Yea, I'd been wondering if there were any gunk left in the slot. Some day when I'm up to a whole new setup I'll check that. The first time wood screws are installed they often pull some wood up and make a little ring of sawdust and splinters around the holes.

I'll be on my way tonight. In just a few minutes.
BAH!!
sorry I missed this...
I’m more free after next week -hope it was a good night
It was a little slow in the bar, but Barry and Shawna were great, as usual. I'll be around next week. I'll show up.
I ordered a Glarry P Base last night. Going to compare it with my Fender Player Series
FWIW, on 08/30/2019 the price is $74.99 plus $2.99 insurance fee
This is one day before new US tariffs fees go in to effect on Chinese imports.

...or there are countries that are currently industrializing, with companies that have some CNC machines and cheap-ass electronics. Let’s be honest, even mid range basses don’t have expensive components. You’re paying for a bit more TLC during production.
I can’t say for sure that the working conditions are fair here, but we don’t have to be so cynical from the jump.
My $75 Dark Blue P-Bass arrived directly from Glarry today. It was in the newer all styrofoam interior shipping box. No flaws that I can find at all. I lubed the worm gears of the tuners with a squirt of silicon spray before tunning.
Put it side by side my Sonic Red 2019 Fender Player Series that was $600 more. What a bargain from Glarry. No regrets at all on my Chinese vs Mexican comparison test. Money well spent.
Received my blue version of this bass non branded today! The craftsmanship (condition) is what you would expect from a guitar hanging and being played in a music store! Not perfect. That said I love this bass!

Mine were very low output.
The volume is the same as my Fender Player Series P-Bass when going through my amp and both knobs set at max. I was shocked.
A little more hum from the Glarry, that was addressed in the review video going through the amp. No hum when using my Vox Amplug though.
Distance from the top off each string to the top of the pickup on my Glarry P-Bass as set at the factory. Hope this helps.
E - 0.26”
A - 0.26”
D - 0.25”
G - 0.20”
It's most likely the strings.
I bought a cheapo bass and the output was about 1/3 of normal.
Put on a set of brand name strings and the volume was normal.
