this is just for me so that i can come back to listen to this epic riff....keep scrolling....
Tones from the flatwounds were amazing.. I've been using flats for more than 20 years, okay everything from metal to motown, they are always are consistent.
Agreed!
Enjoyed the video! I too reviewed the GJazz bass a few weeks ago, but I like hearing what an actual bass player thinks about it. 👍
Thanks so much!!
Sounds awesome, I have a VM 70s Squire and it became my main bass.
Excellent review Brother. Really appreciate the honest review with good subject matter expertise. God Bless.
Thanks bro and God bless you too!!
Just got one in the mail yesterday... cant wait to try it out. I havent played bass in years.
Enjoy!
IMA buy a Glarry Ibanez copy, next month (love the looks of it; great reviews) 🎸
Ohhh that classic 70s jazz gnarly tone,you nailed it!
Nice! Thanks!
At 85 bucks, if it stays in tune for 3 songs and doesn’t slice your fingers off, it’s great.
This is my first bass. I actually put flatwounds on it just because they're a bit easier on the fingers when starting out. I'm pretty happy!
Great video,thinking about getting my grandson one of these as a starter
Thank you for making this review of this guitar! I will for sure be buying this guitar since it looks great for beginners!
Thank you for your kindness
@@RumblinMan No thank you for providing an entertaining yet really informative video on this bass guitar .
You earned a new subscriber from me keep up the good work!
@@AdvancedMink you’re awesome.
@@RumblinMan My Glarry Finally Arrived and im starting to learn how it works!
if no money for flats, try a sponge under string by the bridge, thanks for the review
What if you don’t have the money for a sponge?
@@NickWeissMusic This question is legit, man!
In order to reduce the thickness of the neck you will need an electronic caliper to measure at the 1st fret , the 10th fret, 17th fret to know where you`re starting from and where to stop. The maple neck is hard wood so you`ll need an electric sander plus 80 ,120, 240, 400 sand papers.
Sounds like a tough job!
A change in pickups and electronics should definitely be the first thing to happen if you get this bass. Thats what im going to do
I bought this bass too, for 86 bucks you can’t beat it. Glad you did the flat wounds. I don’t care for the neck either but for as much as I need a bass (guitar guy) it’s fine. Wondering what other pickups might sound like, maybe you’ll do a vid with a good option?
Absolutely! I have a set on the way soon that I plan to review in this bass.
What amp would you use?
I saw a video on their P bass and the neck and body wasn't fully attached. So I was a little skeptical on buying one. But I bought the Wood Green version which is actually beautiful for $80 on eBay and it came with a crappy strap crappy cord and a crappy amplifier. But with that said the base itself at that price point is actually not only very playable but it seems very nice. Now the strings are garbage and I would replace those and I had to adjust my action just a tad but out-of-the-box it was pretty much ready to play for a beginner wouldn't have any complaints if I had bought it at my first bass guitar. I've been playing for 30 years and have had some beautiful instruments through the years.
I'm getting pretty blown away by glarry. They should be spending money advertising at school events. This seems like perfect company for parents with kids into music and just starting out.
Very good point!. I am starting all the legal paper-work to be a authorize Glarry-Vendor!
watched your review and went and ordered a sunburst one !
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it!
...Great playing,as always,my Brother,& Season's Greeting from Southern Illinois!!!...Nice Bass,for little-money,but "a fat neck on a Jazz",kinda-a-bummer;oh well...Peace...
Great playform for modification. Im really interested.
Go for it!
You had said that you had tested a few of the glarry basses is the feel of the neck the same as all the other bass models ?
Or did you notice any difference between the other models?
In my experience the neck is chunky as heck on both the p and I basses.
What's the width of the neck at the heel? Been thinking of one of these as a base for a project
yea so im gonna buy this bass, cause i like all the things abt it and your review, ill just sand down the neck if its too sharp ( just a little tho ig ill watch a tutorial)
Thank you
I love my Glarry JB. I love the baseball bat neck, and the fret ends on mine aren't bad. For electronics, I had a complete control plate taken off of a Fender Jazz Bass that I paired with some Wilkinson WOJB pickups. And honestly, I'm not so sure it was worth swapping them. In my experience, the tuners are kind of crappy. Mine are rough and shed the chrome plating when you restring. Plus, if you put too much tension on the string while winding them, the gears disengage. But it somehow stays in tune just fine. Overall, absolutely worth buying, you don't even need a reason.
Thanks for sharing bro! Yeah, I think maybe some of the Glarry's vary with setup slightly model to model. The P I had didn't have any fret issues. For me the only downside, really, is the neck. To me, it's not comfortable to play. But some seem to like it!
Are you using the stock Glarry bass strings as well? I actually like them and I usually use the Ernie Ball Med gauge ones. I notice their bass strings are only like 7:99
Yes.
dude, you didnt watch the whole video xD
Pretty damn decent tone!
Is the body the traditional Thickness of a fender J?
I just bought the !!! GLARRY Bass Guitar Full Size 4 String Exquisite Stylish Bass with Power Line and Wrench Tool (Natural Wood)
Damn fonts... Anyone... It was on Amazon... What a beauty... Smooth and silky little brat !!!
I originally posted a comment saying this would sound great with flatwounds and then your segment with flats shows up. Oops😂
Great work as always. I'm gonna guess that the pickups you are putting in are gonna be Porter pickups😏
Rumbling man,What's up it's been a while! I'm pro Glarry all the way,I really think we're watching the birth of a guitar legend here with Glarry,I've said it before,everyone starts somewhere,look at the first fender p bass,it was a basic slab body,no bells or whistle's bass, then over time it got improved,if you've noticed with Glarry,every time they launch something new it's a bit better than the last,yes the price tag goes up,but eventually I think their going to be putting out pro level,Fender comparable instruments. I don't know if you've seen the GP 2s yet,(you should try to get one on the channel!) But their as good as a squier if not better,they got stock Wilkinson pickups,a synthetic bone nut,their nice looking basses,glarrys doing a run of like 150 of the first run,I'm hoping to get one,not only to go with my custom Glarry 5 string jazz,which brings me to another Glarry I highly recommend you checkout,the 5 string jazz is KILLER, way better quality than the 80$ basses.
2 years later, did you sand down the neck and how did that go?
Man, honestly, I sold this bass because I just plain didn’t like it.
How chunky are the necks? What would you compare them to?
Man, it’s chunk-city. I would compare them to the thickest old baseball bat you can find, but with NO finish. This bass in particular had one of the worst necks I’ve ever encountered.
Thing is, Rumblin Man would make a piece of string on a broom handle sound great ;0)
You are very kind sir!! Thank you!!
Rumblin Man. Hey bro !! You change the pick ups?
Still have the Wilkinson’s in. Hoping some company will send me something to review.
@@RumblinMan ok. But this model comes with Wilkinson too ??
This model does not come with Wilkinson pickups. The GJB II does.
@@brittboyette8617 yes. Only the g2 comes with Wilkinson
What amp could I use for this bass?
Any bass amp.
does a fender neck fit on this bass? i heard you say that you might change the neck, and i wanna know what neck you would use so that i can use the same
No neck really seems to be a perfect fit. Whatever you get, you may have to shim. That said, Fender necks are excellent.
Fender neck will cause a more neck dive
I added an aftermarket neck to mine and it was actually lighter than the original neck and the balance improved quite a bit.
Is this a short scale bass?
It is not.
Actually......this bass sound pretty good.
Glarry would be decent if it had some more weight on the body. (denser wood).
The new Glarry GJazz II does!
I bought a Glarry P bass II and it actually didn't require any mods other than Fender flatwounds. Good balance and maple neck along with Wilkinson pickups, very happy with it!
Is Rumble.com your web site?
Very nice.
I found there the video quality and sound quality better then UA-cam.
Also i found more Christian things over there.
I opened my chenell over there
I do not own it. But plan to start a channel there.
@@RumblinMan Great
great Video !!!
Thank you!!
Your face telegraphs your shifts
Quite a lot of fret rattle.
Glarry's are a piece of shit. The one I bought felt like it was made of cardboard. The setup was horrible and it sounded like shit. I made adjustments but there was no hope. They offer a full refund if you are not happy but I just gave mine to a kid. He was happy.
Dude that mix sound like the bass mix on .....and justice for all hahaha.
