Fretless board missing dot on "fret" no. 3

on November 17, 2022

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 ...

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 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.

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

The quality of the instrument for the price is astounding. The bass was set up well right out of the box. Speaking of which, the transport packaging could do with some improvement as the neck was slightly damaged (see image). Not a terribly big deal but somewhat noticeable as the nick is right where my thumb rests on the neck. Nevertheless, I can only recommend Glarry instruments, especially if you're looking to do adjustments and setting up yourself without having to worry about doing damage. T ...

This is my second instrument from Glarry and I am certain that I will be back for more. Oh, and it shipped incredibly fast.

Great bass guitar at any price. This bass guitar is a beautiful instrument with rich tone and great sound. Light weight makes it very playable. Recorded with it right out of the box. Definitely recommend.

I'm sorry to write a for rather than a five because I hope it wasn't the shipping provider's problem but my purchase arrived with a large dent hole in the box. Everything else appears to be great!

I'm a bassist with 43 years of experience and I already own 35 basses so I definitely didn't 'need' another bass. I ordered the fretless with no expectations because of such a low price. Upon opening the box I realized this bass looks good. I changed the strings to flatwounds, set the bridge, tweaked the truss rod and it was good to go. I never expected a satin finish neck but I've got to tell you...I really like this bass. Well worth the phenomenal low price. If you're expecting an Alembic then ...

If you're expecting an Alembic then keep shopping but for the low cost I'm happy. I'm going to enjoy this bass for a good long time. Thanks Glarry for a damn decent and affordable product.

Finally got my hands on one of these basses! I think I've wanted a fretless bass now for forty years! If you want to try a fretless bass and you're on a budget, this is the way to go! Very happy!

Sure, the hardware (tuners, bridge, knobs) are a little on the "affordable" side...however-it plays very well-especially for the price! Most peeps that purchase this bass will probably swap out their own electronics and hardware anyway. And I don't have any complaints about it being too "neck-heavy"...the necks could probably be a smidge thinner in circumference-but, at $99, who's complaining?

This instrument surpasses my expectations. It's solidly built, wonderfully lightweight, metal parts solids, volume and tone have absolutely no static, output is equal to my Fender Jazz Bass USA but it's more fun to play than the Jazz! There are some weird issues at the nut. It's concave which is odd. But for the price, it is a terrific, well built, fun ax

First of all, it is a great deal. 1) UPS, the tracking was not good. I got first day and then nothing until I got "out for delivery" five days later. 2) The volume pot was wired wrong. The pickup wire was soldered to the taper lug on the volume pot. The jack should have that connection. 3) The electronic cavities is not shielded, which I did not expected. But now fixed. 4) It would be a good help, if all the frets would have been marked. I did that with tape, huge difference for me with the ...

The bass is very much playable after some adjustments and new strings. I love it!

I just received the fretless bass guitar about a week ago. I was looking for a beginners type since I wasn't sure if I'd like playing it. I love it. I thought there would be no indicators whatsoever in regards to fret markings making it a real task to play. But, there were markings for the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th & 12th frets. Now I'm looking to get an acoustic guitar from this company. The bass sounds great and I can't even really tell its for beginners. Thank you Glarry

The amount of fun I have with this bass is worth way more than the price of admission. The bass is light, your back will thank you. The body has a nice glossy natural finish. The volume and tone controls are simple and responsive. It sounds like a P bass should! The neck is smooth, the fingerboard is flat. After a setup, my action is nice and low, plenty of fretless mwah. The tuning machines function well, I did make a point to lubricate them, and they work as intended. For my own personal prefe ...

The tuning machines function well, I did make a point to lubricate them, and they work as intended. For my own personal preferences, I painted the white pickguard, and thinned and reshaped the neck profile.
