Bought to learn 6 string without breaking my bank account. Came set up and ready to play, and sounds beefy on the low end and crispy on the high

I received a very playable instrument that is a great start for those interested in trying 6-string bass. The neck was pretty well setup, and the intonation is perfect through the 24-fret. It's really an amazing instrument for less than $150. The placement of the cable jack is odd (being above the bass tone control), but it isn't a problem using wireless or an angled cable ( which would ideally be included instead of the straight cable), and the pickups are the same length— so the C string is ...

The placement of the cable jack is odd (being above the bass tone control), but it isn't a problem using wireless or an angled cable ( which would ideally be included instead of the straight cable), and the pickups are the same length— so the C string is barely over the bridge pickup. This doesn't seem to impact the sound too much, though. I've been looking an expensive 6-string and wanted to see how I liked playing a 6-string before spending more. I'm having fun with my Glarry and might not bother getting a more expensive one!

Received the Glarry GIB Active 6-String Bass Guitar with Upgraded Electronics. The unit was packaged well. Discovered the guitar was reworked. The headstock has a five inch long sliver that was 0.5 inches wide at the top that was apparently broken off and glued back on with white glue. The guitar was set up well and even the factory strings were satisfactory. The electronics work properly and the tone is great. The active pick-up design has no off switch, however. This forces you to remove the b ...

The guitar was set up well and even the factory strings were satisfactory. The electronics work properly and the tone is great. The active pick-up design has no off switch, however. This forces you to remove the battery after each time you play so it doesn't drain the battery.

I would like to update this review to FIVE STARS. While the bass had a cosmetic manufacturing defect, once Glarry management was informed, they immediately rectified the problem. The BIG Active 6-string bass guitar sounds and plays very, very good. The price makes it a real value. The Glarry service dramatically adds to that value. I'm looking to add more Glarry instruments to my collection.

Bass seems ok but I'm getting a very noticeable high pitched sound coming from it. I've tried different cables, batteries, wireless, different amps, straight into a DI, and it's still there. It makes it pretty much unplayable. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Excelente instrumento

Buenas tardes! Este artículo llegó a mi currier BM cargo en Miami sin código de cliente. Tuve que reclamar mi pedido. Por favor, espero que esto no vuelva a suceder porque lo que pierdo es tiempo. Tengan en cuenta esto, porque hace perder tiempo. Pensé que ya tendría este artículo hoy, y será la semana que viene

I'm giving this bass a 5 star rating based on the cost and quality, not because I think it is superior to something else. It's simply worth the money in this category of instruments. I have guitars that cost 5 times as much as this, so it's not about the cost. Even those require a little setup and adjustments for personal requirements. That said, this bass required another level of adjustments and refinement to get it right and I'll likely continue to work on it. First, the frets needed some smo ...

I'm giving this bass a 5 star rating based on the cost and quality, not because I think it is superior to something else. It's simply worth the money in this category of instruments. I have guitars that cost 5 times as much as this, so it's not about the cost. Even those require a little setup and adjustments for personal requirements. That said, this bass required another level of adjustments and refinement to get it right and I'll likely continue to work on it. First, the frets needed some smoothing out on the top and bottom edges. The bridge, which is probably the lowest quality part of this bass, needed some fine tuning for intonation and string height. Not unusual for any instrument right out of the box, but this one needed a little more than usual and will likely be replaced by an aftermarket model. The plastic nut needed a little filing for the B string to sit lower for proper height. The nut will also likely be replaced for something more durable which is very inexpensive. The neck was my biggest concern based on previous reviews but those were mostly regarding the previous model. The weight and thickness are fine, it's the unfinished aspect that I'm not in love with. A little fine lacquer would make a huge difference. It was also a little rough around the edges and needs some fine sanding. Overall, the electronics are decent and fairly responsive for something in this price range. Was it worth it for $139? Very much so. Would I buy another Glarry product? Yes. As stated, I have many other instruments and gear that range all over the place in cost, but the most expensive aren't necessarily my favorites.

It's amazing to me that an instrument of such excellent quality, costs so little. Garry has certainly hit the nail on the head with this one.

I am impressed with the condition , function and affordability of this bass. I am free to explore my curiosity without breaking the bank.

It works great. After a bit of tuning of course, I love the look, the sound, and the feel of it, the only criticisms that i have with it is there is a small defect on the side of the neck where the fretboard and the neck meet, but it is hard to notice and doesn't effect the playing any, so over all its a great Bass for a great price, and it comes with a few things you need too!

I love this bass. Its light, stays in tune and sounds good. Its comfortable and really fun to play. I'm so impressed by this one I'm looking to try the four string jazz next. I think my expectations were very low considering the price but i was blown away . On the other hand I've bought more expense name brand basses and they never lived up to the hype or reached my expectations.

Beautiful 6 String Bass. I arrived safely and on time. Looks great, sounds good. It's my first bass of this kind and I am happy with it.

i have purchased at least 5 prior Glarry instruments so I knew to expect a good value for a good instrument. This updated 6 string bass is no exception. They have added active electronics and upgraded pickups without increasing the price. Instrument plays great out of the box with minimal setup. I am extremely satisfied with this instrument. I don't know why any one would pay 3-4x the price of the instrument for another choice. I have had many instruments and this one is good enough to be your d ...

Wasn't sure what to expect from a 139 6 string bass but i honestly am impressed so great out of the box preamp is ok and strings are relatively bright i definitely will be restringing and possibly switching out preamp but overall this bass feels good and plays good I'd definitely gig with this one will be buying another one and getting a 5 string version

Well here we are again!!!! Just when I thought I had purchased enough Glarry guitars, YOU GUYS COME OUT WITH ONE MORE THAT I JUST HAVE TO TRY!!!! (LMBAO!!!!!) This Glarry 6 with the ACTIVE ELECTRONICS makes a world of difference in sound!!!!! I did notice that this new model 6 is just a wee bit heavier than the original 6 that you made last year or so, but again the bass looks and feels good!!! (SPOILER ALERT: The only issue I have with this piece is that at the top left of the headstock, the wo ...

(SPOILER ALERT: The only issue I have with this piece is that at the top left of the headstock, the wood is chipped and is somewhat split, but it's nothing that can't be fixed by a good luthier...The playability is SPOT ON!! I didn't have to do much "setting up" in order for it to sound good...It was good right outta the box!!!! Nice, sturdy cable is provided too!!! (much better!!) You get ALOTTA bottom with this bass.....That bass boost really gives you some good lows (thanks to the active pickup system) as well as crisp clean highs! I played mine through a Fender Rumble 1x10 combo amp and was BLOWN TO THE ZONE BY THE TONE!!!!! (Hmmm, that sounds like the title of a jam....LMBAO!!!) CHEERS TO YOU, GLARRY for another hitter!!!!!

Wow that was quick, got the bass today! Bass sounds fantastic!
