I have played guitar since 1965 and also bass for much of that time. I wanted a cheap knock-around bass I could take to camps and other outdoor events and said "$63.95, what the heck!" I was very pleasantly surprised. I ordered the bass late on October 29, and it is not Prime, so shipping was listed as free, but not 2 days. I was told I'd receive it "between Nov. 5 and Nov. 12." I actually received it November 1! Wow. Great shipping. The bass came packed in a cardboard box with styrofoam reinforcements and arrived in perfect shape. It came with a cheap cable and the Allen wrenches needed for truss rod and and saddle adjustments. The body is a very pretty off-white and the paint is perfect. The bass's body is basswood, and feels a bit light but sustain is good and I'll probably be thankful for the lightness. It does make it a bit neck-heavy though. The bolt-on neck could have used an additional buffing for smoothness, but is certainly no problem to play. Hey, it was less than $65.00. The rosewood fretboard is nice (a little lemon oil brings out the grain) and the frets are smooth with no sharp edges. Nowhere on the outside of the bass is there a serial number or even a country of origin, and there is no brand at all on the Fender-copy head, which I prefer to some hokey off-brand label. I will probably stain the head to give it some color. The tuning machines look substantial and work smoothly. We will see how they last. The pickguard was protected with plastic film which was a pain to remove around the pots. The pots themselves are smooth to operate, with great gradual change of volume and tone and work quietly (we will see how they last) and the knobs look good but feel a bit light, with less "meat" than a real Fender. Setup was OK. I'll need to do a little work with the truss rod and saddles to get it perfect, but it's certainly useable right out of the box. Plugged it in and started to play. The volume is slightly lower than my Washburn at any given amp setting, and the fact that there is only one set of pickups means it's less versatile. That being said, the tone is great. Even set on treble so there is more slap and picking sound, the bottom end is good and strong. It will cut through a mix just fine and, hey, $63.95. Make no mistake. This is absolutely a beginner's bass. That being said, it is a very good one, and one I'd not feel bad about taking as an emergency fall-back bass on a gig, or to a place where damage was possible. Highly recommend.

Bargain Price, but Nice Bass!

As someone who has picked up acoustic and electric 6 string guitars over the years, always convinced that I'll somehow channel Stevie Ray Vaughan, only to find that I lose interest once I determine (again) that there's real work involved, I thought I'd give a bass a shot. I have zero confidence that I'll stick with it, but don't want to go to my grave not having tried playing one. So, I set out to get the cheapest, but hopefully playable, bass I could find here on Amazon. It looks like this same guitar wears a few different headstock names, but this one caught my eye because it has no name on the headstock. It arrived shipped in just one box (not a box in a box), but still I got it in great shape. The pros: cosmetically, this thing is absolutely perfect (I chose the red color). No kidding. I can't find paint issues, splinters, dings, scratches, or any faults anywhere on it. There's no fret sprout/sharp edges, the tuners don't slip (I did lube them first as a precaution), the pots feel good, the electronics work fine, and the only thing I encountered was the E string buzzing a bit. I adjusted the height using the saddle adjustment screws, let it sit, tuned it, let it sit, and it's now just fine. Cons: Absolutely none. Comes with a cable, truss rod wrench and is shipped free for about $65, so I feel either very fortunate, or whoever is making these actually cares about a guitar they're making for very few bucks. Either way, my experience was a good one.

For the price it's great

You really can't go wrong at this price. Mine came with a flawless finish, no fret sprout and the setup was playable right out of the box. Your mileage may vary. It is neck heavy because of the lightweight body. A wide leather strap would help combat that as would some lightweight tuners. This is basically one of those kits you see here and on eBay but they've already put it together for you. Take it apart and learn how these things work. Change the strings if you want. Get some hotter pickups and solder them in if you want. It's not rocket science. Great for a beginner or a mod platform. Watch a couple of YouTube videos and it's easy to set it up yourself to the action you like. I decided to go with a short scale bass so I did pass this on. Kind of wish I kept it, though. I might buy another. At this price you've got nothing to lose. With the money you save you can pay for a couple of lessons to get you started on the right track.

Great product for the price an absolute bargain

I’m VERY impressed with this bass guitar! For less than $70 shipped, I don’t mind that it’s got a loose screw or has a really high action. It plays Better than you would expect, however the power output isn’t as much compared to A $500 bass I use An upgraded bridge and pickup , some new strings perhaps , and it will be on par with the $500 bass. The body IS light making it top heavy but I kind of like the lightweight . I’m so happy!!! P bass pickups weren’t screwed in right but a quick adjustment and it’s good ; definitely using the adjustment tools that came with the cable. the sound is very open , the power needs some boosting :) great product

it's cheap! but playable.

First of all you're not even paying $100 for this guitar. So unless it comes broken it's probably going to be worth it! Having said that mine came and it wasn't broken yeah there was a little bit of a ding on the back side of the neck and the craftsmanship isn't well it's not a Gibson. And it's not a $2,500 Music Man. But it's not $2,500!! I paid 80.00. But is a real nice copy of a fender p and it's highly playable and has a great sound before you upgrade it and you wouldn't even have to I bought it for my wife to learn how to play bass on because she's been watching me play for 40 years and just wanted one of her own so I bought her one and I'm impressed good enough for her to learn on . heck, I'd even use it in a show. I really like it it sounds great and for the price you cannot go wrong unless they send you a bad one and I've read some of the reviews so maybe it's a flip of the coin but take a chance could always send it back!

Every bit as good as I'd hoped, and better than I expected

Short version: Excellent bass for a beginner, or a good knock-around for a pro. I'm a novice, so if you're looking for a review from someone who isn't a guitar snob, or has tons of experience to compare to, I hope this helps. I do have a nice Washburn bass to use for comparison, but I have no experience setting up a new bass or guitar. This Glarry was purchased for my kids to learn on so they aren't knocking mine around. It arrived packaged in a sturdy box, held securely with styrofoam and bundled in foam wrap. It actually took some effort to free it from everything. It came with 3 picks, setup tools, a flimsy strap, a small gauge amp cord, and a gig bag that's really more of a dust cover (I wouldn't trust it to carry the bass around). No surprises though! It's a starter kit, and everything is functional and easily upgraded when you need something more. On first inspection it's a little unfinished. The neck is unvarnished and feels rough to the touch. It would benefit from some fine grit sandpaper to smooth it down. The fretboard could use some oil. The frets themselves are beveled and not sharp. Tuning pegs are stamped steel, smooth chrome, and sturdy. The machine heads turn easily, but could probably use some white grease. The body is glossy and smooth, with a nice color gradient (I ordered the dark blue). None of it is flawless, but everything is fully functional and very attractive. I'd never set up a new guitar before so I looked up a tutorial online. The neck was already straight and didn't need a truss-rod adjustment; a piece of stock paper fit under the strings when I held down the 1st and 12th frets. I raised the action on each string, and then tuned them with a clip on tuner. I adjusted the intonation and got it perfect on every string. Over all it took me about 15 minutes; including following the guide and double checking my work. Finally: how does it play? Great! It's lighter than my Washburn, which is good for my kids. It's well balanced, so if you're not supporting it, it lays horizontal on the strap without diving toward the floor. There's no fret buzz, aside from what I make with my unskilled fingers. The sound is rich, clear, and undistorted through the amp. The volume and gain knobs work well and without crackle. There is a bit of buzz at higher volumes with the included cord, but when I use a fully shielded cord it clears up. The strings are cheap, but adequate, at least to get started. A new set of quality strings will only make it better. If you're a beginner or buying a bass for a kid, and don't want to make a big investment, I highly recommend this Glarry bass. Not only is it a good starter instrument, it's good enough that you won't necessarily have to buy something more expensive when you get better. A little spit and elbow grease and it'll pass for something that cost 3x as much.

I'm talking jazz man

Received the guitar in ideal visual condition. Tuned it and it was playable with a pleasing wide range of sound. Then... I replaced the nut to lower the strings, cranked the neck way back, adjusted the saddle heights and set the intonation. Wow! The results were vantastic!

A great start!

I have a broad background in music, including acoustic guitar and banjo, but have never tried bass or electric guitars. This bass guitar is plenty of instrument for an adult beginner, especially with Fender Play online lessons. I bought a 10w amp separately, but it's not really necessary to have an amp to learn the fundamentals. The weight of this instrument is surprising, but I think it's typical of electric guitars in general, compared to acoustics. Overall, I love it and feel I made a good choice. Very nice for the price!

Remarkable Bass for $75!

This is a nice instrument. For $75 it's remarkable! $75! The fit and finish is quite good. The fret ends are smoother than many name-brand guitars costing several times as much. The body is light in weight which makes the base a bit neck-heavy. But, hey. $75! The tuners are fine. This would be a very good choice for a beginner. Or for a guitarist who wants a bass for his collection (like me). It's really hard to see how Glarry (?) can sell this bass for $75. Delivered! Did I mention that it is only $75?
