Glarry Burning Fire Electric Bass Guitar HH Pickups w/20W Amplifier Sunset Burlywood White Black Red

August 29, 2023

Unboxed a couple wks after purchase (moving), upon unboxing I received the wrong bass. I ordered the burning fire with the blk bridge,knobs and the humbucker style pickups I prefer. The nut was loose, and the pickups were missing 1 screw. I fixed these issues myself, tuned up and the sound will get you in the right direction. It arrived in a timely manner, the packaging was undamaged. Neck dive isn't a issue,frets were good on this 1 although I'd recommend a little polishing. Nee strings improve ...

This upgrade Glarry J Bass sounds great, but this negligent black scuff mark under the clear finish is very disappointing, I wound like this issue addressed with sime kind of possible discount if I purchase anything else, but Glarry needs to step up their quality control team!!!!!!!

Thank you Ms. Lynn, for resolving this issue with the discount on my next purchase, as well as the the quality control issue being addressed.

I purchased a Glarry guitar to see what you get for under $100. I was impressed that it looked like a regular telecaster and was incredibly light. However, there were many issues that would require most folks to spend an additional $200 or so correct. The intonation was way off. The string height was way too high. Two of the three screws that hold the bridge on were stripped in the wood. Six of the frets required leveling and all frets required polishing and end-filing. The neck was rough ...

I was just looking for something low-budget to start learning and this product was almost perfect. The only problem I have is that one of the wires on the output jack on the guitar wasn't soldered on. I don't own a soldering kit so I had to loop the wire around the contact until i can get it fixed. It works but it's not ideal.

OK I have played 60 years. For the price of this guitar, if you know how to set up an instrument, it's definitely worth it. Needed complete set up out of the box. Some glue residue in the FHole, which was easily removed. Pick up height needed adjustment and that necessitated the removal of pick guard. Curious as to why the pick guard does not go right down to the rear pick up trough but that's OK. Tuners needed to be tightened with hex as well as string hold down.

i got worried at first because the amplifier didn't come with the guitar in the package, so i feel like it should be added into the description that it will be shipped separately. the guitar came with a few scratches on it which are barely noticeable but still, it looked a bit used. over all tho, its a really cool guitar!! it sounds great.

For the price, you can't ask for a whole lot more. The amp isn't perfect for a bass and mine came without lower pickups, for which I was offered the FAQ page and a $10 credit. But it's super affordable and a decent guitar, I can't wait to hear her with the pickups where they belong.

As some other customers have suggested, I now too agree that Glarry instruments are lax about their quality control standards. This guitar looks very nice, and the body especially looks nice with a good paint job. However, the back of the neck on the one I received is quite rough, from the body all the way up and also the headstock. It's as if, maybe the last coat of whatever finish was applied wasn't? I don't know what happened, but that's disappointing. Plus, the bridge is mounted backwards, a ...

Glarry 170 Type Electric Guitar w/ 20W Amplifier Sunset White Black

By W***s

November 15, 2022

The piece is pleasing to look at. The amp has a constant hum. The 5-way switch cap fell off the first time I touched it. The balance is good for a entry-level unit and the intonation is fair. 2 stars for the hum, because, well, it hums. Also, it distorts even a clean effect and any kind of flange comes out as waffling.

October 31, 2022

After all the glowing reviews and impressive youtube videos, I decided to give this a try. I wasn't expecting much for $90, but this was nothing like the basses I saw on youtube. The strings were unplayable. They felt like rat-tail files. The mounting holes for the pickup screws were too far apart, so the assembler put the screws in at an angle. This drove the pickups down into the cavity where they were jammed on the angled screws. I had to fill two holes with epoxy (one for each pickup) and re ...

Its decent for the price, the neck has no oil in the wood. The B string was already falling apart and does not resonate well. Frets are set nicely, build is good. Not playable out of the box at all. Need to finish doing a set up but that is to be expected for a $150 bass.

October 01, 2022

Overall the bass is pretty nice. It's put together well and plays great. The one (big) problem is the electronics are messed up. Each knob acts as a volume AND tone control which makes it really difficult to dial in a tone. I haven't looked in the cavity yet, but I figure they must all be wired together for this to be happening. I like the bass enough to keep it, but not enough to use it until I get the wiring fixed.

I'm a long term guitar player and wanted to pick up the bass. I bought the Glarry over the Monoprice and a few others based on reviews that gave it glowing scores for frets, finish and playability. While I was overall impressed with the instrument (with the obligatory caveat "at this price"), I was very disappointed in the fingerboard and frets. First off, the fingerboard had no finish whatsoever on it - no sanding sealer, no poly, varnish, oil etc. It was just raw wood that had not been finish sanded - there was wood "fuss" everywhere. I'm also a very long term woodworker with a full shop in my garage and work with maple a lot, and this was raw wood. The fret board soak mineral spirits right up. That was not true for the neck which has an "OK" finish. Worse, the fret ends, while not having any sprout, looked like they had been ground down with an 80 grit sanding wheel - they were extremely rough and overall poorly finished (see photos). The fret leveling was so bad the guitar was virtually unplayable. Seven frets had to be leveled and 3 of those a very significant amount. There was also some sort of brownish gunk near the ends of a number of frets that I am assuming is some sort of glue or epoxy they used to seat the frets, but this is minor and just a cosmetic item that has no affect on playability. Fortunately, I am fairly experienced in guitar set up. I've set up and worked on frets, etc. on over 20 guitars in my own collection, several band mates and friends and two guitar instructors. I've also made two guitars, though I've never made a neck from scratch. Of all those guitars, this one was by far the most poorly finished fret board and frets of any I have ever seen, and that includes a Monoprice Tele and a very cheap Rocket Strat I used to create a collapsible guitar that would fit in carry in luggage. So, even by "cheap" guitars standards, this one was nothing less than horrible. And that 80 grit grinder wheel they took to the frets? well they also ground away some of the fingerboard leaving a nice increasing width bevel from the nut to the end of the fret board - see photo. However, after about 5 hours of fret work with proper end and crowning files, fret erasers, gray pads, 800 grit wet/dry and 0000 SS wool, re-profiling the edges of the fret board to remove the bevel and and 8 coats of Tru Oil with a lot of between-coats sanding, the neck is near perfect and feels amazing. Then on to the formal set up. To my pleasant surprise, the intonation was nearly spot on, the string height was about perfect and the neck relief was just a tiny bit too much, but that is entirely my preference. The guitar with the Wilkinson PUPs actually sounds great. The electronics are, as expected, very tiny and low end, but they do not hinder the sound of the guitar. I will likely replace them with 250K/500K liners/audio taper CTS pots, but that my preferred set up and I've done similar to some of my guitars that cost 20 times what this guitar costs, so that is no reflection on the value of this guitar. The electronics do not "need" to be replaced. Overall, now that I've put a lot of work into this bass, I really like it and it is [now] very playable. The overall finish is great and it fits in with all my other guitars hanging on hooks in my studio room. I can't give the guitar a 5-star review because this guitar was far from playable or acceptable as it arrived and most people would not be able to correct the deficiencies necessary to make it playable. It's possible mine was an outlier that they threw together with a non-QC'd neck, but because the fingerboard was unfinished and just raw wood and the poor fret work that made this guitar unplayable, I can only give it a 3-start review. I highly recommend anyone who buys this guitar to know how to check fret level and be aware you might have to finish the fingerboard yourself (an unfinished maple fingerboard will look horrible after a short while from grease, dirt and oils from your fingers). If you do not know how to do this or how to check it, I highly recommend you either buy another brand or have it checked by a professional because if you do not, you are very likely to get very frustrated at not being able to make it sound "correct" - you'll get a lot of fret buzz and may not be able to play some notes at all. If you do know how to correct these types of deficiencies or know someone who can, I think this is an excellent base bass project instrument. Once properly finished, it is a very good value for the money. It's unfortunate that Glarry puts out guitars with the level of defects I saw in my copy. If the photos load, they show the fret ends and bevel before being worked on, the guitar mid-"fixing" and the completed fret board profile and fret end finishing. The fret ends could have been better, but would have taken more time than the bass was worth - it is only a $120 bass.

I like the guitar a lot. There was a great deal of setup required on the guitar. Truss rod adjustment, dressing fret sprout. some fret levelling. addressing buzz from the bridge. etc. One thing did disappoint me a great deal. I ordered this particular telecaster style instead of a competitors because of the beautiful blue color and the woodgrain which showed through. My guitar came with so much black from the edges that my entire guitar looks black. I can only see some blue in the brightes ...

The only issue I have with the ordering process is that I did not receive any kind of order confirmation email, not what i am used to but hey with such quick delivery who really cares. The reason for the 3 star review is that my bass arrived with a bent tuner on the "G" string and I am unable to get the "lobe " of the tuner to set properly. This made tunning a little difficult because I started with the "E" st ...

Update 7/18/2022 I was contacted by Glarry and initially requested a replacement for the broken tuner, Glarry instead offered a $10.00 refund so I could replace the tuner. I replied that I would prefer they send a new tuner so it would match the existing tuners. For reasons unknown to me Glarry did not want to send a tuner so I found a set of tuners on Amazon for $20.00 so Glarry refunded that amount.

I already have a Glarry P style bass, and it worked great right out of the box! The fit and finish of the Glarry Burning Fire bass is great.

After hearing a lot of positives about Glarry basses I decided to take the plunge and order one. Unfortunately, I cannot report that I find it to be an amazing value as some have reported. The main problem is the neck. Out of the box the action was set quite high and the usual setup adjustments reveal that the frets are in serious need of a level and dressing. Besides the unpleasant fret fart outs, I notice a fair amount of odd resonances that seems to be originating from the neck on various not ...

Won this guitar in a contest. Came with heavy gauge strings. Ordering new extra light ones. Intonation is slightly off on a few strings, but WAY off on the lower E string. Don't know if a luthier can fix it. Pickup is microphonic so it feeds back pretty quick, but tone controls are very effective. Overall, a nice sounding guitar if it can be properly set up. Thinking about re-tuning to Hawaiian slack key. Will re-post if I do.
