Glarry guitars have been featured on MANY guitar review channels – but I was one of the first ones to do it (back when their designs were a little too close to the originals by legal standards.)

Since then, Glarry has really grown as a company and keeps adding new products to their line up. They are typically well-under $100 and can be a good value if you know how to do basic set-up work. This is a new style of Bass based on an Ibanez Gio or Similar bass.

The best thing about this bass is it is balanced (not neck-heavy) and crazily light-weight. I especially loved the neck profile on this one.

  • My boy started playing around with my guitars the past few months and has expressed that he wants to play a bass. He’s kind of wishy-washy with how much he commits to things so I’ve been on the fence about dropping $200 on a cheap Ibanez.

    For $100 I figured this thing would be absolute garbage but after watching your vid I feel like this is precisely what I need. Looks beautiful, seems to play fine, and I won’t be completely irritated if he ends up not really using it because it’s ridiculously inexpensive.

    Order is placed and I look forward to seeing how he likes it. Thanks for the unbiased opinion!

  • I got one of these bass and they are crap. I have the jazz bass and it is okay. The GIB is built poorly. Rusted neck screws and neck fitted poorly. bridge screws stripped out.. Don't waste your $100. Some of these guys are getting paid to push this junk!!I

  • China doesn't recognize copywrites. That's why you can find knock off anything there.

  • 3 years late but the G is for Glarry lol I wondered it too but GP for the P bass, GIB for the Ibanez, GJazz for the jazz and so on. Good vid.

  • I've been buying Harley Benton as a discount brand. (I'm obviously not so accomplished as a guitarist.) Then HB used the COVID-Supply Chain issues to jack shipping up from $30 to about $85. So much for economy. I ordered a 4 String GJazz Electric Bass (Transparent Yellow) for $80. I like the Fenderish head-stock on it. I'll get a good look this weekend. If it works out I'll have a good Bass for my studio that I can add tracks with. The proof is in the pudding…..

  • I bought a Glarry G40 , the Ibanez copy. It was practically playable out of the box. The springs needed to be loosened a little…
    Not as good as my Ibanez RG series, but it's a decent guitar ????

  • I didn't expect much shielding under the pickups but didn't expect it to have none which may cause some of that hum and P bass necks tend to be meatier but for the price it's about what I expected overall

  • I just bought this. Really no adjustments needed. I like it. Neck was more narrow than the P Bass Glarry sells.

  • Hi I love your videos! As a fellow musician I was wondering how you got them to send you a free bass please let me know as I would like to do the same thing as a totally blind musician I believe it would be good for their company hope to hear from you soon

  • One way to correct the neck dive is to use tape weights like they use on tires. You can hide them in the control cavity and tape over them to protect the wiring. It doesn't require much weight but the results are well worth it!

  • Got one of these this week, wiring is like a classic LP sans switch (which is why both tones work the way they do), if you wire it like a Yamaha RBX375 (schematics online) the controls will work independently.

  • Hey.. Good Honest unbiased review.. I'm sure Glary will be pleased and benefit from your obviously valuable opinion..

  • I bought a glarry Jazz 2 years ago. It arrived as jig saw puzzle. Strap button fell out, strings scratched the neck, the ground was not soldereed to the electronics, the pick up screws and the way they were mounted F'ked! But it was not my first rodeo, I am old timer and ordered it just to see… So I repaired to what should have been factory. The only new parts I put on it was wood screws for the pick ups, and wire to rewire the electronics. Now with that said…. Once in spec and functioning the tone was not bad. Then I set the neck up and though the neck is as thick as a telephone pole, it slaps awesome.

  • I think the reason it's not super neck heavy it due to the extended upper horn. If it was a p bass, it would probably have more neck dive. I think if I get into bass again, I'm getting one of these. It would make a great modding platform, too!

  • I just bought one for my Grandson in Law seeing how my Granddaughter is learning guitar and I though it would be…..seriously, the model, natural burley with the maple neck and OMG it is GORGEOUS! Expecting garbage strings ( think-if ever there would be a cost cutting move-good ones they make no claims about, right?) so I got a set o GHS's, the brand I use on all my other noise machines but lo and behold, they seem to be half decent strings on the guitar! Now, no blemishes, nitro finish and frets properly filed. the gig bag and strap and cord….tossed in the drawer of nice but no's..did I mention the machine just looks good? A great buy and if it got lost in flight…meh.

  • I bought one and with the amount of time and money I'd have to spend on luthier tools, it would've been better to just go with the Ibanez for a modding platform. It's the first instrument that I played for 30 minutes and never picked back up.

  • I just got this little girl… And she's smooth and silky !! I'll treat her right 😉 I'm more practical… Not a nerd 😉

  • I bought a glarry bass and the neck was so damn fat i couldn't even play the thing, it was like it was a joke (on me ! ) i was so pissed off , i mean those things have the fattest neck in bass history, what were they thinking ?????? LOL. (edited because of typo).

  • just skip the demos your embarrassing yourself , or at minimum get someone who actually knows how to play to demo them for you , seriously your REALLY bad

  • Better packaging than my Dean came in…. aaaaand my Dean went back for replacement since it was damaged in the box.

  • Can you get me that $89 discount on this thing???? oh yes can I plug this into my PC if so what adapter do I need…..

    Reply
  • Just Bought one Based on this Review! You did the Most comprehensive Review I have Ever seen! Great Job! GREAT JOB!!

    Reply
  • I actually have this model and color. I'll tell you I have an Ibanez bass thats $500 and I enjoy this bass more. Great value. I'm going to get the Glarry burning fire in this same color…
