New Glarry GIB 5 String bass| Demo and Review

[@bradleypariah]

I bought the Glarry Burning Fire 4-string with the Sunset paint job. I absolutely LOVE that instrument. I bought the six-string guitar of the exact same model and paint job. My old instruments were sitting around so long, their necks started to warp. I didn't know if I was going to get back into playing again, but I paid less than $200 for both instruments. These instruments do not feel like discount merchandise. They inspire me. I've even started writing a new song!

[@RoughAroundTheEdgesWood]

My Wife just ordered the 5 string for me and I have a friend plays bass he has $1500 basses and could not believe how well it played and the price. Thanks for the videos. Ive been learning how to play for a year now. Still have a long way to go but being a drummer for the last 30 years helps with grooves and knowing what to listen to. Cant wait for the next video. God bless and Merry Christmas.

[@rmccain99]

First thing: Tune. Second: Truss rod adjustment. Third: Bridge adjustment. Get to know her. That bass sounds very good, don't do any mods to it!

[@PNNYRFACE]

Go ahead and make the video so we can see how you do it

[@lillianbuckley3935]

Incredibly insightful! I just purchased my own Glarry GIB 5-string and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. This was an excellent review and demo. The satisfaction you had with this bass makes me so excited to receive mine. I know quality will vary from instrument to instrument, but the smooth fret edges and minimal concerns you had with the action gave me hope that I purchased a very worthwhile bass. Thank you!

[@AK-vb2cg]

Did you order it from glarry or from another website I am waiting for mine too and I am just wondering how long. It takes to be delivered to your house

[@robadobflob3405]

That sounds absolutely killer for a 130 buck overseas 5 string... Holy cow man!

[@mlchaelphelps1158]

Make sure that when you tune your bass , make sure you pull up on each string after bringing it to pitch and letting it pop back to the finger board, and retune it. This action causes the string to pull tighter around the string post, making it stay in tune. When you have trouble keeping it in tune, it's cause there's slack in the strings around the post.

[@lordimpaler3899]

And this applies to normal guitars as well?

[@petersokol1603]

Gee mr……are you a magician.

[@godfredakuffo3924]

Hey does this mean just tuning to the right key and then loosening it all the way? Sorry new to this bass life… much appreciated

[@craig4970]

Hey dude, I came here searching for a review on that bass before buying. (Bought it!) But I subscribed because you are a KILLER bassist! I love your style and proudly admit I'm gonna steal some of your licks 🤪

[@BullyThaKidd]

Take em

[@King.DAVid.III2022]

Amen to that 👍🌿🔥💨

[@rubenriverarojas7910]

I get very excited when you unbox a new bass!

[@ColettaHughes]

Great review, I'm a guitarist wanting to play a little bass and this sound like the deal. Thank you :)

[@kevinpruitt7145]

Just ordered a four and five string in this. Can't wait to get it in my hands!

[@Gruvlow]

Another great review as usual man! By Glarry partnering with you for marketing is working. I am buying one! Thanks again for the review.✊🏾

[@Britmysta]

haha, "yes, the answer is yes. Merry Christmas to me!"

[@BullyThaKidd]

Aye gotta let em kno

[@TheJonesbouy]

I've had mine for two days now. I was amazed how well built this bass is considering the cost. So far I haven't found anything wrong. I have always been a drummer. Many years back I learned to play bass. Trying to learn all over again, how playing has changed over the years and yet stayed the same. Lots of news ways to make the instrument 'talk'. BT, this was a great video and made the choice of buying this a no brainer. Glad I watched it.

[@jeromybrinkman425]

James Shipley is it still holding up? I’m considering buying one soon

[@michaelgarrett8281]

Thanks, sampling the 5 string because I was just online looking at a 5 string jazz Glarry.

[@jeremygalvin7726]

I ordered a 4 string Glarry Jazz bass based on your review! Thanks!!

[@KingSlimry]

Great review man. Mine will be delivered tomorrow.

[@maakatipa4613]

Do I really need another bass ? OF COURSE I DO !!!! JUST GOT GIVEN MY FIRST BASS. I'm 61! It's a 1970s to 1980's Aria pro 2, Avb 40 in natural. In like new condition for for 40 year old bass. I absolutely love it. Never realized until recently just how amazing bass is. Think I've been asleep for 50 odd years lol. Now I just want to buy every bass I see, so i totally get it. Love your review and although you don't need some nubee telling you how good you are. Love your playing.

[@mpdjr77]

Thank you so much for your review. This bass is a unicorn. Your playing is niiiiiice. Grace and Peace 😊

[@brybosch]

I bought the 5 string JB when they just released them. Neck is chunky and theres a few flaws but nothing a guitar tech can't fix. I got the sunburst one, beautiful color.

[@950kid]

Thanks for great reviews which convinced me on these glarry bass guitars, ended up copping this Gib a P and a Jazz😅..your playing and licks are real enjoyable and funky man your getting a great tone with this one 👌🏾

[@ansol68]

"Do I need another bass? Yeah, yeah I do." LOL

[@basskilla3050]

[@lancelittle593]

You and that guy Rumbling man really know your stuff!!

[@bossman-jk9tl]

Whoa that's weird, I just ordered one of these like 5 minutes ago and was watching your 4 string glarry demo, then this pops up. Perfect timing!

[@markopolo2224]

yall rich

[@wooddawg4868]

You are a bad dude for sho. I just started playing bass for the 1st time. I am a beginner beginner 52 years old with minimal reading skills from high school days in the band. Watching you inspires me and I wish I could meet you to get a few pointers.✊🏽

[@freednighthawk]

I got a Glarry Jazz bass with the white pickguard in the blond "burleywood" color. I actually really like it, Though, the pick they sent was a white think nylon... for a bass. I use it with my 12 string. I plan on picking up a GIB 5 "Updrage" with dual humbuckers and some undefined tone control system.

[@AwesomeOldGuy]

Man you look happy as all get out when you opening that box I know that feeling 😅 .

[@EasyHeat]

I'm needing a 5 for some different genre down low tunes. I'm mos def digging your review game tho bro. You sold me, and got a bell ringing sub. Good stuff man. Stay gold bro.

[@alexheigher6756]

Death metal? Cannibal Corpse? ;D

[@Clunk49]

I got my 5 string after your review & demo. I gave it some love too. I also put on some Rotosound 88 nylon wrapped strings...smoooooth. How about that light weight, maybe 5 or 6 lbs. and lots lighter than my gig bass. The Glarry is nice for my old carcass to carry. Thanks for the info!!!

[@brittboyette461]

I just got one for a Christmas gift that looks exactly like yours. So far I've done a complete setup on it and put Rotosound flatwound strings on it as well as a PureTone audio jack. I've just ordered Fender Noiseless pickups for it and I'll upgrade the entire electronics as well. It's my first 5 string bass and it's taking a bit of practice to get use to it, thankfully I have 5 other 4 string basses to play!

[@-whiskey-4134]

I plan on buying a few Glarry’s just to fill the collection and have cheap backups/travel bases. I dont like to beat on my high end ones much, I like those for when I actually record things I write. But i love having inexpensive bang for buck instruments to jam in my bedroom on or let people borrow when they’re trying to decide if they want to buy one but have never played. They’re also nice to travel with so my main bass doesn’t get damaged, or if it were to get stolen I’m only out a hundredish bucks or less. My favorite cheap bass rn is my Rogue LX 205 series 3. I got it on sale for like 70 bucks no shipping during an Amazon prime deal like 3 years ago. I typically dont like thick necks, but it feels good on that one.

[@Gerry926]

Yeah, this one sounds pretty good. I'll have to check their site. Good review bro!

[@artguess9893]

Love it, I got mesef the gib and the gst from glarry for Christmas! I'm really sorry to think hi end stuff of you're mostly buying the name. They claim better quality parts but I know people got cheap stuff they've had for years and years and years and still works well.

[@statimiresaint2591]

“Grrrrrr”! Sounds crisp and delicious Bully.

[@MTBTexasBikeRider]

I’m about to buy this bass guitar it will be first time own a bass guitar! You really helped me to decide I’m buying it now! Thank you so much great video! 😎🎸🤘🙏

[@spikesvideos]

was looking at one of these, thanks for the good review, Bully!!

[@megadawg342]

BtK,... I've NEVER seen any pro bass player tune DOWN to the pitch. NEVER!!!!!!! Even if it were a liquid graphite nut, it would still be unacceptable. But,.. you still did a great job on this review, as always. I have an arsenal too, 10 or 11. Bought a BRICE from rondo starting back in 2004, and all kinds of Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean diamonds since. It's 2021 and I just bought one of these for $119. It's un-real! How do they.... how can they...? IDK. JUST DO IT!

[@zodak9999b]

"Do I need another bass?" How is that even a question?

[@GarySchneider-pi8dh]

You are doing things correctly. It does need to be a practice of doing things correctly and in order and I appreciate seeing it.

[@MrBombom25]

Yeah I went and bought the fretless for $85 thanks for sharing man👊👊👊

[@brandonwilliams3189]

Glad you demoed this one, because I was looking at that exact model.

[@djb.drumming7450]

Did you get it?

Good video, do they do any short scale basses or could you do a video on affordable short scale basses?

[@staggersmusic]

Good information and excellent review! Thanks Bro!

[@fr-ep4fv]

Tarantula fingers. Change that name. Soemthing going on with those Tarantula's crawling across the neck of that bass! BaSSanomical presentation! Thank you for sharing. I wanted to experiment or at least check this out and you saved me some research time.

She sounds awesome out our the box!!!

[@lancelittle593]

I bought the Glarry jazz upgrade,and the P version after your video, Personally,I don't have any issues with that chunky neck either

[@rmccain99]

Oh! whats the weight like?

[@lautaro.k6164]

hey, is glarry and ktaxon the same thing? because I found the same exact bass but sold by "ktaxon" not glarry, thanks

[@pk6336158]

Which one would you purchase as a beginner, Glarry, Harley Benton or Donnor 4 string bass?

[@BullyThaKidd]

Knowing what I know now Harley Benton.

[@terryb3024]

Is the neck, the thicker one like on the GJazz? Or the thinner faster neck like on burning fire bass?

[@BullyThaKidd]

It's chunky but not horrible

[@rmccain99]

Is headstock tiltback?

[@King.DAVid.III2022]

It sounds amazing with your hands on it 🤓👍 I'm bout to pu one of those, can't beat the price and a 5 string will work right in with the ESP LTD 4 string. I seen one fella, put active pre amp to the pick up.🤔 Gotta have one. Thanks Brother 🗡️

i reached out to glarry to do a review on one of their basses after i bought my P-Bass from them after watching your review on it, I don't think they'll let me but hey, i asked. thank you Bully Thakidd "but its blue doe"

[@BullyThaKidd]

Ayyyyyeeee blue all day cuh

[@HeWentRogue]

I have reached out to them in the past also but they said my channel was too small

[@Walruswhale]

@@HeWentRogue yeah they basically said that too, but i only started 6 months ago on Twitch.tv and here on KZbin, I got told I would never get affiliate doing what i do, cant do this cant do that, well now i have affiliate, 14k views, over 500 followers, and im verified on KZbin as well.

That’s nice look just like my cort 5 string

[@kengagnon7784]

Hi, Bully is the string spacing nice and close it looks like it in the video also you mentioned about the back of the neck profile being kinda high, maybe get it sanded down, I'm thinking of pulling the trigger, thanks for response, nice playing bass bro

[@alexanderlumberjack]

How sharp are the fretts?

[@Jackofallthetrades]

Currently $129 but with free shipping, and that is still a total steal as far as I'm concerned! Would love to see that sale price Bully mentioned at $100, but then again, I'm a cheapskate lol Nice job, Bully!!!

[@gee6607]

I've never heard of Glarry til I watched your vids. NOT hating on them and kinda shocked that so many folk like them seeing as tho they are rather inexpensive, dare I say cheap (in price)! But I aint mad at a cheap bass!!!!!

[@carson0201]

Is the lowest string the B string below the standard E string?

[@Clunk49]

yup

[@68able2]

man that bass looks sweet

[@huntr_music]

Hey man, I love your videos and I’ve been looking into getting a 5 string bass and this sounds like the one for me. Only question I have is this more like a Jazz bass or a p bass? I see it has the two separate pickups, but what are your thoughts?

[@BullyThaKidd]

Yeah it's a 5 string jazz bass... I don't understand your question

[@htx_carlos4766]

Does a 5 string sound the same as a 4 string just has a 5 th string that sound difrent?

[@Dmoney2times51]

Yes

[@hadleymanmusic]

Good review man.

Good demo obviously bass needs a setup , but for the cost . It’s a good upgradeable platform, thanks

[@A2daj954]

What’s good bro nice video man just purchased the 6 string Glarry I love it as well it’s just the B string has less volume then the other strings is there a fix for that? If not I’m going 5 string 😅

[@brCharlieNagy]

Excellent demonstration, sir , you just don't use the low B string much

[@greasy8eyes]

Have you checked out Thomann usa and the Harley Benton bass guitars? If not you should check them out.
