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.

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.

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.
