Glarry Jazz Bass Review And HOW TO make it AWESOME!

[@epicmage82]

This was extremely informative and helpful. Thank you.

[@scarmyguitar]

You're very welcome!

[@boomerbassmeme]

It is a shame we didn't have the internet and fine people like you to teach us these things 40 years ago when I was a kid and had to deal with crappy instruments! Am an old fart now, but you are teaching me how to fix and maintain them, and helping the next generation! You are awesome Sean! Merry Christmas bro! 🎅👍

I bought a Glarry PJ, the blue to black burst. I've been a luthier for eons, and I wanted to use it as a modding platform. Could I turn a $79 bass into something that feels like a $1600 bass. Mine had a maple finger board, and they never really finished the fret ends. No fret sprout but all were sharp. I pulled the finger board and replaced it with a maple ribbon curly maple one. The inlays are now black pearl blocks. When you turn the neck they go from 'mercury silvery white to black.' Slimmed the entire neck front to back, better shape and a 1.5" width at the nut. All black mettal will be changed to cosmo black, that mercury back look. The paint for the body and headstock face plate for lil Daddy Roth sparkle Berry Pink sparkle, or fuchsia. The finger board and back will be covered with many coats of amber-ish Tru-oil gun oil. I'm changing the 4 volume and tone controls to 3 knob two tones and one blender stereo fader with a detent instead of any type switch. Detent pickups are on full and then I can fade each for volume. Be done in about 30 days.

Thanks man! You make it look so simple and less intimidating. Should of been doing this all along! :)

[@scarmyguitar]

you are welcome sir !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@billalexander949]

I recently upgraded a Fender Squire Pbass with all new pots and pickup. I want to say your ground wire technique is pure genius. Makes everything so neat, I even took some of it apart thinking "it can't be right. Too simple", then put it back like I had the first time (your way), and it worked perfectly. Thanks for such a simple approach. I'll be using it all the time.

[@elpimientero7435]

Nice video dudes, i actually own 3 Glarry Basses and they always come with that same problem, nice that you solve it :D

[@keezm.541]

How long did it take for your Glarry Bass to get to you after you ordered it?

[@elpimientero7435]

maybe a week, i order it from ebay

[@johnjohnson3221]

That is great to see Josh again and to see you guys fix up a bass. Very cool Merry Christmas SCAR MY GUITAR.

[@WattchomanBrandySavage]

This video is giving me the confidence to tackle light fret work. thanks guys!

[@AndyDion]

Nice work on that Glarry bass Sean! The end jam sounded great too!

[@chadwilliams8083]

Ol Joshy,"inspect these nuts".AWESOME JOB

[@bassicly4250]

Nice ground fix. Think I'll do that from now on.

[@King.DAVid.III2022]

Thanks brother, The hum is a ground issue, last time I ran into it, touch the string with finger it stops.

[@thehammm]

i have one of those and was very impressed by it

[@azbababooey]

Theses are great videos to show how to easily improve an inexpensive guitar for beginners.

[@DoubleDguitar]

Amazing how some small tweaks can make something feel so much better. Good work bruh 🤘🏻🤙🏻

[@Andy504-p7l]

Glad to see Josh back

[@scarmyguitar]

he's not, it's an old vid

[@markgrimm3564]

yep all musicians should know how to maintain there guitar like owning a car you need to know how to change the oil and filter and the spark plugs good job .love the zip tie trick very informative .ya got my subscription

[@patriciaslevin834]

Another Troglodyte! Love the one you made for him! The neck is amazing!

[@gilpi552]

You should try tapping the high frets before filing, just in case they are not properly seated.

[@f1948s]

I totally agree. With where these come from the wood still has moisture content and as they dry out that is when you get sharp ends poking past the fretboard and frets rising out of their slot. My bass had been setting for a while and as I started to clean the fret board upon checking them practically everyone of them needed a slight tapping. I will try to keep it humidified since I live in the southwest U.S.

[@bobt5778]

Great job! Everything simple and to the point!

[@johnvoorhees7881]

My buddy from work just gave me a right hand GLARRY P-BASS. I'm gonna have it redone to a lefty and see how it holds up.

[@johnvoorhees7881]

@@kevone08 yeah, I bought a lefty, and it does have the neck dive. All I can afford for now.

[@legofan711]

Trogly sent me here. Really nice guitar you built for him!

[@HeathenwoodOfficial]

Gonna save this to my stuff I need playlist

[@nerfandskate619]

Great work my friend! Keep it up!

[@Flarsen999]

I watched troglys video and got linked here and watched a couple of your videos, nice guitars.

[@donaldbeyer7277]

Awesomeness 🤘 Now I can do my Glarry bass Following your example 😎

[@ElectraOmega]

Great video Sean. Uncle Glarry should hire you as quality control! MERRY CHRISTMAS BROTHER!!! 🎄🎸🤘🎅🏻🤘🎸🎄

[@petestaint8312]

Fantastic video! Thanks for posting. 👍

[@scarmyguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Zombie_13x33]

I'm pretty sure they level the frets. My strat was pretty good besides the electrics and pickups were crap. But I guess the qc isn't the best

[@randallcolthorpe6149]

Great info! Peaked my interest!

[@doxierottenbreath5773]

I just bought one of these, so I was wondering if you could please comment on what grit was the sand paper on the sanding block and also what size do you estimate the frets are and what size crowning file should one use on the frets because when I went to order one online they weren't cheap, there were all sorts of sizes and I just want the right one. I plan on correcting these issues. Also there are 2 sizes Precision Notched Straightedges for bass guitar for standard and short scale. I'm not sure what scale the bass is considered and looking up definitions did not help me because I don't know where to measure from where to where... Great video! Thanks, Mike

[@scarmyguitar]

80 grit, this is the best file. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08P81H8Q2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@ramonmartinez8462]

[@TGBassguitar]

Any way you can link some of the tools he used for the fret/board work?

[@rogerwade44]

Trogly sent me. Awesome work!

[@bigbrogrizzz]

Awesome

[@congerscott6064]

Does that bass have a big or fat neck ? Years ago i bought a cheep bass off the internet and when i got it the neck was so big it was unplayable, that looks like a great bass 👍.

[@scarmyguitar]

It's not too big!! Can a bro get a sub?

[@ferdberfle5069]

I picked up a no name Precision bass clone from Wish.com a few months back for $59. I'm planning to mod it by adding a Jazz bass pickup. Doesn't sound bad as is, I just wanna experiment!

[@f1948s]

Why did you start the straight edge at the 5th fret area instead of starting at the top(1st) fret area of the neck when you first straightened out the neck? When I worked on guitars I always started at the top of the neck with the straight edge. Your opinion would be appreciated. Thanks for the video. Good job. So true about needing the proper tools.

[@scarmyguitar]

I used a guitar straight edge, I didn't have one for a bass scale at that time. Thanks for asking!

[@AndrewMattis]

[@justgonnagetbetter1037]

[@dennyps1]

Great how to video

[@garymartin7032]

I do have one fret has a buzz at the 9th fret of the E string. It goes away if I raise the string up, but then the action gets too high. A friend is telling me to pound down the fret. Whats your professional opinion?
