GLARRYBass Guitar Full Size 4 String Exquisite Stylish Bass with Guitar Bag Power Line and Wrench Tool (Dark Blue, With AMP)

I'm am absolutely blown away. I was not expecting how nice this bass was. I bought this with the intent of having a project guitar that I'd spend time fixing up and making really nice, but out of the box this thing is AMAZING for how much it costs. Most of the work I was planning on doing to this I didn't even need to touch as it was perfect out of the box. I still can't really believe itFirstly I'd like to say that I've played bass for a while now and I've held axes much much more expensive than this from some very reputable names and this guitar has felt better than even some of those.Some of the positives I received out of the box- Only one buzzy fret, fixed in 20 seconds by just raising the action a hair.- Action itself came out of the box at the perfect height once tuned.-all of the strings were perfectly intonated except one which was only about 8th of a tone off once you reached the 12th fret.-absolutley no hanging frets , massive plusA common complaint I saw about this bass is that the neck is quite large for a jazz bass. I'm not entirely sure if this is true since I've mostly played precision style basses and can't speak for jazz basses but I can absolutely say that mines neck is nowhere near as wide as most precision bass necks I've played. I don't have very large hands and I'm still able to get ALL FIVE , yes five, fingers on the fret board, meaning I'm able to fret all four fingers and even wrap my thumb over to fret the e string with ease.I also adore the pickups this thing ships with. I've gotten such an awesome variety of tone from them. As someone who plays many styles of music, I couldn't be happier.All of the hardware feels solid, the body finish is gorgeous, and it's a blast to play. It feels so so good in my hands.I know the bass guitar is the main squeeze but I figured I'd also touch on the accessories it ships with since some beginners may want to know about these.-The gig bag is more of a "dust cover" rather than a gig bag. It's awkward to get your bass into it and it has no padding whatsoever. That said, it does have back straps so you can carry the bass on your back and have your hands free to carry other things but the straps are dubious and I'm not so sure I'd want to trust this gig bag for regular transport. You can spend 20 bucks and get a proper padded one that is much much nicer and with more extra storage for cables and whatnot-speaking of, the cable it ships with is nothing special, it does work. It certainly feels like a cheaper cable but it will get the job done until you can get another one.-the strap is also very cheap. Made of the same material the back/shoulder straps of the gig bag are. It is also quite small. I had to fully adjust it out to it's largest settings just to match what would be considered a normal adjustment on most straps. It'll work if there is nothing else but I recommend finishing yourself something better, especially since this strap doesn't counteract the neck dive very well (more on that later)-it also comes with a pick and an Allen wrench for neck adjustments. Definitely keep the Allen wrench around just Incase you need to make truss rod adjustments. Mine came perfect but I'm not sure how ac is with a guitar this cheap so better safe than sorry. The pick is ok. Nothing special. Its just a standard sized "medium" thickness pick. It'll work but I'm sure you'll lose it at some point anyways so go ahead and buy some more if you haven't. Plus for them giving me my favorite color though <3Here are the few critiques I've had for this bass, all of which are very negligible and easily fixed with minimal effort. Not so bad, especially since I was expecting to put work into it.- Neck was a tad bit too rough. It's unfinished, which I prefer since there's no laquer or coating to want to stick to your hand as you slide and play, but it could've used a touch of sanding. Therefore I proceeded to hit it with a very minimal amount of sand paper for about 10 seconds and it was perfect. Very smooth on the hand.- Body finish had a hairline crack at the valley of the top horn. Its super small, barely noticeable. About half a cm long. I only noticed it when I was checking to see if there was a gap in the sides of the neck joint (which there is but it's super super tiny, not even a business card could fit between it.)- The biggest issue I have with this bass is it's weight. This bass is insanely light. Now I know alot of people think that is a plus, especially beginners. However, since the bass is so light, it makes it unbalanced which causes neck dive, which is where if standing with a guitar strap and not actively holding it, it will tend to slide down and point towards the ground, which is not what you want if you are wanting a nice playing experience. With that said. This particular guitars neck dive is not super egregious. There a many ways to counter unbalanced guitars and since this guitar is so light, those remedies will be even easier to apply without making the guitar unweildy. My first suggestion would be to get a nice thick strap made of a high friction material. This by itself will most likely fix 90 percent of the neck dive with this guitar. If you want to truly make it balanced though, you can also add a counter weight to the body end of the strap or even add weight to the body itself via lead weights under the cover or in a bag or something attached to lower strap point. You could also experiment with moving the strap points themselves but I wouldn't recommend this unless you know what youre doing.All in all. This thing sounds great, feels great, is extremely affordable, very beginner friendly, make awesome guitars for custom projects, and ship with minimal issues that are easily fixable. Glarry made a huge fan of me today!

I have to say that I am really impressed. I have always wanted to learn to play bass, but did not want to spend a lot of money. I was somewhat skeptical until I read the reviews, but still maintained some level of skepticism. The bass sounds great considering the cost, and I'm playing it through a low-end amp. I'm sure a more expensive and higher quality bass would sound better, but for a bass to learn on and just have fun with, you can't beat this. This is a fantastic option for anyone who wants to learn, but not fully committed to the bass and for kids who are interested in the bass. It makes me want to explore other Glarry instruments.

This review will cover both the utility of the GJazz for beginners, and its value as a platform for upgrades/modification.My Glarry arrived earlier than expected, well protected and completely undamaged.Unboxing it revealed a mixed bag. Most issues I have revolve around the neck, and the finishing.Neck is solidly made of hard maple and a nice rosewood slab fretboard. The edges on the headstock are done a bit crudely, and the Glarry logo appears to be silkscreened on. It isn't coated, and might easily rub off. It is sharp and clear.The frets are installed cleanly. The fret ends are not sharp, but could use more finishing. Frets themselves could use a final buff. The tuners are a trifle rough; easy fix with a dab of light grease. They do have a bit of backlash. They tune well enough, and do hold tune.The GJazz is sold as a substitute or analog for the Fender Jazz Bass, but the neck is completely different in profile. Width at the nut is more like a Precision, and it is thicker too. Players with smaller hands will need to get used to it. It is not heavy enough to neck dive, and it does-JUST- balance.The neck plate, bridge, and control plate are all heavy steel stampings, well-chromed. The pickguard is a good quality laminated vinyl part, black/white/black in color with good beveled edges. It fits well.The body is by far the best feature. The grain is beautiful, and the clear yellow finish is deep, flawless, and accents the wood grain.So how does it work?Setup was pretty good. Intonation is in, but the string action is high. It plays well, but when the action is lowered, it plays GREAT. There are no buzzy frets or dead spots. The tones available are varied, and it sounds good on either or both pickups. There is some 60-cycle hum present, but this cancels with the volume full on both pickups (like a Jazz Bass).It has a nice, snappy high end, especially on the bridge pickup. It lacks some punch on the bottom end, but still sounds good.Controls all work as they should.This bass is VERY light, and easy to handle.Overall, this bass would make an excellent first choice for a beginner. It's not perfect, but it plays and sounds really good. It is beautiful to look at, too! Recommended.For you modders and hot-rodders, it's still a good choice. I didn't especially like the neck and tuners, but the knobs, control plate, neck plate, pickguard, and body were all quite good and I used them. I added two knobs from IKN. The bridge is good quality too, but I went with a Musiclily cast zinc bridge and Wilkinson brass saddles for more mass.The body is GORGEOUS and ready to use. Neck pocket routing was slightly rough, but exactly right for a standard Fender-style heel block.Controls work fine, but the pots are light-duty and small. Pickups are NOT standard Jazz Bass sized, they are a bit smaller. Not a problem for my build, as I upgraded to BQLZR musicman type humbuckers. Pots were replaced with TAOT 500k, and capacitors replaced with 22microfarad polys. A switch was added, and a Les Paul patterned circuit was used for fully independent control of the pickups. On the control plate, all 4 holes were drilled to accept 4 fullsized pots. A Musiclily endplate with jack was added to move the input jack to the edge of the body.The tuners were replaced with Fender Highway Ones, and the neck with a Kmise paddle headstock in Jazz Bass profile. Headstock was shaped like a Jazz, decaled, and lacquered. I fabricated a brass nut from a piece of music-grade 1/8" brass plate.The strap buttons were replaced with Planet Waves oval strap keepers.This was an easy and fun build. The hardest part was making a routing template to mount the pickups, and freehand routing a switch pocket and channel!All assembled, my GJazz was transformed into a funk monster. Action is low and soft, it has tons of output, and the tones are KILLER. It is so punchy and bright! It's also completely hum-free at all settings.You may question the amount of work investment in this project, but look at it this way: Where else can you get a gorgeous brand new Jazz Bass body, finished, for a paltry $103? All the other useful pieces are a bonus!! Cost of this project all-in is about $250, and it is EXACTLY what I was looking for.To sum up, I recommend the Glarry GJazz enthusiastically. It works right in both roles that it's suitable for, and it would also be a fantastic backup or spare bass.Get one while they're cheap and plentiful!

LOVE THIS! MY DAUGHTER WANTED TO START PLAYING BASS AS SHE ALREADY PLAYS GUITAR. THIS WAS INEXPENSIVE AND A GREAT STARTER BASS FOR HER. SHE HAS THRIVED WITH THIS BASS AND IN THE FUTURE MAY GET A BETTER ONE, BUT THE SOUND QUALITY OF THIS BASS IS GREAT
