This has a great sound and good playability—including the full two octaves of the 24-fret fretboard. I had to set the action a little higher than I’d like to avoid string buzz—but then I like it really low for endurance reasons while chording, so that’s a pretty minor caveat. On the whole, this is an absolutely stellar deal. The quality seems more like what I’d expect from a bass in the $500-$1200 range. It’s not just a starter bass, imo. (It *is* a starter amp: sounds pretty decent and is more than enough for solo practice but not loud enough for a band, as you’d expect from the size.) Fantastic deal. The bass and amp I received are Glarry, but exactly like the pictures and description aside from the branding, so probably just a change in company name or something.

The two 5 string basses I have had experience with do not match up to this standard. The pickups are not matched to the string separation so the poles do not align with the strings (B and G strings have especially weak outputs). This can even be seen in their promotional photos, so not an accident. Additionally, I have noticed mis-aligned bridges that were uncentered, in one case enough that the saddles were pulled at an angle and B string was almost off the fretboard near the high end of the neck. Overall, I can say I trust the 4's, beware of the 5's.
