Glarry GMB102 Acoustic/Electric Bass unboxing and review!
I took the chance on another acoustic bass bought on Amazon, this time from Glarry. Glarry has been making a name for itself in the affordable instrument market, so I decided to try one that I found a great deal on.

They got me. I love bass but my bedroom rig is a half stack with an all tube head and a solid-state head on top of it. I hate having to dick around with my amp when I want to play bass through my guitar rig, but an acoustic bass oh man…I only have about 40+ guitars and basses of every design under the sun including a 10-string bass….but no acoustic! lol
It's too good of a deal not to get one.
Definitely the voice mic on your shirt is a quality mic it pick up the bass lows mid and highs just fine.and the Glarry is just fine too.
Name the tune, comfortably Numb..
What I've done to such accoustic basses, is buy a set of flatwound strings, which is not exactly cheap. But the bass will sound very different and I like the feel of flatwounds.
And often it is a very good idea to carefully remove the frets and glue in strips of hard wood. When you finish that nicely, which is a big deal, you get yourself a nice and still cheap fretless bass.
And for those cheap basses, buy a new nut and that plastic thing in the bridge, is it called saddle? If you are not afraid of wood glue and clamps, get yourself a great bridge. Making things yourself out of copper or brass is always an option. Ever experimented with nut and bridge material? Metal looks great. Antlers are great. Bone is very good. Most of all, it is fun, trying things. You can always buy plastic, why not?
And last thing to think about. When I buy such a thing secondhand, I always remove that preamp. It has weight in a spot where I want no weight. Such preamp guitars feel like they want to escape. They want to flip from your lap. I do not like preamps. Extra problem is the cheap ones all have that cable buzzing somewhere. Try finding the culprit. Piezo pickups can be great, finding sweet spots for two piezo's under the top is amazing. Where you glue it does make a huge difference. If you find a warm sound spot and the other one closer to the bridge, then you can mix three piezo's. Bridge and two glued to the top. Three pots, that's all. Dump that preamp, or install a better one. But who am I?
First thing i do is set it up how i like it. Check for straight, feel fret ends and tweek, check saddle hight and tweek, check frets by feelometer, using a fine wet and dry sandpaper knock the gloss off of back of thè neck until you have a dry satin feel. Lightly oil and check for feel repeat until you like it. It is well worth while learning how to do a setup cos you end up with a custom feel on your guitar like the pros.
Cool vìdeo
As a beginner, please explain how an EQ controller doubles as a tuner. Thanks.
How can we sleep while our beds are burning? Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone. You are only coming through in waves.
Sounds like a great deal! Hey if it’s playable, sounds ok, and has decent intonation you can’t beat it for the price.
Great to see you back with a new video Genome. Nice bass!
phoar! 58/88bucks! that's quite a bargain! ..that abbey road shot (album cover) behind you, i recreated that with a friend of mine several years ago when we went on an English Rock Walking Tour of London (????)…i'm slightly younger than that era, though, so wasn't too starstruck – i'm more depeche mode, kate bush, spice girls era ????
whoa! What a thrill to get this notification. Great to see you, and with an unboxing to boot! Yes, still metallic, but also, yes, much better quality and deal than the last one. Those are handy for practicing and for more intimate gigs. ••• Good luck with the move. You'll have to let me, and/or us, know more about that. ????
welcome back Dave!!! Will we see you doing lives again??? I did contact YouTube why they demonetized your channel…….they were upset that Orange was no longer part of the show and they acted accordingly.
I suggest after the move…….get a (orange) cat.
but seriously,welcome back
