B-Mac Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Well, it's been a week today that I received my Glarry Burlywood Precision Bass and I have to say that I am a believer. I am simply amazed. Not a sharp fret on this baby. No flaws on the finish and the back of the neck is satin finish like I prefer them to be. The neck is straight as an arrow with no buzzing...quite playable out of the box. Width at nut is 1.67", 0.86" front to back C shape and 1.03" at 12th fret transition to D shape. The pups were very quiet and I raised them up a bit and they did get louder, but they seem to be low output. No noise. The knobs were great with no static and firm to turn. For an entry level bass this thing is simply amazing. It is also about 6.5 lbs. on my analog 'health-o-meter' bath scale. Very light, so this is also worth looking into for gigging musicians with some back issues who know how to do some minor mods. It shipped from a New Jersey warehouse to my front door in two days via Fed-Ex. Really quick!

hooky_lowdown Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I had one of these, had to see what a super cheap bass is like. Mine was super bright yellow, arrived with two large splits in the paint, bridge was half way up the body (slight exaggeration, but was a lot higher than normal) and the nut was not straight. Pickups were very weak and it had crazy neck dive. Machine heads were so stiff, I was afraid to turn them in case they sheared off. Worse of all was I kept getting marketing emails from Glarry, even after I unsubscribed, they still came. It looks like yours is a lot better than the one I had. I think the burlywood one's are much better than the others. Glad you like yours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Mac Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Sorry to hear about your experience did you try to get a refund or exchange? Mine has no issues like what you had but the pups were quiet and raising them had helped but they were still on the quiet side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 What’s it like under the pick guard? It doesn’t follow the lines of the body, so I’d have to address that! Great what you can get for your money these days though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
