Dave Vader Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Sold oops my old fretless neck, he was a gent throughout the transaction, just a shame he was too far away from me for it to involve drinks. Quote
Lozz196 Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Russ bought a pickup from me. Collected it in person, and we had a good chat over a cuppa about music, the fact that we went to the same school, and know a good few of the same bands. Quote
lowregisterhead Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Russ bought a strap from me - a very smooth, completely painless transaction. Thanks! Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Blimey I never even knew I had me own feedback thread. Cheers for the kind words guys!! Quote
SoVeryTired Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 I'll add another positive sale - Russ bought a set of green neon DR strings from me. Good communication, quick sale and all-round smooth transaction. I'd have invited him in if I wasn't heading out to rehearsal! Quote
Mudpup Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Oopsda bought my Hipshot detuner. Super guy, great comms and the transaction was smoother than a shaved sealion. Mucho confidenco! Quote
fretmeister Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Russ just bought my Boss VE-20 Vocal processor. VERY prompt payment - he turned up at my door 24 hours before I expected him to!! Great bloke, very nice to meet him! (He wouldn't sing in my lounge though - so I had to be the one looking like a wally! ) Quote
gjones Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 I bought a John East J-Retro from Russell. Perfect nick and posted like a flash. Deal with confidence. Quote
andytoad Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) Rus sold me an eb-3 and delivered it to kent from milton keynes, what a top fella! also had a coffee and talked bass, nice to meet you! Edited February 9, 2015 by andytoad Quote
Lozz196 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Not a sale or purchase addition, but Russ sawa post I`d written where I said I`d really liked the sound of my rig when another bassist had played a Jazz through it, so offered to loan me his spare Jazz. Dropped it off to the venue I was playing at on Sat night. As usual we spoke about all things bass etc. So like I said, not a sales update or anything, but credit where credits due for loaning me the bass - and a nice one it is too, am quite taken with it.

Oopsdabassist Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Its for sale if ya want it Lozz........ Thanks Andy for the write up, was a nice trip out on a sunny day. Its always good to meet up with fellow low end freaks, especially when they buy the coffee! Quote
silverfoxnik Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Met up with Russ today in order to relieve him of the burden of owning such a beautiful teal green Yamaha TRB5 Mk1, which is now safely in my possession.. Given our relative locations - me on the south coast and Russ somewhere up Northampton way I believe - this very clandestine meeting only happened because Russ managed to 'arrange' a much-needed works site visit in Crawley, which is within an hour of me.. Without that effort and creative thinking on his part, we couldn't really have worked something out on the bass, so I'm really grateful. So needless to say, I am more than happy to recommend Russ to one and all here on Basschat .. deal with in absolute confidence Folks! As I've said many times before, dealing with like-people like Russ is one of the absolute joys of this Forum and long may it continue.. So thanks for doing that Russ and for selling me such a fabulous bass! Nik Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Cheers Nik, and I'll second your comment re fellow basschatters, I've met quite a few in my time on this board and without fail you guys have all been a wonderful, helpful, knowledgeable bunch, long may we continue!!! Quote
alyctes Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Russ bought some tuners off me. All went well and I couldn't have wished for a cleaner transaction. I'd be pleased to deal with him again. Thanks Russ Quote
KiOgon Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Russ got in touch re upgrading his P-bass as it had 'crackling pot syndrome' a replacement kit deal done, super comms & instant payment, great guy to deal with. Cheerz, John Quote
markstuk Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Bought a Barefaced Compact from this fine gentleman.. Easy, fussfree transaction.. Quote
karlfer Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 On more than one occasion I've met up with Basschatters to do a deal, and you know amost instantly they are going to be a long term long distance friend. Russ is one of those guys. If we both didn't have work to do, we would probably still be yakking about a certain R*** weilding YES bassist. Absolutely top class bloke, cheers Russ! 1 Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 This is in fact very true, if we had gone inside for coffee, I'd probably still be there now, it was my chattering teeth that stopped me talking! Great to meet you Karl, lets do it again sometime! As promised, a fledgling bass build thread has been started Quote
Higgie Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 Russ bought my Tonehammer 500. He drove to my door, we had a nice chat, and paid cash. The perfect buyer - enjoy your amp mate! Quote
Musashimonkey Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 A seriously great Basschatter here guys and gals. He donated some Schaller type strap locks to me, after I put up a wanted ad. He’s a true gent, expertly packaged, superb communications and super friendly. Highly recommended, a true community member here folks. Thank you. Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Blimey Steve, I only just realised you dropped some feedback for me, that's very kind of you. Cheers mate Quote
KiOgon Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 As said many times above, Russ is a comlete gent to deal with, thanks for another wiring loom order, great basschatter, Cheerz, John Quote
