The neck isn't particular nice to the touch, but it's still playable. I'll be sanding this to my preferences as well as doing some light fret filing. However, it's worth noting these frets are in the best shape of any Glarry I've had....still a little rough, but no noticable sharp spots.
The body condition is good and the bridge seems centered correctly along with the pickups. I'll be replacing both of these for myself, but they would be fine for a beginning player.
The only real complaint I can find is the strings that come preinstalled are terrible. Very rough to the touch. Thought I might cut my fingers on them. Even if you change nothing else about the bass, these strings should be replaced. The cheapest Ernie Ball or D'Addario strings or any other major brand would be much, much better than these.
