Looks and sounds good. I'm a beginner so looking forward to play something meaningful in the future.

I found this while looking for a bass for my son. I ended up ordering myself one too! The bag, strap, and cord are what you'd expect from a "package" deal. The amp has a fairly small speaker but works perfectly well for practice purposes. Everything is as pictured. I'm not a bassist, but I do play a few instruments (including guitar), and this bass sounds good to me. It also looks amazing! One note about the "Burlywood" finish.

It's not just the same unfinished look as the head at the end of the neck. It's got a woodgrainy-looking finish and a glossy sheen--nice style. No regrets here!

This is my first bass, and I love it. Perfect price for learning the instrument! It comes with strings (that's how beginner I am). Took it to some friends who play professionally and they all agreed that it is a great quality for the price. No problems or defects. Three other friends are planning to purchase this as a secondary instrument (they mainly play keys, drums, etc.).

Very satisfied

This bass is shockingly awesome (for the price). One thing I will note with cheap instruments, is you are ususally reaching into a grab bag of mysteries. You can get a perfectly fine bass that feels great like me, or you could recieve a crappy cable harness, bad pickups, or just outright bad craftsmanship. I can happily say I've experienced none of the badness in the line above. The bass was setup with massively high action when I recieved it, probably for shipping protection reasons. After I g ...

You can get a perfectly fine bass that feels great like me, or you could recieve a crappy cable harness, bad pickups, or just outright bad craftsmanship. I can happily say I've experienced none of the badness in the line above. The bass was setup with massively high action when I recieved it, probably for shipping protection reasons. After I got it set up, tightened the truss rod a bit, levelled the pickups, and fixed the intonation and action, this thing plays awesome. There are a few buzzy frets, but that can be fixed with a mallet. Just remember, any issues you find, are likely to be so minor and fixable, it can easily be written off with the price tag!

All of these basses (I bought 3) play great and are excellent vehicules for upgrades. It took me 10 minutes to get used to the thicker neck. This was the problem for the Jazz Bass only.

Wonderful company answered my questions before purchasing and when I decided on the GJazz in burlywood it was shipped very fast and got here in great shape. This was my second Glarry and both are exceptional in playability and finish.

on June 04, 2020

I decided 2 weeks ago I wanted to learn how to play a new instrument. For $80, this was a great investment. I'm already having a blast jamming with my bass.

on June 04, 2020

I ordered the 4 string jazz bass in Burlywood", and I am amazed at the quality of this instrument! Extremely pleased! Beautiful finish, smooth fret ends, staight neck, beautiful tone! Awesome!

on June 04, 2020

Great bass for my son.Awesome quality and fast shipping.

I simply cannot overstate what a great value this is. Is it just for beginners? Shhhh, don't tell. I've been playing over 40 years. It is a treat for the eyes, ears and my sore neck. My Rickenbacker weighs a metric ton. It kills my neck. This bass is a lightweight heavy hitter. So I have a $2,000 bass sitting in a case while I rock out with my $80 Glarry. Be aware that the neck is the same as their P-Bass. A true Jazz bass is narrower at the nut. Don't let that stop you. The solid ma ...

Be aware that the neck is the same as their P-Bass. A true Jazz bass is narrower at the nut. Don't let that stop you. The solid maple neck feels fantastic. I've seen $130 Rogue basses with two-piece glued necks! Pure junk. Frets are well dressed with zero sprout. Arrived detuned as it should. Custom packaging ensured safe delivery. I ordered after hours on Friday before the holiday weekend and had it in hand by Wednesday! I made a few slight adjustments for string height and intonation as the bridge had obviously not been setup. Standard procedure for any new instrument, and easily accomplished with the included tools. If you are not familiar with setup, check out Dave's World Of Fun Stuff on YouTube. The toughest choice was color. It had to be either the dark blue or the burlywood (wife calls it girlywood LOL). The black trim killed the blue for me. Solid transparent blue would be killer. Hint, hint. I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend Glarry instruments to any and all musicians. It will rock you. Gotta jam...

Ok I just received my Glarry Jazz bass. First and foremost it looks great. Second and most importantly, the fret edges are smooth as butter. Amp is good. Little fret buzz but that can be fixed easy enough. Love it. Burlywood is the style I picked .

on June 02, 2020

Get one! Sounds great, the pickups are easily the standout. Great sounding bass and playable. I also like the practice amp it came with, perfect for an apartment. If you want to start playing this is the way to go. The durability of the construction is somewhat questionable, about my only criticism. She might not be here for a long time, but she's here for a good time! Now if you'll excuse me I've got some funky jams to kick out!

Good quality plays like a regular J Bass

I bought the Glarry Jazz bass hoping to be able to make it functional. What I got when the guitar arrived was a total surprise. The bass was beautiful. The control knobs worked smoothly and the pickups sounded great.The finish sparkled and shined and the set up was spot on except for a little intonation work. Took me all of five minutes and the Glarry Jazz bass played in tune and played like butter. I found only one flaw in the whole guitar, the head end of the fret board was not cut straight b ...

Took me all of five minutes and the Glarry Jazz bass played in tune and played like butter. I found only one flaw in the whole guitar, the head end of the fret board was not cut straight but that does not affect play-ability and it was so minor that I did not see it until I had the guitar for a couple of weeks. For the price it was like WOW! I can't wait to see what I get next time from Glarry Music. I'm thinking to buy the Glarry GT602 41 inch Dreadnought Spruce Front Cutaway Zebrano Back Folk Acoustic Guitar Natural. (Or maybe they will send one to me for review??) When I do get one I will do a review.

on May 27, 2020

product came very fast and well wrapped, it ready to and finished was beautiful and great sounding instrument for the price.

This all started with the purchase of a Glarry P Bass, Just wanted to see what you get for such a cheap price, outta the box played well and had nice sound...hums at high volume, but iI sanded the neck and fret ends, and put on a set of Fender Studio bass roundwounds , and this thing PLAYS and Sounds AWESOME!! Had friends play it who own Name brand P basses and they loved it. After that I bought a Strat Model 6 string, Gorgeous Natural wood finish, looks and plays like a guitar 5x it's value ! ...

Now I just recieved the Glarry J Bass and No Lie, this is gonna be My Geddy lee tribute Bass...needs very little, but with a Badass bridge and maybe some 80's pups this is Gonna Be a Daily player ! Thank You Glarry! I now own six of your wonderful instruments and look forward to getting more.

The Bass was really nice when it arrived a little adjustments and it was good as gold really nice bass for the price it plays just as nice as my squire j bass and it sounds just as good as well

on May 21, 2020

I'm a 40-year veteran bassist and I'm extremely happy with my glarry precision bass and Jazz Bass. I cannot believe the sound and quality I received at such a small price. I will be using these bases in live performances as well as some recordings along with my music man and Fender basses. I also purchased a Telecaster for my son and he's extremely happy with it. I'm looking forward to receiving a fretless bass and a 5-string bass from you all. Thanks again for all you do for us.

on May 20, 2020

My new j-bass arrived promptly and in great condition. After a minor setup procedure and a bit of polishing, it was time to play. I was immediately impressed with the tonal variations produced through my amp with slight adjustments with the tone and volume controls. I also really like the feeling and playability of the neck. Overall, a nice instrument at a very competitive price. Thanks Glarry Music!

I recently purchased this bass. When it came in, the pickups were damaged, but customer service gave me no problems. They sent me a replacement. The replacement came in, and I am hard pressed to find anything wrong with it. I adjusted the action and tuned it up, and I was playing the bass. It sounds great and feels great. The neck is straight and isn't as fat as the Glarry Precision Bass (which I also have). No dead frets. No grounding issues. You do have to remove the strings and the pick gua ...

The neck is straight and isn't as fat as the Glarry Precision Bass (which I also have). No dead frets. No grounding issues. You do have to remove the strings and the pick guard, in order to remove the plastic covering the pick guard, but you have to do that at some point anyway to use steel wool to buff the frets, and also wipe down the fret board, but otherwise this product was ready to play out of the box with very little setup required.

Okay, its very inexpensive. It looks very nice, ie, paint, frets, hardware. Heres the other edge of the sword. Mine arrived with action at the 12th fret almost 3/4 inch high. I had to remove the neck and finish leveling out the pocket where someone at the factory had started already. After that there was some fret filing, truss rod adjustments and saddle adjustments to make. For me, no big deal. For someone who has never done these tasks it would have been the end of the road. So far I have work ...

So far I have worked a bass and a 6 string guitar from Glarry. The parts and pieces make a decent instrument. If you have never worked on an instrument like this though, you'd probably give up unless your desire to play outweighed any flaws in your instrument. The pickups and electronics are cheesy, but record well. The finish is gorgeous. Fretwork is passable. Tuning keys, while not confidence inspiring, work well after you tighten them up. Bottom line, aimed at a market that will probably not continue on in their musical education. I am a 50 year plus veteran player and sometime luthier and this works well for me.

We were looking for a starter electric bass set for our son who has played upright bass at school. This is a perfect fit! It has everything we needed to get him started. Thanks, Glarry, for making music & learning so accessible.

As a guitar player that never own a bass who just picked it up a few times at parties, I'd always wanted a bass to experiment with. I've had so much fun with the Glarry Jazz Bass so far. Both stays in tune, looks cool, action seemed fine to me right out of the box. As much as I'd wanted a bass and another instrument to play, never could justify spending 3 or 4 hundred bucks on a instrument that wasn't my main instrument, so for this price I've already had more that $100 worth of fun since I g ...

Furthermore, this is more for guitar players than specific to this bass....I think it improves your playing. It makes you stretch the fretboard because those easier to reach notes on the extra strings on the guitar are not there. But you'll be able to apply that to your playing. And any guitar player knows your tone can influence and inspire your playing---and the bass notes playing bass do just that. They make you want to get funky. And it also improves your rhythm, in some ways you are another percussion instrument, but able to play distinct notes. One more note on the quality of the instrument... I think its so well built I plan to order one of the glarry Tele style guitars in the very near future.

Amazing bass for the money- I have Tobias growler and 2 jazz basses and this $79 bass surprised me I must say... After playing for 20 years I must say ... thank you.

on May 01, 2020

This is a great bass guitar package. The bass needed small adjustments out of the box, but otherwise plays very nicely.

I spent hours possibly the whole day looking at reviews and I jumped in thinking there were going to be minor defects but at the same time really excited about getting both a bass and electric guitar for less than $170. I really wanted an acoustic guitar from glarry guitars as well but i had ordered a yamaha f335 instead. To my suprise Glarry had sent me my bass guitar practically the next day (during this crisis that's impressive). Even more surprising was everything was perfect the bass guitar ...

I really wanted an acoustic guitar from glarry guitars as well but i had ordered a yamaha f335 instead. To my suprise Glarry had sent me my bass guitar practically the next day (during this crisis that's impressive). Even more surprising was everything was perfect the bass guitar was scratch free nothing was loose nothing broken or out of place no dents no bends this and that I guess those bad youtube reviews are from people who are used to playing on 100k gibson guitars. I mentioned the yamaha company because they are "supposed to be" pretty good brand and my guitar came in longer than expected which was expected but it had part of the wood on the body lifting and my glarry electric had arrived that same day as well and It too was in perfect condition just like my bass guitar and i couldn't help but think this company is even better than yamaha it delivers on time has great products and I have yet to see anything wrong with this company i highly recommend you buy from them. I've told my friends to buy as well you can't beat their prices and quality. Their slogan needs to be "I don't know how they do it". Thank you glarry guitars for making guitars great again.

very nice service and fast shipping we are very happy

Is it the nicest bass I've ever owned? Nope...but is it a great bass for less than $100? Absolutely! Great value for the price and perfect for my girlfriend and daughter to plunk around on and learn!

I bought the Jazz Bass in White. Body has scratches by the bridge where the strings load in. Fit and finish are good, neck joint is tight and clean. Neck is not a Jazz Bass profile, it's kind of in between the Jazz and Precision feel, slightly chunky, but very playable. Hardware does what it is supposed to, tuning keys are ok, probably the weak point of the whole bass. Electronics all function as they should, no grounding hum or buzz. Pick ups sound like Jazz Bass pickups should. I would like to ...

Hardware does what it is supposed to, tuning keys are ok, probably the weak point of the whole bass. Electronics all function as they should, no grounding hum or buzz. Pick ups sound like Jazz Bass pickups should. I would like to see Glarry make Basses with Maple fretboards since I prefer them myself. Over all balance of this Bass is good, it's not neck heavy at all. I use a padded shoulder strap and it keeps the Bass right where I like it. I would say this Bass plays better than a Squier Affinity Series, but not better than The Classic Vibe or Vintage Modified. Is it worth $80?...…….Yes, I would say it is! I'm going to use it as my Church Band Bass, I'm more comfortable taking the Glarry Jazz Bass instead of my $700 Fender Mustang. Good job Glarry, this instrument exceeded my expectations.
