Ktaxon 5 String Electric Bass Guitar | Full Size 5 String Bass Guitar Kit

After not playing bass for a few years, decided to give it a go again. Bass shipped 3 day. FedEx delivered it's a Glarry box. It's basically shipped in Styrofoam and a box. Opened it, found bass not damaged at all. Gave it a once over, everything looked fine. Plugged it in, electronics all work. Bass was almost in tune, the strings were intunated correctly, action looked good enough, neck was straight. Strings are a little "rough" feeling, but nothing to loose my cool over for the price. Sounds good. The B even sounds good thru a Fender Rumble 25. The bass overall doesn't have a lot of weight, probably half of what a 5 string Fender would have. The bad. So the A string isn't perfectly centered in the neck, but pretty close. The bridge has a slight cant about 1/8" closer on the B side than the G. The bridge has a few spots of tiny specks of rust (maybe?). There was some weird cream looking stuff on the back cover edges and around the pickup cavity (maybe polish compound). Overall, very pleased with my sub $100 bass guitar. Is it a Fender or a Sire? Nope, but it's good enough for a beginner. If the bridge was straight, it would have been 5 stars.

Sounds good I enjoy it

I'm enjoying it It's batter than it say it is

I've been casually playing a cheap combo pack Squier for years. Recently I've become more serious about learning bass and getting better, and my wife says I can spend $1k on a new bass. I want a five string, but I got a 7 string guitar and absolutely hated it. The extra string made it impossible for me to play for some reason. I kept hitting the B when I meant to hit E and so on. I didn't want to make the same mistake with such an expensive bass, so that's how I ended up going with a Glarry GIB 5. This thing cost less than it would cost to have rented a bass for a few days. It's beyond my wildest expectations for the price. I expected a barely playable hunk of wood just good enough to decide if 5 strings are right for me. What I got was a completely playable instrument. I'll be buying more Ktaxon/Glarry products in the future for sure. Now I have a 5 string to play and get used to before buying a much more expensive bass. If you're buying this bass for a beginner, make sure you take it to someone who can set it up and intonate it, and you'll have a decent instrument.
