This bass is exceptional and I recommend it to anyone at any level. Right from the box, it was easy to play just some minor adjustments with the action and the intonation. The tone is exceptionally good. , Terry Copley 37 year professional bassist. 2007 Grammy nominee.

I have to say, when I 1st saw the prices at Glarry's, I was a bit skeptical. A year and 5 Glarry Basses later I have to say that being a House Music and Disco producer for 31 years I am very impressed! Ofcourse since the beginning of time, I played, repaired and even built countless musical instruments. I do see things that most novice consumers don't. If you don't pay attention to the unbelievable $150 pricetag for the upraded P Bass, you will easily think you are playing a much more expensive ...

I have to say, when I 1st saw the prices at Glarry's, I was a bit skeptical. A year and 5 Glarry Basses later I have to say that being a House Music and Disco producer for 31 years I am very impressed! Ofcourse since the beginning of time, I played, repaired and even built countless musical instruments. I do see things that most novice consumers don't. If you don't pay attention to the unbelievable $150 pricetag for the upraded P Bass, you will easily think you are playing a much more expensive instrument right out of the box. The upgrades include Wilkinson P pickups, a real bone nut and upgraded roundwound strings. Even with quality and incredible bang for your buck even in stock Glarry's instruments, the upgrade takes you to a whole other level of quality control and sound which rivals name brand Basses at 3 times the cost. 1st off, I want to note how accurate and clean the fretwork is. The electronics are real solid. Details such as jacks, strap lock buttons and tuning machine are tight and did not need tightening ay all. The string action is just the way I like it. If you like the action different, a few turns of the bridge saddle screws will make it your own. This takes 5 minutes. The split coil pickups soud great witb amps ranging from 15 watts to 500 watts. The Bass is as noiseless as they come.The bridge is not a high mass model, but it is solid and installed properly. The neck is perfectly straight. Let's face it, even if it wasn't, even a $5,000 custom shop Bass may need a truss adjustment after shipment. The neck is a bit on the thick side, but unless you are 10 years old, you will not even notice it during the most demanding licks. The construction and assembly of the Glarry's upgraded P Bass is pretty much the same as it is on all their instruments. "Really good." If you are looking for a Bass in general, I am not only saying a starter Bass, I bet you will not find the craftsmanship, playability or quality in instruments costing 3 times as much. And, I am a really hard customer to please.

Very satisfied. This is my 3rd GP II bass, and first of Precision sound. I have set up all three with different strings from each other, did set up of action, and overall dialed in the basses for different tonal sounds and playability. I had to repair one of the tuners which Glarry will gladly replace from past experience. Such a nice looking bass in Burlywood!

What a great guitar for the money. I made minor adjustments and did my own setup once I received the guitar, and it plays beautifully now. My biggest gripe is this guitar has neck dive. That's not really an issue for me especially at this price point. I'm very happy with how it plays and sounds.

"Being a bass blogger, I wanted to highlight this Glarry bass. The balance of sound and tone is very good. The intonation is working here and the bass is staying in tune." "I know that since my last review, my friends are interested in this bass. They want more of a travel bass where they are not too worried if damage were to happen on the plane etc" Bass Blog Brian

I got this as a Christmas present and it was a big hit. It's beautiful and shipping was really fast.

I bought bass about two years ago. I love everything about it. It has a really awesome slappy sound. It is my go to bass for my one band; and just finished tracking a new EP with it. Can't beat the quality, and comfort for the price. I just ordered another Glarry bass. I can't wait until it gets in.

This bass is great. I already had a G Jazz II so I knew what to expect. I put some Fender Flat Wounds on it and have played it most days since. The pick up is quite nice!

on September 03, 2022

BUY ONE!!!! That is all I am saying. You can always upgrade it but to get a bass of this quality at this price is amazing!

Very happy with my purchase.

No issues. Perfectly playable after a little adjustment at the bridge with the provided tools.

Just received my GP II Upgrade bass in sunset I'm very pleased with the bass right out of the box tuned it up nice low action classic growl of a P-bass. No blemishes that I have found so far. Great job Glarry on a affordable nice playing and sounding and good looking bass. Two thumbs up

Beautiful guitar. Frets smooth. Fret ends smooth with no sprout. Just took some 0000 grade steel wool to the back of the neck to give it a nice smooth matte finish.All upgrades worth every penny. Has good action. Lots of guitar for the money.

Been looking at a Glarry bass for some time now, and finally pulled the trigger. I got the Upgraded P-Bass, in Sunburst finish. I ordered it on Sunday and it showed up on my porch Wednesday! UPS FREE DELIVERY. I must say that I am impressed with the quality of this bass, and it's beautiful. Just had to tune it up out of the box, and plugged it into my bass amp. I sounds great, and by the way, it;s not too light or too heavy, it's just right I think. You might want to go out and buy a longer bet ...

I sounds great, and by the way, it;s not too light or too heavy, it's just right I think. You might want to go out and buy a longer better guitar strap for it. Other than that, the only thing I might do, is take some steel wool to the neck to smooth it out a little, and then some Teek oil to seal the wood. I live in Michigan and it gets very humid here in the summer. All and all for the price, I am very satisfied. Thank you Glarry!

Came set up perfectly . Low action with no fret buzz haven't plugged in yet but plays like a dream . I had to back the intonation off on the g string a quarter turn . Definitely worth the upgrade from 89 dollar p bass . Which I love as well .

Arrived in perfect condition setup was good just had to raise the E string 1/4-1/2 turn...was surprised how great it sounded I call it my Chinese P Bass.Great job Glarry.

Love the bass guitars I bought thank you for helping me make my dream come true the way I'm sure you've helped so many other people which are very affordable products just want to tell you we appreciate it we appreciate you so much

This is hands down the best P-bass under $200. I did have to glue the nut down and shield the cavity but that's pretty standard of any low end bass. The components are quality and the sound is huge.

on February 19, 2021

Plays as well as any so called professional bass. I would play on stage any time

on February 04, 2021

For the price it's a good student level practice bass. It needed neck and bridge adjustments. The nut needed replacement as it was loose in the pocket. I did smooth the finish on the neck. Restrung with ernie ball quality strings. Once intonation and tune was perfected without fret buzz it played well. It is holding tune after 10 hours of play. Delivered in 3 days. It is a bit better than I expected.

For $164 a great value. Fit and finish are good except that fret ends need filing. Beautiful maple finger board and sunset finish. Even though my other basses are short scale, this bass was comfortable to play even with short arms and fingers The tone is big and warm and a fully bass kind of tone. A fellow bassist tried my bass and gave it high marks as well. I appreciate that this bass comes as a complete kit with gig bag, strap, cord pick and adjustment tool. This bass is an excellent ...

This bass is an excellent complement to my other three short scale basses and will be a regular part of a four instrument playing rotation. Glarry hit a home run with this product

The order came in quickly and in good shape . The bass just needed the strings lowered to taste , and tuning done but was good enough to play out of the box . Looks and sounds Great ! Love the bsss .

Slight caveat in that I'd never even touched a bass before this one was delivered so this is from a very very beginner perspective-- I love the feel of the instrument, definitely heavier than I imagined but it's a comfortable amount of weight. The delivery was incredibly swift and arrived in excellent condition in a stiff cardboard box with the bass sandwiched between some heavy duty styrofoam. The shape is satisfying and so incredibly smooth, which I know is to be expected but still, it's very ...

Slight caveat in that I'd never even touched a bass before this one was delivered so this is from a very very beginner perspective-- I love the feel of the instrument, definitely heavier than I imagined but it's a comfortable amount of weight. The delivery was incredibly swift and arrived in excellent condition in a stiff cardboard box with the bass sandwiched between some heavy duty styrofoam. The shape is satisfying and so incredibly smooth, which I know is to be expected but still, it's very nice to the touch. As far as I can tell the action is right where I want it to be, although I did think it was a bit high at first and might lower it once I actually know what I'm talking about. Everything seems to be in order-- I'm sure more experienced musicians would have some adjustments to make, but it seems playable right out of the box which I'm grateful for. And it was so easy to tune, even for me. I've failed at every instrument I've tried to learn but this bass makes me hopeful that I can change that! Wish me luck
