I liked the affordable price and the look of the blue sunburst jazz bass. My plan was to completely modify it which I did. I sanded and stained the neck a darker color, applied several coats of polyurethane and a final coat of paste wax. The electronics were upgraded to alpha pots, braided wires and alnico5 pickups, a new wilkinson brass saddle bridge, black machine tuners, bone nut, black jazz bass volume/tone knobs, flat wound strings and a tortoise shell pickguard.

The electronics were upgraded to alpha pots, braided wires and alnico5 pickups, a new wilkinson brass saddle bridge, black machine tuners, bone nut, black jazz bass volume/tone knobs, flat wound strings and a tortoise shell pickguard. While this instrument is completely fine for a beginner, I am more of a seasoned player and was up to the challenge of a fun project. Could I suggest maybe selling only bare body and neck without parts at a lower price which people could build their own instrument to their personal taste? Also, the internet is a wonderful place for information if someone knows where to look, but a beginner might not understand how or even if they need to adjust their truss rod or bridge saddles. Perhaps an included instruction booklet might also be useful as these instruments are catering towards beginners. I also modified a Glarry white P bass in a similar way but less extensive as the jazz. I had a lot of fun with these projects.

This a good bass guitar and a really great value. You just need to be ready for the little problems that you may find. The cavities are not shielded and the guitar does pickup noise. The neck pickup was stuck in the guard and had to be pulled a bit to come up to height. After a little setup and tinkering, it plays well and is fun. Just be aware that it needs a bit of TLC.

My Glarry GJazz! "Big Enos" I bought it with the intent to covert it to fret less. I also upgraded the pickups to Guitar Fetish 10k Alnico's. Also the electronics and the bridge. I finished it off with some D'Addario flat wound strings and black screws in the pick guard for added flair. Lol! This bass was great right out of the box I only made it "mine" with the changes. This is my fourth Glarry guitar! I also have a white Glarry violin "Little Enos"! Highly recommended! Great platform for tin ...

Considering the price, I have no choice but to give this 5 stars. Straight out of the box, a few adjustments are needed, but for a beginner, this is perfectly usable. For fun, I ended up completely modding mine, but after a proper setup it would have been totally fine as is. The neck is a bit chunky and some might have issues with that, but I liked it. The tuners are nice, and the bridge is surprising decent. I did eventually change the stings, pickups, and all the the control board. But, as sta ...

I just wanted to tinker. I'll probably look at buying the upgraded P bass at some point. Pics are of the original, then after upgrades (including a new finish).

Came in and was as expected. No problems at all. Packaged well too. Glarry does it again!

on March 09, 2021

I bought this for a project but it plays well enough that I left it as is. Set up was close to perfect. Best $90 ever spent.

on March 07, 2021

For a starter instrument you cannot beat this value for under $100. Guitar was also packaged & shipped well, with no observable damage upon arrival.

I was looking for an inexpensive axe to use as a project bass, and found Glarry after seeing quite a few positive YouTube reviews. While it's a little rough (literally) around the edges, this bass is definitely a good value for the money. The good: the body is light, the neck is straight, electronics work as they should, and the frets are dressed better than guitars I've paid ten times the price for. The not so good: the body may be a bit too light as there's some neck dive, the control plate ...

The good: the body is light, the neck is straight, electronics work as they should, and the frets are dressed better than guitars I've paid ten times the price for. The not so good: the body may be a bit too light as there's some neck dive, the control plate has some scuffs and scratches, the paint on the back of the top horn has some bubbling, the finish on the back of the neck near the body is a bit rough and needs sanding, and the fretboard was extremely dry out of the box. Even with these deficiencies, this is an excellent value for the price I paid.

Very Nice. Nothing to complain about for the price. Looking foward to purchasing more items from Glarry.

on February 24, 2021

Amazing bass! I'm a beginner but I'm extraordinarily surprised at the quality for the cost. I was expecting the wood to feel cheap and the strings to be unbearable, but it really punches above its weight. If your a beginner looking for a cheap good bass, this is it.

4 because of the price, playability, the look is so great! First bass, also impulsively play unplugged. Took some free fender lessons over last summer. Anyway, there was a loose wire unsoldered to one of the pots. Bought a cheap solder gun and got reimbursed for it ( thankfully, thanks Glarry! ). But it still shorts out at times if I'm sitting and leaning downward. Hey I used to be a pretty darn good solderer at a camera shop. Maybe I would get a 200-300 dollar bass next to play out with.

But it still shorts out at times if I'm sitting and leaning downward. Hey I used to be a pretty darn good solderer at a camera shop. Maybe I would get a 200-300 dollar bass next to play out with. But this is definitely a great starter for 88 bucks and there are countless instructionals on YouTube.

Bass plays very well Excellent starter bass for my students who are just learning to play

on February 21, 2021

Awesome. Plays great right out of box. Definitely going to upgrade some of the hardware, replace the strings, condition the neck and adjust the action a little, but for the price you cant beat it. Such a great bass. Wont be my last from yall.

on February 20, 2021

Hi I just would like to say that how happy I am with glarrys...my new bass got delivered after only 48hours and how great the quality of my first ever guitar..... Thanks again...great price...great delivery service..... Next stop Wembley stadium lol....cheers glarrys 10 out of 10

Shockingly good value. I have two other more expensive bases, but this has become my favorite in many ways. Changed the strings to a set of nyxl roundwounds. Needed to do a full setup including neck, bridge and filing fret sprouts, but well worth it. Sounds great and plays well. Had a 1963 Fender Jazz Bass many years ago. The Glarry sounds about the same, but with beefier neck, similar to an older Fender Precision neck. Well worth the money.

Package was delivered just a couple of days after ordering. Excellent service. After unpacking the bass and tuning it up, I found the strings to be very fuzzy. If you're new to the bass, this is completely normal and needs the truss rod adjusting, and adjustment at the bridge where the strings sit. If you're unsure, visit a couple of YouTube pages, they explain in detail. Once the bass was set up, it played lovely. I didn't think I would get used to it so quick but the connection was immediate. ...

Love this Bass!! And the communication between myself and their representatives were fantastic, I ordered one Bass and decided I wanted another model and they had no problem taking care of my request. Definitely will recommend to all my friends!!

on February 10, 2021

I'm gonna give my full honesty. Ive had it one week and played with it a few times. I was skeptical at 1st but said "hey i need a cheap bass just to play with from time to time" (my focus in the last fee months has been guitar). I had a 5 string I got rid of to reinvest into guitar. Now for $89 this plays well. Only issue is a wierd ring on the G string when played open but I'm gonna do some adjusting. The pickups work great. The knobs great. From time to time i may play for a church or just to ...

Now for $89 this plays well. Only issue is a wierd ring on the G string when played open but I'm gonna do some adjusting. The pickups work great. The knobs great. From time to time i may play for a church or just to jam with a couple friend but aside from the G string issue I give it a 4 out of 5. Id recommend for beginners, those who do there own recording on a budget that multi instrumentalist and even a small church looking to provide intruments thats in a growing stage with their worship team. Ive played bass in church off and on over the last 15 years.

While my IBANEZ is being fixed (anything with batteries in is bound to go wrong, right ?) I bought this as a cheap fill in for some home recording, not expecting much. A little light in weight and the fat neck (which Fenders have, don't they ?) took a little getting used to compared to the IBANEZ but the performance is far better than I expected and, although the strings are new, that crisp sound, same volume on every string, wow ! I can't play slap but I could almost learn with this beauty

on February 04, 2021

Cant fault it or the service. Only 2 or 3 days from ordering to delivery. I don't know how they make them for the price and free delivery. I'm a guitarist who knows a bit about guitar quality and wanted a cheap bass for home recording. The bass is very good for my purposes, no sharp fret ends, straight neck, good action and intonation. Looks good too. Well done.

on February 02, 2021

Came in unplayable, with no sound whatsoever! Had to take apart the entire bass to replace parts and re-solder the electronics just to get a sound out of it, DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE NEW TO FIXING BASS GUITARS!

on February 02, 2021

The bridge and the nut weren't measured correctly causing the strings to off on the neck. It also came chipped at the input. Even with these issues and the price, I repaired it and it plays fine.

on January 28, 2021

Bass arrived on time 1 week after ordering. Safely packaged with no damage. Looks and sounds amazing. The fret bars are tearing up my fingers because they are so high and need to be filed down and sanded I guess. I've never had this problem but this is also my first bass under $700

Not a bad instrument to start the bass hobby. It plays decent. This one came on time before Christmas. I noticed a few bad things: 1. Some of the screws came loose and not screwed in all the way 2. The cord that comes with it broke after a few sessions, it made static noises and very irritating. 3. The strap can easily be undone accidentally, it can be hazardous to you or anything that this bass guitar can fall on. 4. Customer service not good. They haven't replied to me yet, I reported the ...

I'm blown away with thw quality for under a hundred dollars..AND you get a bag, cord, strap, and pick...pretty dang cool

Just received my GJazz bass via FedEx which came sooner than originally estimated. I can't be more impressed with the guitar especially for the price! The action was rather high, but I easily lowered it. I'll adjust the truss rod in a few weeks once it acclimates which should bring it down to typical action height. Two of the pickup screws weren't all the way seated which was an easy fix. The neck appears to be unfinished and a tad rough for my taste . . . 600 grit sanding did the trick. N ...

Two of the pickup screws weren't all the way seated which was an easy fix. The neck appears to be unfinished and a tad rough for my taste . . . 600 grit sanding did the trick. No sharp edges on the frets which was a pleasant surprise. So far no issues with it staying in tune. I'm happy with the sound and have no desire to change the pickups . . . I'm using it to record so I can adjust the sound through software if ever needed. The finish is impressive . . . looking close I can see slight remnants of sanding scratches under the clear and an area with what looks like sagging finish that was buffed out. But it's remarkable for an $85 guitar! I'm tempted to buy a few guitars now . . . can't go wrong!

To be honest I didn't have crazy high expectations, and the actual sound of the bass is better than what I had expected for the price. I'm giving this a 1 star review because out of the box the fret ends are so sharp on both sides of the neck that's it's like a cheese grater for your hands. I'm going to have to get the proper tools and fix it myself or pay someone to do it which will probably cost more than the bass itself. Was looking forward to receiving it all week, and now i'm stuck with eit ...

Just got my Glarry jazz bass and have to say wow. This bass is worth the price even at twice the cost. Had to lower action and peal the film of the guard and then play. Great feel and tone. Well worth it and will be getting a P bass in the next few weeks.

Blue jazz bass. Delivered in 8 days.Guitar almost perfect,Blueburst very dark, uneven color. Plays great lowered action and set intonation. Steel wool to smooth neck. Oiled fretboard. Good to go, Worth $80.
