The perk of getting good on bass or guitar is that the better you get, the cheaper your gear can get and still sound good.

I think differently, if you get a shitty amp then it's not gonna sound good. But if you get a good amp and a shot squire or something it sound wayyyy better. I have a stadium base but I also have a $1, 500 base amp

agung andy Just upgrade the hardware, pickups, pots, and tuners. Did that with a squier affinity bass (but I picked the nicest of the bunch I could find) and It sounds amazing, the frets are sharp at one spot but Im too lazy to fix em and haven’t had an injury yet. But if you want an upgrade, go for a squier affinity ($100) or even better a Vintage Modified bass ($300+ish) Amazing and on par with made in mexico fenders (which is better bang for buck than made in american basses imo)

655 sigu Well yeah, those have been the cheap garbo basses for years that beginners got. For modding platforms you can do some good with it, vintage modified though is a better upgrade, then maybe a used made in mexico with different pickups (because they are only slightly better, so you’re better off changing em out for real fender ones or seymour duncans)

After watching this I got their J-bass. Loved it so much I went back and got their fretless P-bass and another J-bass. Don't have much use for a fretless P-bass, so I swapped their necks. (Yes, they *are* interchangeable. Took about 10 minutes.) Now I have a J-bass, fretless J-bass, and P-bass for less then I would have spent for one used MIM Fender model. I set them up and they sound great. The fretless just sings. Thanks for the vid!

Great review! I’m glad I came across this!

Thanks for this video, I was in doubt to buy it and u gave me the final resolution!

Fantastic review thanks! With that luscious sunburst, I'm all over the gold hardware!

Your style and delivery is AWESOME!

I just bought one of these, I haven't touched a bass since high school, I'm so excited thank you for the real review and the great attitude

Great review man! Like the humor lol. I just got my Glarry yesterday and preparing to do some mods to it. Pickups are humming like mad so starting with a better ground. Keep rockin.

Im so happy i found this video im all about it. Ill be ordering this bass to play around with it for sure

I might have to grab this for a backup or practice bass

Just found you. (Yessss!) Looking around for a new bass as my P-Bass with a Tele Bass neck was stolen in 2019.

Thanks for your review of the glarry jazz bass! I have just received my order from glarry... I have the same bass color and the bass is comparable to my squire pj bass at a much lower price! Your review is spot on!!! I will remain as a fan!!! BTW Raider fan for life!!!

Black hardware Aguilar 4J-HC pickups Keep it passive but add 60's style concentric pots.

Black bridge, black knobs and harness plate with gold engraved scrollwork, black hipshot tuners with a drop-D tuner on the E. Subdued tortoise-shell scratch plate. Whatever makes the paint pop. John East active-passive harness, Bartolini J pickups.

great video sir, isn't that single coil pickup noisy, like humming buzzing ? Thanks

I’m taken lessons and can’t wait for more excitement in the future.

Awesome playing, subbed

So......I bought 2 of these 1 pbass and 1jazz....the jazz i did nothing to and it sounds amazing!!!!! The pbass however I completely remodded. I took a squire neck and added the brass inserts to it and thru it on there added the hipshot tuners and a hipshot kickass bridge and then dropped some EMG GZR pups in it and it sounds EFN amazing!!! these guitars are actually really bad azz to play and mod. I highly recommend them for beginners to learn and pros to mod. Great basses. Only cons I noticed on mine was lots of fret sprouts and neck dive due to wood i'm sure.

I just bought a Glarry P style bass new off of eBay last week. Natural finish. I paid $62.49 total. Its quite a nice instrument for the price. Made from basswood and the cheapest hardware and electrics for sure. But I was 100% pleased with it. Neck was straight, no fret buzz. It has a high tone to it as you would expect but I just roll back the tone control and hit that one and away I go! Thanks for the extremely helpful vids Bully!

Looks like these guys are filling the void where SX left off. Nice review Bully, much appreciated!

Hello thank you for the video what did you use for pick UP and pre amp

Man, I LOVE finding cheap gems. Computer-based manufacturing has possible what would have been impossible even a few decades ago. Virtually every cheap Affinity, Glarry, etc instrument nowadays is perfectly playable and sounds terrific.

Guys I have a presision Squier bass and compared the sound to the Glarry and the sound from the Glarry was clearer I just couldn't believe it, thanks Allen for the video.

Great review , amazing bass for the price , i think the wider neck gives a bit more depth to it , better mids . With the sunburst i'd go with gold hard ware . Keep em coming .

GOLD please also just subscribed just of your charisma my friend

Gold hardware and tortoise shell pickguard. Aguilar preamp with stacked control pots. Hard to believe this stuff is so cheap. I been eyeballing the Ibanez Mikro 5 strings. I'm liking the small scale instruments because I don't have a lot of room where I live.

Whatever floats your boat my friend!! I'm a practice man myself so hey good job!!

Thanks for sharing Bro✌

I’m definitely going to have to buy a bass like this just because I play bass a lot out at different church functions and church’s all around my area and you know a musician can’t just have one of what they play they gotta have more. Definitely appreciate you doing a video on this man.

i bought this same bass because i liked the sound of it thanks for reviewing it man i subbed.

Thank you! I assumed for that kind of price (+ free shipping!?) either the neck would be a baseball bat, or the wiring would be junk. Looks solid, and sounds pretty great... of course the player has a lot to do with the sound. Thank you for the great presentation sir!

cool vibe and breakdown

I bought a Glarry Jazz bass about a year ago and did everything to it and really the only original part is the body now. I was given an unpainted Jazz body that had a few dents in it and decided to use all the removed Glarry parts on it, even the Glarry strings. The surprising part, it's just a fun bass to play and I'm actually enjoying playing it. Now I tell people to get one and just do a proper setup, don't worry about upgrades. I can also have a direct comparison to my modifications versus original, the modified bass does get played more and I would do it again. That being said, you can get a lot of enjoyment from the stock Glarry.

Rockin' the Silver and Black!

I no longer play bass, but tried a 2019 Ibanez guitar delivered new for $100. I'm impressed...plays better than my 1979 Martin E-18 electric......you know your way around a bass!!

Awesome deal on those basses!!! Props on the Raiders wear!!! Raidernation!!! Those basses have great tone too!!! Great video!!!😎👍🎸

Just ordered one for my daughter. Cool review👍

It reminds me of the ammoon I use.. pretty well made but changing the strap buttons and nut is a must on these.. strap buttons came out real quick.. the pilot holes were over drilled and the nut was a flimsy piece of plastic but that's what you deal with on these sorts of instruments. I'm probably gonna sand the neck down when I get time but what you get for the price is pretty amazing.

Black - Looks like my Fender American Elite. I replaced my white pickguard with a black one and gorgeous.

Great review, thanks! Gold hardware every time, baby!

What is that mini 4x? cube shaped bass combo on your left?

About to snag one of the transparent yellow models. I have two PJ basses that I absolutely love but man there is a sound from the Jass bass that I'm looking for. For that price man that's a straight steal!

I prefer black hardver. Cheers mate, great video!

Surprisingly, this bass appears to have no “glarryng“ flaws! I wouldn't go with gold or black hardware at all.

I think the black would aesthetically look better, I don't know if the gold would look as good with the sunburst. But that's just me man, can't wait to see the finished version.

To let everyone know. I installed a Tusq pq1204 preslotted nut on my Glarry jazz bass. Fit perfectly and was a major improvement over the stock plastic one it came with.

Nice sounding jazz bass. Go gold hardware. I might be getting one.

The Sire M2 has a composite body, meaning not actual wood and I suspect that the case with this Bass. So if the neck is actual wood then the guitar will never balance, but this sounds really good. As you put it a Jordans costs more than the guitar

Its also more like an Ibanez GIO body and neck style, no pickguard/scratchplate, and there is no neck dive with that model when its on a strap.

im gonna warn you i had a similar p-bass for $80 and after almost a year of playing the screws were slipping out the wood and it was too soft to actually tighten, i assume the body is so light because its a cheaper wood an thats where they saved money

Not only is it a solid bass for a rock bottom price, but it's a great platform for upgrades. Put a great bridge (Badass, Omega, Hipshot, etc) on it and replace those pickups with Duncan Quarter Pounds and it becomes a beast.
