I'm now the proud owner of Mick's Fender Precision A/E. Mick delivered the bass personally, all the way from Hatfield to Brighton, and he's clearly one of the World's good guys.

I managed to get the latest Transglobal Underground album signed by the band for Mick, he's a fan which I'm very pleased about 
I thought it only fair I pay for the album and as soon as Mick received it he paypalled me the tenner.
Thanks Mick, I hope you enjoy it!

Just went to Micks place to buy his Boss ME20b off of him and the whole deal was sweet from start to finish. He gave me a great deal on the item and he even offered to give it to me cheaper as someone had advertised the same thing for less money on the day I was due to come collect it!
He was perfectly happy to let me have a go on his Custom (wonderful sound), his Stingray (great neck) and his fretted Veilette (I have GAS again!) and if I'd had more time no doubt he would have been just as courteous with his Jaydees and his Overwater.
He even loves Staffies!
Great guy, trade with confidence!

Mick saw my post asking for recommendations for a "cost effective" gig bag the other day and simply put a spare one in the post. You can't really get more generous than that. Thanks Mick.

Exchanged Stingray pickguards with Mick, very pleasant communication and smooth transaction. Mick is a gent, and patient too... as I realised when he called me while I was driving with my phone in a compartment under the dashboard... I was expecting my gf to call, so I just pressed the button to activate the speaker and spoke to "her" in Spanish, saying that I was in the car, and I could not hear anything she was saying and that I hoped she could hear me, and that the speakerphone mode in my phone sucks and I should get a hands-free kit... A short while later I arrived to my destination, park... and I heard Mick on the phone "hello?" 
very embarrasing... sorry!!!

I just wanted to post a special thanks to Mick, who kindly donated two sets of strings. I work for a music charity (www.readipop.co.uk) so the strings will come incredibly helpful to us and to young people that can't afford their own strings.
Thanks again Mick, you're a scholar and a gent.

Mick just bought my GB Rumour from me and was a top man to deal with throughout, really nice and polite and great with comms.
I was sad to let this bass go but know that Mick will take care of it!
Would highly recommend him to others on the forum.
