I bought a gig bag from Michael in a smooth and easy transaction. He held onto it for a few weeks until I had a gig near to him and I was able to collect it from him in person. He’s a good guy with great taste in basses - you can buy from him with confidence.

So sorry @Matthew Canty, thinking of you at this time and remembering my fond memories of your Dad.

I had given this zero thought before seeing this intriguing topic. Having given it some, here's my proposal. Arriving: Ain't no Grave - Cageless Birds & Molly Skaggs Reflection: From Gagarin's Point of View - Esbjörn Svensson Trio Departure: Like a road leading home - Albert King

I’ve just sold a phaser to Jim. It was a textbook deal - Clear comms and prompt payment. He’s a top BC’er!

Have just done a two-parcel purchase off Chris. A courier nightmare then ensued but they were no match for Chris’ tenacity and the items were eventually delivered after I provided video evidence of their lies. Chris went above and beyond to ensure that the couriers did what they’d been paid to do and I’m very grateful for his proactive and persistent approach. The items are exactly what I was looking for, clearly described and very well packed. As others have said, he is top of the top bananas on here. Thanks Chris!!

I've just joined a Fleetwood Mac tribute band so a simple rig is what's needed now. I had about 4 weeks to learn the book before the gig which was fine. I've stripped my pedal board down to a TC tuner and a SansAmp VT DI. I played my Limelight "Pino" all night but took my '89 Ray as a spare. I'm working on getting a bitsa P as my back-up. I used my trusty Little Mark II amp and Barefaced 2x12 cab. I bought a Xvive wireless IEM system to go with my ZS10s and everything worked & sounded great. We have lots of gigs booked & a great drummer so I'm looking forward to treading the boards again after a quiet 2022 & 23.

Chris has just bought my HX Stomp XL in a textbook deal. Good comms & prompt payment. Thanks Chris!

I met with Keir to collect the bass I bought from him. The whole thing went as smooth as can be and he's a top fella to deal with and chew the fat with, especially as we both love our MusicMan's. Thanks Keir!

Late to this but have just donated.

Home now and basses all tucked up for the night. Really enjoyable meeting you all & thanks again to the organisers. The bass highlights for me were @floFC’s Kramer(great front p/up tone & lighter than expected), @SimBass’s Eminence EUB (far superior to my KK) and, at number 1, @emperormingus’s JMJ Mustang with flats ( I want one now!!).

Joel bought my pedalboard in a smooth and easy transaction. Thanks Joel, good to meet you!
