Arrived in pristine condition. Finish and fit are awesome, a beautiful instrument! I wanted to explore 5-string bass and this bass feels incredible! After a setup and intonation it performs beautifully. Lovely grain and the pickups really deliver. If a maple fretboard becomes available I will purchase another!

I don't think I've ever been more impressed with a budget instrument out of the box. The bass arrived quickly and well packaged. I don't think I've ever written a five star review for anything, but this bass is an exception. Now, as always, there were issues that come with any budget instrument, particularly one this cheap. 1. The neck was bowed and there was ZERO tension on the truss rod. A few turns of the included allen key, and the neck straightened right up. 2. The outside edges ...

I don't think I've ever been more impressed with a budget instrument out of the box. The bass arrived quickly and well packaged. I don't think I've ever written a five star review for anything, but this bass is an exception. Now, as always, there were issues that come with any budget instrument, particularly one this cheap. 1. The neck was bowed and there was ZERO tension on the truss rod. A few turns of the included allen key, and the neck straightened right up. 2. The outside edges of the nut are cut very bluntly. It won't cut your hand, but running into that sharp plastic is quite uncomfortable. 60 seconds of light sanding with one of my girlfriend's emory boards fixed the issue. 3. The poll pieces of the pickups are not properly aligned. This is more of a rule than an exception, especially with instruments of this price range. I notice no significant change in the volume of the affected strings. The first two issues were easily corrected and the third doesn't seem to affect tone, volume, or playability. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this bass to a beginner, or a seasoned player like myself looking to expand their tonal arsenal. Outstanding. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had a little bow in the neck .To fix that when I'm not playing take all the tension off the strings

Absolutely amazing product for not only this price point, but for an all around instrument for any level player. I personally did a setup and was ready to go. Customer Service was quick and on point. I received my bass much faster than the expected delivery date. Thanks again Glarry!!!

The first one I got unfortunately had a stripped truss rod HOWEVER the customer service helped right away and sent another which ended up perfect they really spent time Making the bass feel and play incredibly. I will definitely be purchasing another instrument from glarry 10/10

The entire process has been excellent until it reached my hands, the product with the protections and dust care, I also had the corresponding accessories with me. I leave four stars because the cover or bass protector is too small

This is my second Glarry 5 string Bass. The necknonbthe jazz is a little wider than my other 5 string. I love everything about it. My only disappointment is the gain from the pickups, they are about 15db quieter than my Percission basses. I can compensate for that, but a disappointment anyway.

Bought both the GIB and GJazz! Everything was just as expected and more. Very happy

Received my bass a few days ago, had the chance to check it out. Right off the bat I noticed the neck was a little fatter than I would like it, The fret board was comfortable to play. The hard ware such as tuning gears, handles, bridge, and nuts were of very good quality. The sound was great!! couldn't tell a whole lot of difference between my $400.00 Ibanez and the $129.00 Glarry J Bass. all functions worked. I did notice that the treble nobs are very sensitive and sound like their wide open ...

I did notice that the treble nobs are very sensitive and sound like their wide open when you use them. Rosewood neck is nice, but rather had a maple neck on this one. I have the Glarry GIB 5 STring and the sounds are very very close. Both Basses are a great buy for the buck I would say this one is a winner in it all. After a small amount of tweeking and adjusting it is great. Lowered The Bridge, strings were a little high off the fret board but after lowering them to taste everything was fine. I would buy another Glarry Bass. Looking to try one of the keyboards next as I am a keyboardist also.

Action is very bad. Frets are buzzy and not leveled. I'm honestly disappointed.

My guitar came in with the frets buzzing. you sent a video that did not help. Your customer service rep was going to send me a return shipping label but never did. And no it not go to spam. I ended up keeping it and paying a guitar tech $120 to correct the problem which was the frets were uneven. He put a gauging tool on the neck and showed me the defect. Now the bass plays just fine. It is definitely worth $149.00. Maybe you could send me something for my troubles like a tea shirt XXL and i'll ...

I've been playing bass for over 50 years and have owned and built probably 60 instruments. I prefer 5 string with a low B and am partial to a Fender jazz style 2 pickup passive configuration. I got my Glarry last week, unboxed it , and immediately removed the neck and pulled the frets off. Yep, I'm a fretless dude, upright and electric and yes, both 5 string.

Sanded and filled the fingerboard slots, dyed it and oiled the board and then restrung the bass with some D'Addario half rounds. Plugged it in and......wow! Wonderful sustain, GREAT fretless growl, very even tone across the board...ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! No, I don't recommend you get one and immediately alter it ,but I knew what sound I was looking for and this Glarry nails it. And for $140 shipped??? Can not be beat!! And the craftsmanship is pretty damn good:)

I bought it for occasionally playing alone and small rehearsals, Sounds great, only concern was with the paint, two woods came in different color, but i guess for the price its ok, also its hard to play with the left hand because of the deep neck, but again, for the price its great if you want something better go to usd 700+ price range

on December 17, 2021

The bass came shipped with a broken nut on the low b string side. 5 string basses aren't too useful when the 5th string doesn't come in working condition. Still haven't heard back from the Glarry Customer Service about that issue. But otherwise looks and sounds okay.

Excelente instrumento, muy buena compra. Como musico professional puedo certificar que este bajo no es solo para principiantes. El sonido y calidad compite con otras marcas faamosas

Very good I'm very please

I am a music professional, making my living touring, teaching and playing, based out of Los Angeles. I am very surprised at the practicality and useability of this instrument. I bought just to see how good or bad it was, and I have to say, for the money? It's a GREAT deal. I was a little unhappy with the wood grain on the particular bass that was sent to me, it's not beautiful to look at, like the photo, but that's hit or miss, understandably, when someone else is grabbing a boxed instrument wit ...

This bass might even end up going on the road! We'll see!! All 'n All? Great purchase. I love the idea of affordable instruments. I feel the whole industry is way overpriced as it is....$7,500 for a bass?! Nooo Waaay!! Ever!!

I read so many reviews before I finally purchased that the original choice wasn't available in the color I want and I hesitated again and the bass I wanted wasn't available at all. I settled for this one and I dont feel like I settled at all. This is an awesome bass for how much it cost. There are minor inconsistencies like the pick ups weren't put in correctly and but still worked. Cosmetically the finish is awesome. Neck doesn't come finished but that's ok. That's not hard to do. I plan on put ...

There are minor inconsistencies like the pick ups weren't put in correctly and but still worked. Cosmetically the finish is awesome. Neck doesn't come finished but that's ok. That's not hard to do. I plan on putting better parts in it and that was kinda the plan all along and from the reviews I've read most people have that intention but right out the box it's awesome. I own 3 Ibanez bass guitars and this one is equally as cool.

ALL IS GOOD WITH MY NEW BASS, I'LL BE IN TOUCH AGAIN IN THE NEAR FUTURE ON OTHER ORDERS

on June 01, 2021

Received my GJazz bass guitar on May 27th, when I opened the box the one of the tuning keys was lying in the box. I thought it had been shipped that way and I had to install it myself. I recently viewed some other Glarry bass unboxings on YouTube,and found that mine was shipped broken.

on June 19, 2021

After submitting my review, I was contacted by Lin; he was very helpful. My bass arrived with a broken tuning peg, he offered a small refund or a complete replacement. I explained that I like the merchandise, I just wanted the part to have it installed. I received the parts within a week. That alone deserves a new rating of 5 stars. Thanks Lin.

Fast shipping and great quality five string bass. Awesome place to order.

Send me a 6 string bass when you guys start making them!You folks are the best,love your instruments, thanks

on April 12, 2021

The bass i great for the price, there is slight buzzing but that can easily be fixed! Great purchase overall

on April 06, 2021

Very nice,,,the finish is flawless,,,neck and fret board are great,,I will change the pickups and Tuners,,but that's just me,,,for a first 5 string or for someone like me that is looking for a nice solid body and neck to do mods to,,this one is perfect,,glad I got it

on March 13, 2021

Wonderful purchase. You will not be disappointed! Setup was great.

on February 25, 2021

Very good value.

on March 20, 2021

I'm very satisfied with this instrument.

on February 20, 2021

The bass far exceeded my expectations!!! Great looks and construction for a $129 bass. I've upgraded my pickups to EMG and it sounds massive. My only complaints are the bridge jacks up my tuning every time I make adjustments, and my G string tuner came in slightly bent. No big deal being that this is a project bass so I'll be changing both of these. Overall, I'm loving it though. Thank you Glarry!

I'm a veteran bassist with countless performances and recordings to my credit. I've owned fender, gibson, ibanez, Warrick, etc, but my 3 Glarrys are amazing. So much bass for so little money. This recent 5 string jazz bass will be going into the recording studio with me in February. Once I set them up my way, they get "gigged" immediately. I look forward to trying whatever Glarry has to offer, peace.
