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 ...

Good for the price but not what I ordered. Not sure right now about more purchases, the 1st thing should be to get what you wanted and paid for,

Bang for the Buck! Even my son stood in amazement of this guitar. lol My 3 year old got to play it before me. lol I have been playing guitar for eight years. I got this bass because I wanted something cheap to bang around and record with. I was not expecting this quality of instrument. There is no battery port, so it will use phantom power of whatever you plug it in to. If you are running into a front of house system, you may want to invest in a driver pedal get that push.

Bang for the Buck! Even my son stood in amazement of this guitar. lol My 3 year old got to play it before me. lol I have been playing guitar for eight years. I got this bass because I wanted something cheap to bang around and record with. I was not expecting this quality of instrument. There is no battery port, so it will use phantom power of whatever you plug it in to. If you are running into a front of house system, you may want to invest in a driver pedal get that push. I ran it through Garage Band through an Irig system and it blew me away. The frets are not sharp, the neck dimension is more of a D shape and may be difficult to hold for small hands. This guitar definitely gives off Misfit vibes. The first song I played on it was Living Dead Girl by Rob Zombie- every easy to play. It sounded like the OG recording. Very impressed with the overall quality of the guitar. The image had some Styrofoam dust. The finish is a high gloss. It looks like it was polished with a Brillo pad. It just adds character for me, so I don't care.

Man what a nice looking bass! Glarry's quality control is improving drastically. I got this in today and did a quick inspection. The frets edges were the smoothest I've felt on any Glarry bass so far. The finish was perfect. Another thing I checked was the area where the neck meets the body. Sometimes there are spaces where it does not fit well. This was not the case here! It fit perfectly. The fret-board looks and feels very nice. The only cons are mainly the gig bag and accessories.

Man what a nice looking bass! Glarry's quality control is improving drastically. I got this in today and did a quick inspection. The frets edges were the smoothest I've felt on any Glarry bass so far. The finish was perfect. Another thing I checked was the area where the neck meets the body. Sometimes there are spaces where it does not fit well. This was not the case here! It fit perfectly. The fret-board looks and feels very nice. The only cons are mainly the gig bag and accessories. The bag is more of a dust cover, no padding at all. The accessories are two wrenches to adjust the truss rod and action. And a non padded strap. There is also a cord for connecting to your amp. I"d probably replace these last two and maybe the bag with something a little better. But I understand to keep the cost of this bass down you're not getting the best accessories money can buy. Overall this is a nice bass. The odd shape is actually smaller and more comfortable than I thought it would be. The neck is more of a D shape. Not too thick but could be a little thinner. The strings are OK but I'd replace them with some better ones. The pickups sound nice and overall I'm happy with this purchase. I'd highly recommend it for the beginning bassist or anyone that just wants something a little different.

This is my third base from glarry. Every couple year I upgrade. The burning fire bass is a hit. Not only dies it look good it plays good. No setup needed out the box.just tined it up and awesomeness happened!Glarrys customer service is awesome as well. Ordered the burning fire guitar by mistake contracted them and they went above and beyond to send the bass o wanted to order.

immediately upon touching control knobs fell off little super glue problem solved and with a little adjustment it plays pretty good extremely neck heavy but all in all a good student bass they should have threw in a tuner being it's a student guitar but we'll buy again

With the double Humbucker Pickups this thing is just AWESOME ! Now I'm just playing at home . Not in a group or anything, been musically inclined since and playing bass since childhood and having a brain tumor and going through comas right after graduation . . Music is the GREATEST THERAPY !! Those Humbuckers just GROWL !

Most excellent Bass! A5 string version would be Awesome!

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.

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.
