I have a rare short scale Gibson SG bass. I hope sometime you come in Kefalonia Greece for summer vacation where you can stay in my house where my mum used to live and now it is empty, for free. I will be very happy if i see this amazing beautiful gifted angel playing with my SG bass. It is an open invitation if you like to come for relaxing summer holidays here in Kefalonia.

I got my first guitar from a neighbor who gave it to me on Independence Day. I was holding it sitting next to his father when someone shot off a really loud firework in the back yard. I jumped and the guitar headstock hit the dad in the mouth and chipped his tooth!! That was probably around 1970 when I was around 10 years old! Thanks for popping that memory into my head.

    That is a great bass for the price.I got one cause I love the way it looks and I have a thing for tiny basses lol. I'm using it as a mod platform and trying to make it is "high quality" as possible. Great video!

    The bass is cool (I thought its price is somewhere between 2 and 3 hundred bucks), and Ellen is awesome and lucky one to have such a Dad, who is both a friend and a mentor. Thank you guys for the video and for the vibe! You earned my "like"!

    This reminds me the Amadeus movie. Salieri says "I do not envy Mozart, but I do envy having a father like his who taught him everything since he was a child".

    Great job and great playing Ellen! I have an Ibanez Mikro on order for my daughters to play around with. It's very interesting to see this at almost a third of the price! I still think the Ibanez will be a little bit better quality, but this is definitely great for the price, and you rocked it!

      I have both a Glarry and Ibanez Mikro. They are the two basses I play most often. I upgraded the pickups and bridge on the Mikro, but only the bridge on the Glarry. The soldering on the pot wiring is a bit iffy on the Glarry and the frets could use a bit of work, but otherwise, it's a coin flip.

      @@EllenPlaysBass Nice! I look forward to seeing that sometime in the future!
      Fretless acoustic upright bass might be fun in the future as well. I've seen very young people in bluegrass music bands using stepstools to enable them to play those.

    At just $110, Glarry is going to sell a thousand of these little basses solely on the basis of this one review. You folks had better hire some more craftspeople - especially a really great bass tech like Derek Jones - and while you're at it buy a bunch of really amazing wood planks as well! Ellen and Hovak will be coming back very soon for another, somewhat larger bass, and they're going to ask for something really special!
    Meanwhile, Ellen's playing just gets better and better. I can't wait to see what she's playing and who she's playing beside, 10 years from now! 😎

    Hi Ellen,
    My name is Robert Bussiere I live in Ontoagon mi and I am 66 years old, because of your inspiration I went and bought myself a new Ibanez SR 300E 4 string bass guitar 350.00 the different tones you can get out of it is amazing! If you don't have one already, get one it will blow you away.
    And action is extremely good VERY LIGHT ACTION i barley have to push down on the strings!

    Hey, Ellen ... Even though I am old enough to be your grandfather (or great grandfather maybe), I still admire the progress you make day by day. You just keep getting better and better. Today, on this base, you did something that I have been waiting for ... you played every single note perfectly in tune! I have noticed that on basses with a long neck, it is hard for you to reach or the distance you have to move you left hand is too far to play so fast. So, then the note you play is close, but not always "spot on" and in tune. Today was it was a thrill to listen to you to play. You are really getting up to speed. You might even want to stick with something close to this size for a while. Congratulataions on a magnificent job. "Grandpa John" Big hugs from me.
