I am a 54 year old metalhead that is finally learning how to play the Bass guitar. I'm still very new and getting more comfortable each day playing. I'm around 7 weeks in. I have a really nice 40 year old shortscacle Bass but I also wanted a full size to learn on. So I found this one on Amazon. I read some of the reviews and decided to get one. The price is decent, just about 100 with shipping.
It arrived in factory fresh condition in a decent Styrofoam lined box. The brand on the guitar is Garry. I've seen them listed too on Amazon and they look the same so I'm not worried about it.
The guitar body is very light. The finish is nice and has no flaws. The neck is very solid and smooth. It felt top-heavy at first but I got used to it after the first time playing. It has been mentioned in other reviews about a gap between where the neck meets the body. Mine has a tiny gap too. I'm not worried about it. The neck is solidly attached.
How it sounds. I plugged it in straight out of the box. Tuned the strings with a clip on tuner and started playing. It sounded good, like a bass. It just sounded like it was a little dull. I played with the knobs some and was ok with it. Every night I'm practicing with it, getting more comfortable with it and liking how it feels. I did put a better strap on as the one that came with it was not that comfortable.
Last week I had it tuned/setup at a guitar shop. It made a noticable difference. I don't know all of what was done to it but it feels better. Strings are closer to the fretboard and comfortable to use. Other reviews mentioned replacing the strings. I didn't since I am still learning. The sound has improved too. It sounds like it has what was missing more depth, less dull. I definitely recommend a tune.
I think this will last me long enough to save up for a really nice full size Bass.
**UPDATE** I did replace the strings with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings. More comfortable and a slight improvement in the sound.

I love the way this bass looks, feels, and plays. I hadn't played bass in 25 years, and now I'm playing every day. Buy this bass for practically nothing and spend your money on good strings, a great amp like my Hartke, a good cable, and a nice strap.
I wouldn't recommend the full-size bass for a beginner. Get a smaller scale to learn songs and enjoy playing, then get a full-size bass.
