I just got the same bass and the e string volume is much lower then the other strings? Other than that it plays well.

I really like Adam's reviews, and they have helped me make good decisions on purchases on other Glarry basses. I just wanted to add and weigh in with my experience of the fretless P bass. I'm a beginner and certainly don't have the experience and knowledge that Adam does, so with that qualification, my own experience has been very favorable. I'd watched this video, and so generated and printed a fret template from an online website, and used a thin line white posca (acrylic paint) pen to make lines at the fretting locations along the top of the fretboard for all of the fret positions. I did notice a variance from the standard side dot positions, particularly higher on the neck. They still function as 3,5,7,9 etc. markers well enough, but the dots aren't centered in the areas further up the neck. They look a little wonky, but this is far made up for by what I found to be the overall quality of the build and performance. As an alternative to making permanent marks along the top, you can use stickers or tape, as Adam mentions in a response to a comment below. Very thin auto pinstriping tapes works pretty well. I started with this, but then decided I really liked having those markers and so replaced with the posca pen lines. I did make some set-up adjustments, lowered the action by cutting all of the nut slots significantly deeper, and spent a fair amount of time making admittedly OCD adjustments to the truss rod and bridge saddles. But...at the end, the action was low, and uniform across the length of the neck. I swapped the strings for LaBella low-tension flats. It plays very well, and it was pretty easy to adjust to the fretting pressure change difference (for me a little different without frets). I'd bought an alnico p-bass pickup, but found that the stock pickup actually sounds really good. I might swap it out later, just to experiment with a different tone, but I'm going to stick with the original (ceramic?) pickup for a while. (My other two basses are the Glarry Jazz and short scale Bronco-style bass. I swapped out pickups in both for Bootstrap alnicos, and I found it to be an improvement in the case of the short scale, following Adam's advice in a video that he did on that. With the Jazz, it might come down to a matter of personal preference. Again, the overall build quality and playability are great on those.) So overall, I've been very happy and impressed with the fretless bass. Been playing it exclusively for several months now. The tuners and neck are stable once adjusted, the neck is very straight, and action very smooth. In some senses, it actually seems easier than with with frets, because of the smoothness, once you get used to the amount of focus required to really nail the intonation fingering. Having the little posca lines on the top helps a lot. The fingerboard board itself was left as is, without line markings. Nice rosewood appearance. I find that the light weight on all of the Glarry basses to be pretty comfortable. From what I read, I think that it is Paulownia. Used for musical instruments in China for hundreds of years. Really nice resonant quality with electric instruments, rich with full expression of complex overtones, and kind of open-sounding to my ear. I look like a kook, attached (by tying) the strap to the neck at the nut side of headstock where it narrows, but It takes care of the neckdive of such a light body.

Can you list the models of digital pianos at this price point that sound better? That would be more useful for people watching this video, so they can listen to those other instruments and decide for themselves. Simply writing that this digital piano sounds horrible and that others sound better isn't very helpful for those deciding....

This amp is horrible. A 3 watts amp can’t handle your bass wich mean that you need to put the gain at 10 if you want to feel the bass but of course the sound will be distorted. Don’t buy it, for the moment no brand have been able to create a small bass amp who do the job

You should be fine learning fretless. I would suggest getting one with lines or side dots, correlating with the actual notes though. There are many available. Good luck!

cpui;d "synthetic" just refer to the pickguard being loosely referred to as part of the body? - A composite would add cost over whatever they could mill from the forest. Does the pickup squeal when volume is loud? Is the pickup wound on a bar magnet- - or are the pole pieces the magmet? I'm losing both arms' function fast - wore out shoulder impingement I think plus diabetes - if I can get help then might buy this bass. Right now I can barely more my arms w/o serious pain.
