It was a gift, for a young man who use to play a full bass in a school band. He seemed very happy when he opened the box. Will let you know more later. Thank you for your next day delivery. That was great!!! Went to look at the tracking # and was told it was outside my door. WOW!

I am rather new to the Bass and I'm still taking baby steps. I have a fretted bass, but wanted to give the fretless a try. The Glarry fretless seemed like a good dtarting point. I wanted to try fretless w/o investing a lot of money. This guitar checks all the boxes. It is a beautiful guitar, seems to be well built and solid. It sounds great and I find I really enjoy playing fretless and the sound you get by working inbetween frets. This is a super deal - the guitar is wonderful to play and with ...

It sounds great and I find I really enjoy playing fretless and the sound you get by working inbetween frets. This is a super deal - the guitar is wonderful to play and with the extras included you just can't go wrong for the price. I would buy again without hesitation! 5-stars for certain. Oh, shipping was very fast and no issues with the items being damaged. Well done, Glarry!

Great out the box;no setup needed. The position markets are a little confusing for a novice though. Super great all around.

The fretless bass is ok for a beginner. The fret board was really rough. The plastic nut was cut to deep causing the strings to bottom out in the F and F# position. And the strings are garbage. It has a nice tone and the finish on the body is good. The tuners was hard to turn. It got here pretty quick and undamaged. The truss rod is fine. The fretboard needed work, I had to sand it with 320. Then coated with polyurethane along with the whole neck. If you don't know how to do that your out of ...

The bass is ok. It needs a little work, but that's to be expected. The shipping was fast, I got it undamaged. The company reached out to me and addressed the issue, that's appreciated. Thanks.

Its cheap and it sounds good great for intermediate players

Fretless board missing dot on "fret" no. 3

Lets see, I was waiting awhile before I added a review. Was looking for a inexpensive fretless bass for a while, played a buddy's like 30 yrs ago, liked it. So my quest to find one that didn't break the bank incase I did no longer want it. Well I came across Glarry looking through Google. Well here I go for 99 bucks to my door, if it even plays somewhat that's a cheap try. I got it in like 2 days, opened the box and unwrapped everything.

Well here I go for 99 bucks to my door, if it even plays somewhat that's a cheap try. I got it in like 2 days, opened the box and unwrapped everything. WOW surprise number one, the finish was really nice, the feel of the neck was also ok, had a little neck setup, which was no big deal. Well lets try it on an amp, I run a Peavey 1000 watt head, 4 x 10 and an 118 18", the only answer is WOW thunder plus I was really surprised on the tone that it throws out. The playability is good, there are some odds and ends but remember what do you want for 99 bucks. It's not a Fender, or Ibanez, but it plays fine. I play professionally and semi - pro. been doing this for 55 years, will be 70 in a few months, not slowing down for no one. this is really a nice axe, light weight sound good and plays easy. Love it, will buy another from Glarry.

This is a nice bass... Just a bit of set up...and it plays well. I can get really great sounds out of this fretless. Really sound instrument. Good purchase

on August 02, 2023

Really great bass for the money - had some minor quibbles, but nothing that wasn't fixable. The edge of the pickguard needed deburring all the way around, and the nut slots were a bit rough. Quite a few of the pickguard screws were angled off-center, there was a ton of sawdust and polishing compound underneath, and some of the stain on the neck came off on my hands at first. Gave the fretboard a coat of mineral oil, lubed up the tuners, and gave it a good setup (nice that it came with a neck shi ...

Gave the fretboard a coat of mineral oil, lubed up the tuners, and gave it a good setup (nice that it came with a neck shim already) and some new flatwounds, and it plays fantastically well. For a sub-$100 bass, I'm impressed that I didn't have to do any more extensive repairs.

Great transaction and superior product for this price!! Great product and fast delivery!! Highly recommend and I am a professional music educator and performer!!

on May 01, 2023

Very satisfied with this purchase. Excellent intro instrument into the fretless world. Arrived in good condition and playable out of the box. Neck heavy but that was expected when paying such a low price. Proves that you can make decent guitars without charging a fortune.

I have been playing fretted instruments for 44 years and bass for 20 of those years, but I have never played a frettless bass in my life until I decided to try this one. it was inexpensive enough to risk the failure. I LOVE IT! I was worried that I wouldn't know where the notes were but my ears and muscle memory were true to the sound. It feels natural and I found that I wasn't even looking at where my fingers are. The hard part will be when I actually play it at church in the praise band: I hav ...

I'm a studio & session bassist with a P bass, a J bass and an EB/MM and I can't say enough about this fretless bass! It showed up in 4 days, packed nicely in the box inside the included gig bag. I took it out of the box, tuned it & started playing immediately. It was already set-up and ready to go. The strings are a half-round that feel nice on the fingers without gouging the fingerboard. And that thing is thicker than what's on my P-bass. It's really light compared to the usual bass. So much th ...

I'm a studio & session bassist with a P bass, a J bass and an EB/MM and I can't say enough about this fretless bass! It showed up in 4 days, packed nicely in the box inside the included gig bag. I took it out of the box, tuned it & started playing immediately. It was already set-up and ready to go. The strings are a half-round that feel nice on the fingers without gouging the fingerboard. And that thing is thicker than what's on my P-bass. It's really light compared to the usual bass. So much that you'll think it'll sound crappy but, wait until you plug in. This thing is loud if you want it to be. The pickups are the usual P style but punchy and clear FOR A $100 BASS! The tone control works, yes, it works and is more of a treble roll-off and the lows are not that muddy. The volume control has a good range as well. It's not just 0 to 1 to 8, it's got a nice gradual increase or decrease from 1-10. And the finish is incredible, Seriously, no flaws, or inclusions anywhere in the paint. (I have the Black cherry burst) I'm so happy with the quality of this fretless that I plan on buying 2 more to give to my friends as gifts. Again, FOR A $100 FRETLESS BASS you can't go wrong especially if you're learning to play a fretless. And if you want to get into guitar repair these guitars are a good place to start for an axe you'd be learning on.

on January 02, 2023

Everything I expected. The quality was surprisingly good taking into account the remarkably cheap price.

Lowered action, changed strings and adjusted intonation Nice bass!

on December 16, 2022

I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of this inexpensive fretless bass. Delivered in about a week, adequately packaged, good playability right out of the box, light weight body finished nicely. I changed the strings to flat wounds and lowered the action a bit and am enjoying playing this bass. I really don't think I'd bother to modify it at all at this point. Great instrument for the price!

on November 22, 2022

Amazing quality for the price! Will definitely be buying from you guys in the future!!! Fast shipping also❤️❤️❤️

Pretty honest instrument at the price point! I'm a working drummer getting into bass so after a couple of months learning on my fretted jazz bass, I wanted to try a fretless mostly because I love the tone it produces. The lack of lines or guides in the fingerboard cans be challenging, but if you're used to a fretted one and have good ears, you'll overcome it real quick. The intonation and action right out of the box was perfect! Much better than my Indo Squier that took me days to put the ne ...

I'm a working drummer getting into bass so after a couple of months learning on my fretted jazz bass, I wanted to try a fretless mostly because I love the tone it produces. The lack of lines or guides in the fingerboard cans be challenging, but if you're used to a fretted one and have good ears, you'll overcome it real quick. The intonation and action right out of the box was perfect! Much better than my Indo Squier that took me days to put the neck straight, and it keeps on bending in the Florida crazy moisture and heat. The Glarry bass neck keeps straight as an arrow, with very little relief as it's my personal preference. I feel that I'm gonna need a new nut because it's hard to get the notes on the first "fret" position. Other than that, no modifications needed so far. It holds the tune very well, although I feel the tuning machines are weak to the pressure. Time will tell. I had a small problem with electronics on mine. Out of the box, it didn't make any sound. No output at all. Tried different cables, amps and nothing. Glarry customer service worked to solve the problem and I sent the bass to a repair shop after they refunded me the amount needed to get it done. I really appreciate the way this company make business and certainly will buy other products in the near future. As others mentioned, get yourself a tuner, erase the white dots on side of the neck and write new ones. I'm having a lot of fun with this bass! P.S: I used vinyl adhesive to change the pickguard look. Pretty easy job and I didn't need to buy a new one.

I was looking for an affordable fretless bass, a rare item, (I actually didn't think that I would find one) and came across Glarrymusic. All of the reviews of the instruments that Glarry offered were positive, and so I took a chance and ordered one. Wow...I was pleasantly surprised beyond my expectations.

It is solidly, even beautifully made, and the set-up was playable right out of the box. Great balance and finish, the tuners are stable, pots smooth, it simply feels good to play. Even the existing pickups are fine, though it could probably be improved even further with an upgrade (as is commonly done with low price point versions of guitars and basses from the more well known name brands). It is an incredible value, probably one of the best purchases, musical or otherwise, that I have made. Highly recommended.

Bought as a gift for a bass player in the family. Exceeded my expectations. We even took it to a local very reputable shop and was told it was in great shape. Just needed a little bit of tuning and she was ready to start playing it. Thank you Glarry!

I'd been casually looking for a "used" fretless bass for a while......and then I found this one NEW at a price that made it an attractive option. I read the reviews that I could find....and decided to give it go. It is ultra light weight...which is a plus and a minus... it is a bit neck heavy and wants to neck dive a little. Not having any "fret lines" is inconvenient and makes things a little challenging, but... it really isn't as hard to play in tune as I had anticipated.... as long as I am pl ...

Not having any "fret lines" is inconvenient and makes things a little challenging, but... it really isn't as hard to play in tune as I had anticipated.... as long as I am playing along with another melodic instrument to gauge my intonation. Playing only with a drum track.... not so good with my imperfect sense of pitch. The body was listed as "basswood".... and after a little research, I believe this is actually Paulownia or wood from the Empress Tree which is prevalent in China where these are manufactured...and matches the grain structure on the guitar.... unlike the grain structure of basswood. Light duty hardware in looks, but it is doing a great job as of the writing of this review.

It is not my first time buying from Glarry but I was in the market for a fretless bass. I received it in less than a week from my purchase date and I was impressed by how good the bass felt to play. I got the sunset color option finish is quite nice as there weren't any blemishes in the paint. I had to adjust the truss rod to get it playable as the action came a little too low for the first position to be audible. The bass comes with the tool for that adjustment and Glarry was happy enough to st ...

This fretless bass is a great deal that can't be overlooked! No doubt I'll be back to buy more products from Glarry!

For the price it's really not bad Learning to play fretless on a budget Did some upgrades

Very nice product craftsmanship on the body was excellent neck is straight. Worked as it should great product to model and upgrade I installed a hip shot drop D tuning and ernie ball flat wound strings Hey Seymour Duncan quarter pound pick up and electronics and a costum pick guard this is a real workhorse of a machine and the weight of the guitar is perfect

I am 100% satisfied with this purchase - I couldn't even identify a single suggestion for improvement. It is probably my 12th bass. I have had much worse than this one including at several times the price. This one is THAT good! I played a casual gig a few days after receiving it, absolultely love the sounds and playability of this one, and am thinking of making this one my main bass for certain gigs like this. If only they had any 5 string fretless bass in production (hint hint - I will buy one ...

I received the fretless bass that I ordered, and I do have a couple of comments. After playing it, I was pleased with quality considering the low price. The only concern I had were with the tuning pegs. The bass does not stay in tune, and as I try to tune it, the tuning pegs seem to lock up and then loosen to a fault. I will have to replace the tuning pegs as they just don't work. Other than that, a decent bass for the price. I would like to purchase additional guitars/bass guitars, but I am con ...

For the price I have to give it 5 stars. The strings they ship with are unusable, they literally feel jagged tin and sound like it. Clip them off and try some nylons or something else. The dots are completely off, just get a tuner and a pencil to mark the side frets yourself. For the price you can't beat it, totally playable with aftermarket strings.

Great bass for trying out fretless...full scale and low price.
