Other than the delivery guy being a dumbass and leaving it in the yard (not Glarry's fault) everything shipped fine and arrived about as expected. For the price i did expect some finishing roughness and there were a few small areas that needed some TLC with fine sandpaper (i like a satin neck), but honestly for 119 bucks and me planning to strip and refinish everything, really not bad. electronics sounds fine, neck was playable out of the box, tuners are fine.

Other than the delivery guy being a dumbass and leaving it in the yard (not Glarry's fault) everything shipped fine and arrived about as expected. For the price i did expect some finishing roughness and there were a few small areas that needed some TLC with fine sandpaper (i like a satin neck), but honestly for 119 bucks and me planning to strip and refinish everything, really not bad. electronics sounds fine, neck was playable out of the box, tuners are fine. Strings were crap, but i play stupid-huge 145 Stringjoys exclusively anyway, so that's not a problem and again, for the price of a brand new 5-string with strings, bag, etc, I'm pretty happy. You cant expect to pay a hundred bucks and get a Fodera, but as a starter bass or a project for a builder to tinker on, very solid usable instrument for dirt-cheap. In fact, after Stringjoy just released their 165 ultraheavy set, i ordered another Glarry 5-string just so I'd have something for it to go on. Lol. perfect little project bass for a drop G tuning experiment. Excited to get it.
