These are my personal experiences, I'm sure like with Bax others have dealt with them no problem at all. A few years ago I bought a cab from them, advertised as having free delivery. They called me up after I placed the order and told me I had to pay delivery. I reluctantly agreed (i shouldn't have), took the day off work waiting for the delivery and unsurprisingly it never showed up. Didn't even respond to my email or return my call complaining about it I just got a delivery schedule notification from the courier for a couple of days later. A year or so later I was selling a bass, no joy on here so I emailed them asking them about selling via their shop and asking for details about commission etc. Didn't even bother responding to me. Appalling customer service from my perspective, once they had my money they couldn't give a shit so as a consumer I avoid them now.

Sadly there seem to be only 2 specialists in the UK for Bass gear that I'm aware of. Bass Direct which is a 4 hr round trip for me and the Bass Gallery who are one of the worst organisations I've ever dealt with.

Fortunately it seems my Black Friday purchases from Bax have gone relatively OK. Tracking took a few days after my shipping confirmation email was received to show anything, but the amp head did arrive today (a day later than my selected delivery date). I have another order I'm waiting for that I also made over the weekend, tracking just got updated so hopefully I'll get it by the end of the week. Email responses were slow, it took about 2 days for their customer services to email me back and they weren't very helpful in helping me understand what was going on - fortunately things have started to progress without their intervention. The reason they gave for the slight delays in delivery and tracking status was just black friday load on both them and the couriers (I opted for Parcel Force).

I used Planet Wave (subsequently D'Addario) American Stage cables for years (the ones with the Nuetrik/Rean jacks). I've also got Planet Waves XLR cables and Speaker Cables that I've gigged multiple times and never had a problem with any of them. I recommended them to another BC'er based on my experiences and the fact they have a life time warranty and they had nothing but problems with theirs :(. I guess like many other companies quality control has just gone out the window in favour of cheaper manufacturing. Last time I make a recommendation to anyone. The only cable I've ever had a serious problem with was an Evidence Audio cable, clearly had some fault but became unusable due to noise. I've been pretty happy with the Mogami instrument cables I've been using recently but I've not gigged them so don't know about durability. However all this talk about Van Damme cables has got me curious so I've ordered one in goblin green (to match my trace combo) to try one out.

What do you think of the elf? I'm considering a nice little compact rig and am considering an Elf - @Doodmade it sound great on his video review.

Trace Elliot GP12 122h 2x10 combo, 300 (Trace) Watts! Collection only (or meet up with 45 minutes of my house) due to the heft! Lots of features including: - Green illuminated control panel - 12 band graphic EQ - Pre-Shape filter (for that classic Trace sound) - Valve Drive - Two Band compressor - Harmonic Emphasis It weighs about 35kg which although heavy by today's lightweight class D amplifiers it can be carried by one with the handy side handles. I bought this combo from this forum a few weeks ago, thank you very much UKLefty :). Sadly I just don't find myself using it and it's taking up a lot of room in my small office space. I've always wanted to experience that classic trace thing, I started my bass playing journey in a world of light weight class D heads and light weight cabinets. This combo has taught me the true meaning 'heft' and what a real watt sounds like! It's in immaculate condition and all works perfectly. Here's the original ad (I recycled the pictures):
