Wow! Beautiful instrument. Nice sunburst...oops...I mean Sunset finish! Plays well. Comparable to much more expensive basses.

Bass came with a defective pick up. They refuse to send me a new one or the parts to repair it. Do not recommend.

I was looking for a 5 string to compliment my 4 string bass, what a surprise, For the money this is a great buy. Light weight and impeccable finish and great sound. After some minor tune up and adjustments to suit my playing style and needs, nothing more than I needed to perform on my much more expensive 4 string bass, the Glarry bass plays and sounds very good. I will say that you may want to watch for sales as the day after I purchased my the price dropped. This did not change my opinion as ...

I will say that you may want to watch for sales as the day after I purchased my the price dropped. This did not change my opinion as even at the higher price it is still a great value. Would I recommend this bass as a value option, absolutely!

I use this bass for my piccolo strings and it sounds wonderful. I love the feel, it's lite. The only problem was the black Polish sticking to your hands on the fretboard. It will leave prints from you playing, and you can see the polish on your calluses. Overall still a wonderful choice.

Better than described thrilled with my 1st 5 string bass don't sleep on this if you interested you wan be disappointed

It's a good little bass for the price. I had to adjust the two heavier strings to eliminate some buzzing but all in all I'm satisfied with the way it sounds and plays.

on April 17, 2021

I couldn't be happier. The build quality is fantastic, especially at this price. There were no finish flaws, no sharp frets, or glue residue. I could see myself being a repeat customer.

thank you very much. i love this thing. im a guitar player, and needed a bass, just to do bass lines on my recordings. i play this thing more than my guitar, like i said. i love it!

Super price on a great beginner instrument. It was playable out of the box. Would I play it professionally? NO but that is not what it is for. This is bass is way better than anything I started with and worth well more than the 129 buck price. With a bridge and some tuners it really could be a gigger. Mine sounds amazingly good both direct and through a nice bass rig. Intonation was close, action good, took just a little truss rod adjustment but these are all things I would have to do to a 2000 ...

Mine sounds amazingly good both direct and through a nice bass rig. Intonation was close, action good, took just a little truss rod adjustment but these are all things I would have to do to a 2000 dollar bass as well. It is light, plays well, sounds good and is a great starter bass or even a good 5 string transition bass. For the price it is simply the best I have seen. As you can see I gave it 5 stars because lets face it this is $120.00 so it is way way more than anyone should expect for that price. I wouldn't have sent it back for twice that.

There's nothing really spectacular about this bass, except for possibly the bang for your buck. What you get is a fairly well made solid instrument that does the job without any unnecessary frills! Mine arrived well packaged and in good condition. There are a couple of minor finish blends, but they aren't noticeable if you're more than a foot away. The set up was nearly spot-on, only a few minor adjustments were required. The neck and fretwork were well done. Frets are smooth with no sharp ends. ...

The set up was nearly spot-on, only a few minor adjustments were required. The neck and fretwork were well done. Frets are smooth with no sharp ends. The fretboard is dry, but that is somewhat expected, and not a big deal. I did send the back of the neck with 1000 grit paper so it is now silky smooth and plays great. The pickups sound very good, though the volume puts taper rather abruptly. Overall, this is a good sounding, very playable bass! I am a happy Glarry customer once again!

Beautiful Craftsmanship. Great Sound and electronics.

Glarry. You guys make amazing bass guitars. Thank You

on March 16, 2021

Awesome Bass! I bought this to transition to 5 strings from four, without breaking the bank. Wish it had split pickups at the neck, but that's what I'm used to. Only needs a basic setup, Fretboard conditioning, polish the frets, set action and intonation just how I like it. I'll be changing to a lighter set of strings, but that's again just my preference. Great value at three times the price!

on March 10, 2021

Bass is very nice and looks good, had to do a little setup on it, like smooth frets, truss rod adjustment and bridge height, but I expected at least that. the pickups are OK, and now that it's setup properly plays very well, no buzzing frets, straight neck, handles as well as my fender precision, the pickups I might change in the future, but it's a great road bass. don't have to worry if someone trashes it or comes up missing, I can just buy another.

I'm new to 5 string and I don't think I could have done any better for a first 5er Bass!! I was actually surprised at the quality. Far exceeded my expectations! Good job Glarry, I'll be buying more.

on March 04, 2021

Pretty nice for $130! Out of the box, all I did was tune it up and it played really good. I'll eventually buy new black knobs, bridge and tuners and it will be sweet!

on March 03, 2021

I received this bass today. I'm happy to say that it's everything I expected and more. I have it sitting next to the Glarry burning fire bass. I plan on purchasing more in the future. Great job Glarry !!

on February 25, 2021

Plays great. I like it more than the 5 str Jazz

It has been a pleasure dealing with great people selling a great product

Just as listed. Great packaging, quick shipment.

Great job by Glarry getting a starter/student bass at such a great price point. Was reasonably playable right out of the box with a very fast ship There were a few minor(to me) issues that might not be acceptable to an intermediate or pro player, but were easily addressed, as follows 1. Cuts with the grain were fine but cuts against the grain were chattered and chipped, sanding fixed. The neck was super rough, sanding also fixed 2. The neck wasn't parallel enough to have the action low. When ...

Great job by Glarry getting a starter/student bass at such a great price point. Was reasonably playable right out of the box with a very fast ship There were a few minor(to me) issues that might not be acceptable to an intermediate or pro player, but were easily addressed, as follows 1. Cuts with the grain were fine but cuts against the grain were chattered and chipped, sanding fixed. The neck was super rough, sanding also fixed 2. The neck wasn't parallel enough to have the action low. When I removed the neck the body cut out was delaminated and uneven on the bottom and .035 too wide.Jig and router and hardwood shim and all fixed 3.The bridge string width is not the same as the pickup pots width so the strings get progressively farther away . I knew that before purchase from the pictures. Sounds fine with a little preamp EQ 4. I cleaned and disinfected the strings before playing but after 10 minutes of playing my fingertips were covered in black "gunk" 5. Nut looked like the slots were molded and two had some flash under the strings. Quick swipe with a nut file and all good To Glarry:: You are one good engineer away from making a really GREAT product at an incredible price

Overall buying this bass was a great experience. The price is very reasonable and it arrived exactly one week after I ordered it. When it arrived the box was damaged near the middle of the neck. I was worried the bass would also be damaged. Luckily it was not, I credit the styrofoam that the bass was packaged in. I encourage Glarry to ship all their instruments this way. Encasing the instruments in styrofoam this way is a great way to ensure the delivery of an undamaged item. The bass looks gre ...

Encasing the instruments in styrofoam this way is a great way to ensure the delivery of an undamaged item. The bass looks great and feels great. The paint is flawless. The neck has a smooth finish and absolutely no fret-sprouts. The only complaint, if you call call it that, is there is fret buzz. That I can remedy myself with some minor adjustments. So keep up the good work Glarry, I've become quite a fan of your products!

The GIB 5 string arrived on time, but the box was badly damaged. I thought for sure the Bass would damaged, but to my surprise it is not. The Bass plays pretty good for the price paid. I plan to change the pickups because they are pretty weak, especially on the Low B string. I've replaced the pickups on my Glarry Jazz Bass 4 string for the same reason. I will also put flatwound strings on the Bass. The tuning keys seem to be holding up for now, but I might put Gotoh tuners on in the future. I pu ...

I put a set of Gotoh tuners on my Glarry 4 String Bass and it stays in tune very well. There are some minor finish flaws on the body of the Bass, but nothing very noticeable. Over all for the price paid, I'm satisfied with this 5 String Bass and I will be ordering a hard shell case from Glarry to protect it.

I'm very satisfied with my bass.

I bought this to give to one of my brothers as a Christmas gift. I don't know much about electric instruments, but it looked very nice when I first unpacked it to make sure it arrived undamaged. The finish was great and the wood's grain looked very nice. He said he tuned it and did a little work on it, and seems to enjoy it.
