The knobs and strings were perfect. I would highly recommend this item to anyone who wants one as a beginner or even as an advanced player that wants to save money. The price is great and like I said the item plays very well. I am going to do a Video review of this bass as well. I also bought a ^ string bass as well and I will also review that item and let you know what I think of the product. I see they have some nice guitars that is next on my list to review as well.

Pretty well made and good sounding 5 string bass for the price. I'm a new to Bass playing and decided to go with the 5 string instead of 4, and so far so good. I like that the strings are closer together.

I'm an aging drummer transitioning to Bass and my JAZZ is perfect for my needs!

For the price (the bass was sold in a package with practice amp and accessories), this 5 string bass can't be beat! My son's bass teacher was impressed with the quality if the workmanship, including the neck/frets, which can be rough with high action on entry level models. Not so with this model! A beginner can easily handle it. The finish is beautiful on the instrument, too. The bass will last him many years. Glarry customer service was also great to work with.

When I accidentally ordered a 4 string instead of a 5 string, they were able to update the order in the fly and we had the 5 string in a week, in time for my son's first lesson.

Order arrived earlier than scheduled. Will continue to order from them in the future.Ordering was easy and delivery was fast. Excellent service. Would definitely use this company again

I received this bass on a Thursday and played it on Friday and Saturday night. With only a minor adjustment of the neck and bridge (to suit my playing style) I was simply amazed at the feel and sound of this instrument. It sounds and plays better than any Fender I've ever touched. I had 2 basses on stage that weekend. One was my $8500 Alembic and the other was my new Glarry bass. I must admit that the Alembic does have a more intense sound but the Glarry bass is just as comfortable to play and ...

I must admit that the Alembic does have a more intense sound but the Glarry bass is just as comfortable to play and gave me all that I could ever hope for in a bass costing 5 times as much as the 120 bucks that I spent. I was pleasantly surprised by everything about it. If anyone is interested in a real bass on a budget this is hands down one of the most amazing basses on the market. To say that I would recommend this company to anybody would be an understatement. I'm sold on your products and I'm thinking about purchasing another soon.

Just what I needed. Nice pickup crossover tone palette you can get between adjusting volume controls, but the best tone is both pickups at once: the hum is cancelled & the tone is deep, sweet, & smooth. Thinkin' about gettin' the 6-string sunset burst version to compliment my 5-string burlywood. Thumps & pops nicely as well

on September 25, 2022

This guitar plays great. Has a great feel and weight. sounds great and is very comfortable to play. I love it. and you cant beat the price.

on September 23, 2022

It came 3 days earlier than expected and love the look

on September 11, 2022

This thing is awesome.. I switch the strings up and took them off and and put a high c on there I had to adjust the neck a little bit because of the different strings but other than that man all good stays in tune

on September 10, 2022

Nice bass, it is well made for my usage. Action is low which is ny preference and the strings that came with it are decent.

on July 13, 2022

WOW! Heard this bass being played on a video and it sounded great! After conversation with the one playing at the time, found out he wasn't using any pedals or effects. Was still a bit skeptical, but purchased it anyway. Once again...WOW! The sound is EXCELLENT! Especially being passive. A few minor issues like pod noise, but that's an easy fix. Lightweight but durable. Neck is fast and smooth. Action is spot on. Will probably order another one just because!

After buying my first Glarry guitar in Sept. 2020 I decided to replace my 5 string Rogue bass that I had sold. So I bought this one from Glarry. I had it setup and new string put on it and it plays great! Amazing Quality too for the amount of money I gave for it. $128.48 I know China gets a lot of flack these days for all the shit they have put out like the C-virus but as far as the people go and the companies that are making cheap musical equipment and instruments...I can complain.

This bass in a Yamaha or Fender would probably cost a couple of thousand but I got this one for a fraction of the cost and it plays great as far as I am concerned not that I am a professional player but it works for me! Thanks Glarry for all you do for us working class poor folks!

Recently picked up the Brown one, while it was on Closeout. I was super surprised to find it a really Nice looking Stain! The pics made it look an Ugly Brown Paint. Anyway,.. I am a Reseller, and have had excellent experience with Glarry, so far. Especially with the Basses! They do a geat job with them, electric guitars, also. None of the acoustics, or Mandolins, I have bought, have been near the decent quality tho, Unfortunately. having purchased now,.. 5 basses I would Defintely recommend t ...

None of the acoustics, or Mandolins, I have bought, have been near the decent quality tho, Unfortunately. having purchased now,.. 5 basses I would Defintely recommend them! Obviously, they do need some Minor setup work, and the stock strings are Reallllly BAD> But, as a Starter, or Base for a Rat Rod, upgrade,.. These things are KILLER!

The adjustable bridge was extremely intuitive to use in conjunction with the truss rod, and yielded great results. This instrument plays wonderfully, sounds great, and stays in tunes extremely well. Electric Guitar has always been my main instrument, so dialing in a great bass tone is a skill I am still honing. At first, the amp left something to be desired... But after some research, I was able to dial in a solid tone that I used to record bass on 5 Heavy Metal tracks. I have since upgraded to a new amp (Fender Rumble 15, which I highly recommend) and the tone is spectacular. Punchy & Tight. I still use the GB-20 as an effective Studio Monitor. It is a great/handy speaker for playing music and other media through. The neck is on the thicker side, but very playable...The unfinished Maple Neck feels great! As a budget instrument, it is a great design. If a player decides to upgrade to a higher end Bass Guitar with a thinner neck at some point... They will have built a solid fret hand technique by learning/practicing on a more bulky design. I am EXTREMELY happy with my purchase. It is a fun instrument with a great feel. I chose the Burlywood Finish and it is a truly beautiful instrument. Huge appreciation for Glarry Instruments for making truly playable instruments at such an affordable price. If you're on the fence about purchasing this... Go for it! It is a high quality, budget instrument. In understanding the philosophy behind building affordable instruments, one can't help but to be thankful for such a great product. Buy it. Play it. Love it. Pierre Tonnerre, The Crawling Shadows

My second Glarry bass. the first purchase was a 4 string fretless - flawless instrument. Obviously I was happy with it - I bought another instrument. This 5 string arrived today. I spent a brief time setting up the action, as you would need to do with any new instrument. It was not at all necessary to have a shop do it, as they send the tools you need included with the instrument and it is great for a player to be able to do this themselves- it will make you a more knowledgable player and take a ...

It was not at all necessary to have a shop do it, as they send the tools you need included with the instrument and it is great for a player to be able to do this themselves- it will make you a more knowledgable player and take additional pride in ownership. But the real reason for leaving this review is to convey just how great the quality is. My wife's initial reaction: "that is beautiful - a work of art!", and she is so correct. Having owned many basses and played for 35+ years, this is as good as any bass I have had. You will see many other reviews state the same thing. The action, the finish, the sound - there is nothing to complain about, even if you took the affordable price out of consideration. Buy one of these now before they figure out they could charge 2-3x as much and I would still recommend buying even at those prices. I am installing a thumb rest on it and using this the next weekend for a songwriter showcase. Can't wait to see what compliments I get on it. Glarry, you guys do a great job and my hat is off to you.

Great guitar.Out of the box it is set up perfect with action and strings.The natural finish looks very nice.The tone sounds awesome.

5 string bass in burley wood. Fit and finish first class. Unbelievably light. Fantastic value for money. Mine played very badly out of the box, with the neck seemingly overdone on the truss rod. Relaxed that a turn, set intonation and saddles and it's pretty good now imo. Think it would benefit from having some frets filed a bit. But all in all it's excellent for the money. I could spend 3-4 times as much for the next up cheap 5 string, but I doubt it would play better and I bet it would be sig ...

Good protective packaging, timely shipping and delivery. difficult to get tuned, heavy pressure required on strings. arrived in good condition.
