I really like the bass! As is usually the case with "package" deals, the strap and cord are so-so, and the bag has no padding or shoulder straps--basically just a dust cover. I don't mind that, because I knew to expect it and because it means they put most of the money into the actual instrument. Everything is as pictured on the website.

I really like the bass! As is usually the case with "package" deals, the strap and cord are so-so, and the bag has no padding or shoulder straps--basically just a dust cover. I don't mind that, because I knew to expect it and because it means they put most of the money into the actual instrument. Everything is as pictured on the website. The bass sounds great and looks amazing! the knobs are plastic on the inside, but their encased in real metal, which truly impressed me. My bass did arrive with a "birthmark"--a quarter-inch diameter divot in the back of it. It's only about 1/16 inch deep, and it 's not even on the part of the area where the bass would touch my stomach, so it's no big deal. (I bought my son a Glarry bass also, and it had no blemishes whatsoever, so I think mine was just a fluke.) Here's the important thing for you to know: Although it took longer than 24 hours, Glarry did respond to my message. They stepped up and made it right. If I were ordering an instrument as a gift (or if the blemish in question had been more of a concern for me), I would want to know that Glarry stands behind their product and looks after their customers. Apparently they do. I have zero regret about this purchase, and I look forward to adding some creative bass parts to my home recordings!
