All of these basses (I bought 3) play great and are excellent vehicules for upgrades. It took me 10 minutes to get used to the thicker neck. This was the problem for the Jazz Bass only.

on June 09, 2020

For the price it's a good instrument. Tuners are a little hard to turn, pickups not high output. Not a very resonant bass, strap button fell off I repaired that. Needs setup I'll buy better strings before I do that. Fretboard it dry frets are sharp at ends and not polished. Nut is plastic and sharp ends. Bridge is good. Neck is very heavy not balanced very well. Overall not terrible for $80 but needs work. Fortunately I have lots of experience in the luthier field.

Wonderful company answered my questions before purchasing and when I decided on the GJazz in burlywood it was shipped very fast and got here in great shape. This was my second Glarry and both are exceptional in playability and finish.

on June 04, 2020

I decided 2 weeks ago I wanted to learn how to play a new instrument. For $80, this was a great investment. I'm already having a blast jamming with my bass.

I ordered the 4 string jazz bass in Burlywood", and I am amazed at the quality of this instrument! Extremely pleased! Beautiful finish, smooth fret ends, staight neck, beautiful tone! Awesome!

Great bass for my son.Awesome quality and fast shipping.

I simply cannot overstate what a great value this is. Is it just for beginners? Shhhh, don't tell. I've been playing over 40 years. It is a treat for the eyes, ears and my sore neck. My Rickenbacker weighs a metric ton. It kills my neck. This bass is a lightweight heavy hitter. So I have a $2,000 bass sitting in a case while I rock out with my $80 Glarry. Be aware that the neck is the same as their P-Bass. A true Jazz bass is narrower at the nut. Don't let that stop you. The solid ma ...

Be aware that the neck is the same as their P-Bass. A true Jazz bass is narrower at the nut. Don't let that stop you. The solid maple neck feels fantastic. I've seen $130 Rogue basses with two-piece glued necks! Pure junk. Frets are well dressed with zero sprout. Arrived detuned as it should. Custom packaging ensured safe delivery. I ordered after hours on Friday before the holiday weekend and had it in hand by Wednesday! I made a few slight adjustments for string height and intonation as the bridge had obviously not been setup. Standard procedure for any new instrument, and easily accomplished with the included tools. If you are not familiar with setup, check out Dave's World Of Fun Stuff on YouTube. The toughest choice was color. It had to be either the dark blue or the burlywood (wife calls it girlywood LOL). The black trim killed the blue for me. Solid transparent blue would be killer. Hint, hint. I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend Glarry instruments to any and all musicians. It will rock you. Gotta jam...

As I expected! Very good for the price. Great starting point for anyone who wants to jump into bass. However, quality control could have been better. Some of the fret finishing are rough, so when I play for an extended time, I usually get some minor marks or scratches on the palm and fingers. More, some frets are not leveled with the surrounding frets, for example, my 13th frets are higher than the 12th, so when I play G on the 12th fret - G string, I ended up getting G#.

That happens at some points around the neck which is very annoying, I thought my fingering was wrong but then I realize I will never get it right because that note will never sound, until I sand and polish that 13th fret. Also, the output is kinda weak, but it's true for a sub $100 bass. Will have to work around the amp and effects to get a good sound. For $79, this is a great deal! Throw in some of your guitar tech skills if you have some tools lying around, then you can turn this one very very playable.

Good quality plays like a regular J Bass

I bought the Glarry Jazz bass hoping to be able to make it functional. What I got when the guitar arrived was a total surprise. The bass was beautiful. The control knobs worked smoothly and the pickups sounded great.The finish sparkled and shined and the set up was spot on except for a little intonation work. Took me all of five minutes and the Glarry Jazz bass played in tune and played like butter. I found only one flaw in the whole guitar, the head end of the fret board was not cut straight b ...

Took me all of five minutes and the Glarry Jazz bass played in tune and played like butter. I found only one flaw in the whole guitar, the head end of the fret board was not cut straight but that does not affect play-ability and it was so minor that I did not see it until I had the guitar for a couple of weeks. For the price it was like WOW! I can't wait to see what I get next time from Glarry Music. I'm thinking to buy the Glarry GT602 41 inch Dreadnought Spruce Front Cutaway Zebrano Back Folk Acoustic Guitar Natural. (Or maybe they will send one to me for review??) When I do get one I will do a review.

product came very fast and well wrapped, it ready to and finished was beautiful and great sounding instrument for the price.

This all started with the purchase of a Glarry P Bass, Just wanted to see what you get for such a cheap price, outta the box played well and had nice sound...hums at high volume, but iI sanded the neck and fret ends, and put on a set of Fender Studio bass roundwounds , and this thing PLAYS and Sounds AWESOME!! Had friends play it who own Name brand P basses and they loved it. After that I bought a Strat Model 6 string, Gorgeous Natural wood finish, looks and plays like a guitar 5x it's value ! ...

Now I just recieved the Glarry J Bass and No Lie, this is gonna be My Geddy lee tribute Bass...needs very little, but with a Badass bridge and maybe some 80's pups this is Gonna Be a Daily player ! Thank You Glarry! I now own six of your wonderful instruments and look forward to getting more.

The Bass was really nice when it arrived a little adjustments and it was good as gold really nice bass for the price it plays just as nice as my squire j bass and it sounds just as good as well

on May 21, 2020

sounds great a little adjustment ,and a hell of a bass for the money.

I'm a 40-year veteran bassist and I'm extremely happy with my glarry precision bass and Jazz Bass. I cannot believe the sound and quality I received at such a small price. I will be using these bases in live performances as well as some recordings along with my music man and Fender basses. I also purchased a Telecaster for my son and he's extremely happy with it. I'm looking forward to receiving a fretless bass and a 5-string bass from you all. Thanks again for all you do for us.

on May 20, 2020

My new j-bass arrived promptly and in great condition. After a minor setup procedure and a bit of polishing, it was time to play. I was immediately impressed with the tonal variations produced through my amp with slight adjustments with the tone and volume controls. I also really like the feeling and playability of the neck. Overall, a nice instrument at a very competitive price. Thanks Glarry Music!

I recently purchased this bass. When it came in, the pickups were damaged, but customer service gave me no problems. They sent me a replacement. The replacement came in, and I am hard pressed to find anything wrong with it. I adjusted the action and tuned it up, and I was playing the bass. It sounds great and feels great. The neck is straight and isn't as fat as the Glarry Precision Bass (which I also have). No dead frets. No grounding issues. You do have to remove the strings and the pick gua ...

The neck is straight and isn't as fat as the Glarry Precision Bass (which I also have). No dead frets. No grounding issues. You do have to remove the strings and the pick guard, in order to remove the plastic covering the pick guard, but you have to do that at some point anyway to use steel wool to buff the frets, and also wipe down the fret board, but otherwise this product was ready to play out of the box with very little setup required.

The pickups in the bass did not work, I've tried soldering them again but I still get no sound from them

As a guitar player that never own a bass who just picked it up a few times at parties, I'd always wanted a bass to experiment with. I've had so much fun with the Glarry Jazz Bass so far. Both stays in tune, looks cool, action seemed fine to me right out of the box. As much as I'd wanted a bass and another instrument to play, never could justify spending 3 or 4 hundred bucks on a instrument that wasn't my main instrument, so for this price I've already had more that $100 worth of fun since I g ...

Furthermore, this is more for guitar players than specific to this bass....I think it improves your playing. It makes you stretch the fretboard because those easier to reach notes on the extra strings on the guitar are not there. But you'll be able to apply that to your playing. And any guitar player knows your tone can influence and inspire your playing---and the bass notes playing bass do just that. They make you want to get funky. And it also improves your rhythm, in some ways you are another percussion instrument, but able to play distinct notes. One more note on the quality of the instrument... I think its so well built I plan to order one of the glarry Tele style guitars in the very near future.

Amazing bass for the money- I have Tobias growler and 2 jazz basses and this $79 bass surprised me I must say... After playing for 20 years I must say ... thank you.

on April 29, 2020

Is it the nicest bass I've ever owned? Nope...but is it a great bass for less than $100? Absolutely! Great value for the price and perfect for my girlfriend and daughter to plunk around on and learn!

I bought the Jazz Bass in White. Body has scratches by the bridge where the strings load in. Fit and finish are good, neck joint is tight and clean. Neck is not a Jazz Bass profile, it's kind of in between the Jazz and Precision feel, slightly chunky, but very playable. Hardware does what it is supposed to, tuning keys are ok, probably the weak point of the whole bass. Electronics all function as they should, no grounding hum or buzz. Pick ups sound like Jazz Bass pickups should. I would like to ...

Hardware does what it is supposed to, tuning keys are ok, probably the weak point of the whole bass. Electronics all function as they should, no grounding hum or buzz. Pick ups sound like Jazz Bass pickups should. I would like to see Glarry make Basses with Maple fretboards since I prefer them myself. Over all balance of this Bass is good, it's not neck heavy at all. I use a padded shoulder strap and it keeps the Bass right where I like it. I would say this Bass plays better than a Squier Affinity Series, but not better than The Classic Vibe or Vintage Modified. Is it worth $80?...…….Yes, I would say it is! I'm going to use it as my Church Band Bass, I'm more comfortable taking the Glarry Jazz Bass instead of my $700 Fender Mustang. Good job Glarry, this instrument exceeded my expectations.

my go too bass company

on April 16, 2020

Love your product. ..please make bound neck,with block inlays. For both basses P and J bass..love the quality of the bass..

on April 15, 2020

Wow , shipping was quick. I didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised ! The instrument was pretty flawless. I had to do a bit of set up. Action was a too high and two strings needed the intonation adjusted. After that It was a darn decent bass. Pick ups don't have a switch but that's no big deal. Dial in what you like and go. Definitely a bargain .

on April 08, 2020

Just got the j bass in the sunset finish . 3 guitars and 2 basses later and I've yet to be disappointed ! I've been playing 45+ years and you couldn't get anything this inexpensive for the quality back in the day ! Rock on Glarry !

on April 08, 2020

Cant believe the quality in this bass. Ive been a bassist for about 20 years and this plays right up there with any jazz bass ive played. Great job making a quailty instrument

on April 05, 2020

My bass came quickly. It was adequately packaged and arrived unscathed. After unpacking I immediately saw that it was very nice looking. I tuned it up and it sounds quite good. It plays well. This is a very good buy and a good value. I expected to get a bass that was functional and okay for a beginner. I found it to be that and much more.

Pretty ridiculous value & quality with this product! I only wished I could have had more than only two color choices when I order last month Out the box, it was clean, no dings ripples or chips. just needs to be set up like any other bass before your get the "best" tone from the instrument, the GJazz Bass is ridiculous quality craftmanship & was very easy to "set up" straight out the box. All it took was adjusting the action because the rest was perfect! Wait dont tell just one friend - Tell T ...
