Anything I type becomes gushing about this bass, so I will just break it down without going over the top. I am not a pro, just a dude with other bass guitars of various quality. 1. Packaging was solid foam inside cardboard. The bass and amp were unmarked and undisturbed. 2. The bass body is ultralight, so there is neck dive. Visually, it is a work of art. 3.

Anything I type becomes gushing about this bass, so I will just break it down without going over the top. I am not a pro, just a dude with other bass guitars of various quality. 1. Packaging was solid foam inside cardboard. The bass and amp were unmarked and undisturbed. 2. The bass body is ultralight, so there is neck dive. Visually, it is a work of art. 3. Tuning only and playing with the stock strings resulted in bright sounds coming in strong and bass pretty weak. Once the pickup and string height were both adjusted, it sounded much better. Absolute zero buzz at any configuration of the bass controls. 4. The "20 watt" amp does not put out much bass. I have had a 15 watt Behringer thunderbird that could drown this thing easily at less than 1/2 volume. The amp sounds clear and seems to register the high notes really well, it's just really lacking in the low end. My only guess is the cabinet is too small for the speaker to be effective. 5. Strap is light and small, but will work in a pinch. All other accessories work properly. I'm not a big pick guy so I can't judge. 6. I had some questions for Glarry and they responded quick and professionally via email. 7. The closest comparison for the overall sound of this bass is the song "Holiday in Cambodia" by the Dead Kennedys. This bass is perfect for beginners. It is fun, easy to handle, and sounds good. It is worth every penny. I plan to purchase more models in the future.

Received this today. Appearance is nice. Bass plays fine after some adjustments, fret board is too long, second knob doesn't stop turning, doesn't have the other lock nut for the strap. The amp isn't good at all.

Update, I was offered a few options to rectify this. Customer service has been great. Will update again after credit is sent.

This is the first bass I've purchased. I got the burning fire sunburst bass/amp combo for 187$ Shipped! I Assumed and was willing to do a little work to the guitar because that's a great deal. have played guitar for years. Decided I wanted a bass but didn't want to pay an arm and a leg. I was looking at used basses. A glary review popped up on my Google news feed. So I read up about them. I expected the shipping to take forever and to have to do some work to the bass.

This is the first bass I've purchased. I got the burning fire sunburst bass/amp combo for 187$ Shipped! I Assumed and was willing to do a little work to the guitar because that's a great deal. have played guitar for years. Decided I wanted a bass but didn't want to pay an arm and a leg. I was looking at used basses. A glary review popped up on my Google news feed. So I read up about them. I expected the shipping to take forever and to have to do some work to the bass. I placed my order on a Wednesday night at 8 pm Pacific time and recieved my bass the following Saturday at 1:30 pm. Pretty dang fast for free shipping!!! When I recieved the bass it was in perfect condition. Very nice finish, no sharp fret edges, Al electronics in working order. The only adjustments I made we're the low E and A saddles. I raised them a little to get rid of some string buzz and tuned it. I am extremely impressed by what I recieved vs what I paid. If you're like me and looking for your first bass and want a quality instrument but don't want to break the bank. Then this deal is for you.

I really love the body style, the candy apple red w/ black hardware looks awesome, sadly when I received my bass there was obvious damage to the neck where it bolts on, there are fairly large gaps around the between the neck and the body, the fretboard had a chunk of wood hanging from it at the very end. There is also some minor damage to the headstock but is superficial and can only be seen in the light, but can be felt when you run your finger over it. I previously purchased a 5-string jazz ba ...

There is also some minor damage to the headstock but is superficial and can only be seen in the light, but can be felt when you run your finger over it. I previously purchased a 5-string jazz bass from Glarry and didn't have a single issue with it. I still have faith in Glarry! I have requested a replacement and will update my review after receiving the new bass. Check out the pics below to see what I mean.

Updated rating 4* - Updated review: They sent a completely new bass at no charge to me to replace the defect one, the new one had a properly set neck and was flawless from top to bottom, the only lingering issue is a volume cutout when both pickups are at full volume likely due to faulty wiring as some have stated in other reviews and videos, but this does not kill the overall satisfaction with the instrument and I can still get a decent range of tone control in light of that issue.

Glarry please look into the wiring issues that seem to be prevalent on this instrument. I was able to play this bass on Rocksmith but could not get it loud enough to calibrate during tuning so I had to manually override the gain to max 10db in the settings and the accuracy was excellent while playing.

I bought this beautiful bass in White! I love love love it! Well built nice finish! Beautiful! Very nice grain in the neck. Pickups were perfect for use with my active DI. Tuning machines were smooth. I am the president of the Glarry Club on Talkbass. I love to mod the Glarry instruments.

Great little bass. After a full setup it shreds.
