$67 Glarry P-Bass

Every time I read "Glarry" I want to say "Glen Glarry, Glen Ross." : )

I have three SXs (two PJs and one J) and they're golden. Perfect. I'm not afraid of these cheap basses. In fact I bought the first SX thinking it would be a good bass to learn to modify. All I did was put flats on it. On the second one, a PJ, I changed out the pickups to some Geezers, isolated the cavity, and put some black knobs on it. The J is stock and it's my go-to.

I want a Glarry Jazz to see if it's just as good only 40 cheaper than what I paid for the SXs. I'm hooked! Plus I'd give one to a friend in a heartbeat. They're great players and no "golden handcuffs" feeling you get from an expensive bass. Sure, I want a Geddy Lee Jazz but I just can't justify it with these options.

I have an SX short scale fretless P. I put tapes on it and SD pups. Sounds great.

So delivery was supposed to be yesterday Fedex pushed it to today, so sometime today?
I got a call from the kids Dad that he wasn't going to have his lesson on Sat., because he wasn't feeling well. The Flu is strong here in NJ, so I hope he is okay.
Hopefully the new bass will brighten his day when he comes back.

That's a very nice thing you're doing for your student. I bought a friend of mine a Glarry Strat. He's so pleased with it, he's not even looking for the LP he says he wants.

What color did you get him?

He really liked my yellow dean so I got him a yellow one, that is why I had to wait so long, the yellow wasn't available when the other colors were.
it is a little paler from the pictures compared to the neon yellow of the Dean.

Good on you for giving this to your student. Do you have a pic of the color to share with us?

BTW, regarding the “Glen Glarry, Glen Ross” thing... basses are for closers!

If it’s As blindingly yellow as mine it’ll certainly brighten his day!

Okay not the case at all with the bass I received it is a French's yellow mustard color :) but it isn't as bright as the Dean Zone
