I'm very pleased with my Glarry GIB bass with 20W amplifier purchase. As a guitarist that just wanted to learn some bass lines for various songs, I found that the GIB bass exceeds my expectations. After an initial tuning the bass has stayed in tune very well and the intonation going up the fretboard is consistently in tune well past the 12th fret. In addition, the 20W amplifier sounds quite good and offers plenty of volume for practice or recording. Harmonics at the 7th, 12th, and 19th fre ...

In addition, the 20W amplifier sounds quite good and offers plenty of volume for practice or recording. Harmonics at the 7th, 12th, and 19th frets ring out nicely and in tune for the A,D, and G strings. For the low E string, I had to use a pick to get much of a harmonic tone. The included carry bag is more of a dust cover as it has no padding to protect the instrument, so I will be replacing that part of the combo package.

I'm only giving 4 stars because I'm not sure of the sound quality. It shipped very quickly. Arrived in a carefully packed box. My daughter gets lots of compliments on the color. She took it to school to tune and play, so I've yet to hear it play. Overall happy with my purchase thus far.

The guitar looks nice and the functionality is solid. However, the pick guard is a printed texture "red pearl" which isn't a big deal. The deal breaker is the mirror-backed plastic piece that covers the volume knob and the cable jack. It looks like metal in the picture (and like every other guitar on the market, cheap or expensive, it should be). This piece of plexiglass is the Achille's heel of the whole rig. You have to hold it down to keep it from flexing too much when unplugging the guitar ...

You have to hold it down to keep it from flexing too much when unplugging the guitar. I get that it is an affordable instrument, but that piece of plastic is going to break in a year or less, regardless of how much it is babied. If not for that, this value bass guitar would easily get five stars. A five inch piece of chrome metal was a weird place to "cheap-out" and swap in a junk plastic part.
