GLARRY Electric Bass Guitar Full Size 4 String Exquisite Stylish Bass with Power Line, Bag and Wrench Tool (Natural Wood)

For me this Glarry is a great platform for making my own custom bass.I’ve enjoyed doing kits because I like the customization that I can do. I think this is better than a kit because the components are better than anything in this price range. The neck was thick but a uniform maple grain. I sanded it down and now it’s a nice smooth comfortable neck.I also stained it and sealed it with satin polyurethane. It looks like a vintage neck. The body had a nice clear coat that saves all the grain filler for a nice paint job. I did a seafoam green and polished it to a nice satin finish. The tuners are really good, I just used some dry silicone sealer and they are really smooth. I gave the chrome a muratic treatment to age them. The black pick guard looks great. The pickups sound nice after I replaced the controller with an Alnico loaded controller. It was $20 bucks and feels like a much more expensive upgrade. The pots are large and good quality. I put D’Addario XL Half rounds on it and they feel smooth like flats but let the J Bass bridge pickup maintain its unique sound.All in I’m at about $150. And this bass sounds and feels like the much pricier one that I’ve never been able to afford.

I'm a guitarist and I wanted to try something new, so I bought this in July and I have had almost no issues with it. Let's start off with the looks. Although it's a Fender jazz bass copy, I absolutely adore the look of this one in particular. The burst looks beautiful and the wooden grain is gorgeous. The fretboard looks really nice and the frets look alright, but they could use some work because they're a little sharp. I was never a big fan of the glarry logo and their headstock shape, but it looks alright on this model. Unfortunately, the staining or finish on the headstock isnt even and has some splotches on it. It holds tune really well and the tuning keys are alright. I had to do nothing to bass because it was well setup from the factory. I'm still rocking the original strings as I do not play it that often, but I'm getting more into it now. The pickups sound good but could use an upgrade if you really wanted to. There are some cons with this bass too. The gig bag is cheap and the headstock is a bit too long to fit inside comfortably, which caused the bag to rip at the top. It barely fits in a Fender gig bag too, so I would try and get a longer gig bag if they make them, but I haven't bothered because it spends most of its time in my room. The output jack became loose over time, so I decided to tighten it up. It just spun and eventually the ground wire broke off. A quick solder and she was back at work. The included strap is cheap and I wouldn't even put it near this bass or any of my guitars, but it would work fine if it's the only thing you have. The included cable is like any other cheap throw-in-the-box cable, so I would find a nicer cable asap. The tools are ok but I never had to use them. Packaging was solid and she came to my house safely. All in all, I think this bass is well worth the money and it's a great buy for someone who's a beginner or an experienced player who needs something cheap to take to gigs. That's all for now and thank you for reading.

I am very happy with the finish of this guitar. I couldn't find a flaw anywhere and the sound is totally acceptable. The POTS are low quality with little range, but 99% of the people who buy this instrument will leave them maxed out anyway so they are not a big deal.The tuners aren't great but they are good enough, and easy to replace if needed. I've heard a few complaints about the neck being a bit chunky. I don't think it is but I have big hands so you'll need to consider that if it is going to someone with small hands.I'm going with 4 stars because the fretboard looks like wood from an orange crate that was sanded and dyed to look like Rosewood. I have several guitars with Rosewood boards and this is not the same by any stretch of the imagination. Frets are good and smooth with no noticeable fret sprout\sharp edges. The nut is plastic. I'd rather have a bone nut but the plastic is fine for a beginner, and it helps keep the cost down.As you've probably read elsewhere, it is neck heavy due to the exceptionally light body. The neck needs a setup but I won't knock the guitar for that. Any new guitar should have a full setup done anyway.Overall, this is still a huge bargain. It looks great and sounds really nice, and anything better would cost considerably more.I totally recommend Glarry for anyone of any age wanting to learn bass guitar.

I don't know what more to say other than, for the price, this is a definite deal! I purchased this purely for home recording and I am happy with it. It looks really nice, is surprisingly light and sounds pretty decent in recordings, a little muddy perhaps but that's easily fixed with an EQThe only thing I noticed was a couple of the pots produced a bit of noise if turned on full, but turning them back just a fraction immediately removed the noise. The pots also don't seem to adjust the sound particularly smoothly - it takes a few extra tweaks before any change in sound is noticed, but for this price it's really not a big deal at all.There is also no toggle between the neck and bridge pickups - it's all done through the pots. But again, it's certainly not a deal breaker when you're spending less than $100, in fact it's amazing that it even has 2 pickups to choose from!Straight out of the box this bass played well, other than needing to be tuned it didn't need to have anything else done to it. The action is low enough without causing buzz, I didn't notice any intonation issues - honestly, I'm so surprised that a bass at this price actually works relatively well!
