My bass board. The GP-5 is there for headphone practice and/or drum beats when our drummer can’t make it.

I installed a set of EMG PJHZs and an LHZ-05 preamp in my $85 Glarry short scale bass. It sounds fantastic and plays great after a bit of fret work and a setup. I was too excited to try it out and forgot to snap a photo of the cavity with everything in it. I put the battery in the back. Note...

I picked up another Glarry Bronco copy to mod. I had a passive EMG PJ set and put those in. Still using my dremel as a router. I have an LHZ preamp on the way that I will install next weekend. I also installed a barrel jack to make some room for the incoming preamp and pots. This Glarry had the...

As Glarry seems to be a proper name, I’m also going with Glarrys. Link

I’ll take a number when you get a chance. Here are the Glarry basses I currently have:

It’s a killswitch. I have them in couple of my guitars and had an extra one in my parts box when I was working on this bass. I thought, “What the heck, I’ll give it a try since I’m already putting extra stuff in it.” To be honest, I haven’t used it much at all on bass. I find it easier to get...

Here’s an update on my modded Glarry bronco-style bass. I picked up a Korean-made short scale jazz bass from the 70’s a couple of years ago at a pawn shop and could never it set up to play that well. I liked the sound of the pickups, so I put the neck pickup in my Glarry along with a 5-way...

I’m really sorry to hear this. You will surely be missed by many. I haven’t been on this thread for all that long and I’m going to miss you.[/MEDIA]

My latest Glarry acquisition. I picked up their Bronco style bass and modded it a bit. I got a cheap humbucker and replaced the stock single coil, added a 3-way switch for pickup selection, installed a thumb rest, and put in a kill switch button I had in my parts box. The frets had some edges...

Yep, the 24” scale. For the price, it’s great. I swapped out the pickup with a Wilkinson I already had right away, so I don’t have much to say about the stock pickup. If it’s like the stock pickup in their full scale fretless then it’s decent. Nothing special, but it has decent output. For the...

It’s the mini.

I hope the return works out. I picked up a Glarry fretless about a year ago and it's a really nice bass for the money. The truss rod in mine is fine, so he should be ok if they swap it out. On a related note, I have really been into playing short scale basses lately, so I decided to defret my...

It’s the same one.

I wasn’t sure where to post this, but one of the basses is a Glarry so I thought this might be an appropriate place (actually the one in the back is also a little Glarry that I recently defretted). Having grown up in the 1980s, I am a sucker for bright colors and I couldn’t resist trying some DR...
