karlfer Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Just received a bass from Chris. Packing, well, it was so good it actually looked like it had been delivered from the factory! Chris put a hard case in, with no extra charge, just to ensure it arrived safely. Simply put, superb product, service and bloke. Deal with utmost confidence, top drawer geezer! Many thanks for making it so easy Chris, all the best, Karl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldman Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I was pleasantly surprised by the MB AC101 Combo, all the gubbins I needed for the new band fretless project, then the band evaporated (the way they do). As this was only a couple of days after I received delivery I tentatively asked Chris would he consider a reversal. My flabber was gasted, when he, without hesitation, said no probs. A seamless untransaction by a great guy who was under absolutely no obligation to accede to my wishes. Never mind the extra mile, this was an extra marathon. Many thanks Chris, I owe you one.

Muzz Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Another deal with Chris - an amp this time - and as always, well packed, delivered and perfect comms all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 My second deal with Chris. He really is remarkable. Cliché, but, he is simply the best. Many many thanks Chris and enjoy the confusing tuning up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkpie Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 This too was my second deal with Chris, only this time I was buying. Faultless deal, all very smooth, and with the peace of mind that I could return the bass if it didn't suit me. Well, it does, so it's staying! Thanks again Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byo Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) I Purchased an All-Parts rosewood J-Bass neck from Chris (Beedster). I had placed an advert on the WANTED section and he was kind enough to offer me a lovely neck (that fits incredibly well on my bista Squier body) for a really good price. Great communication, photographs and details from Chris during the process. The neck was packed extremely well and seemed like it was delivered from the manufacturer directly! I will certainly deal with Chris again in the future. Byron. Edited June 14, 2015 by Byo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tredders Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Another stress-free enjoyable deal with Chris. I bought his Fender tele-bass, which is currently being renovated. Top man - great comms, great price, great to do business with. Simple as that, really. Look forward to our next deal, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sterling_76 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Received lots of advices from Chris regarding bass parts, equipment, pickups, preamps, etc. And he is a very honest seller who takes care to set everything up and check it twice before the sale. I really appreciated it! Zbynek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Sorry for the long-winded feedback, but this needs to be said... I first met Chris back in the early Basschat days; we traded a couple of basses, sold some gear to each other and met up a few times at the now infamous Clackett Lane services on the M25... Have also bumped into Chris at a couple of the Bass Bashes over the years, including the one-off National Bash back in 2008 up in Northampton. Every time I met up with Chris, it was an absolute pleasure - he really is someone who's passionate about music, electric bass & DB playing and he knows his stuff when it comes to all of that too! Plus the various bits of gear have all been good... So, just recently, I bought Chris's Ampeg rig from him - which is absolutely wonderful sounding by the way - but with his hectic schedule and mine, it just wasn't looking like we could get together for a few more weeks...not that that was a problem particularly. Anyway, I got an unexpected message Wednesday morning from Chris asking if I could meet up that evening, which I didn't think I could do as I had friends/family down for the day from London as it's half-term, and getting away for 2-3 hours to meet at Clackett Lane just wasn't going to be possible. But it turned out that Chris was going to be heading to Portsmouth, so he offered to meet me in Littlehampton or thereabouts so I could finally get hold of the rig he'd sold me. Finally, about 6pm, we met up at the local A27 services and had a fantastic, albeit brief, chat about a bunch of stuff, which included Chris giving me a 5 minute pep talk and mini-lesson about DB playing - which I'm thinking of taking up. Then, he gave me the Ampeg head & cab and we both headed off back to our respective homes... mine 10 minutes away, Chris's more like 90-120 minutes away. All of that is pretty cool in my book; someone going out of their way to deliver some fantastic gear to you is just typical of the kind of person that Chris is, and why this Forum really is the best way to buy/sell bass gear. But what's so amazing is that Chris did all of that Wednesday even though the reason he was travelling to Portsmouth in the first place, was to see a close family member who'd suddenly been taken quite seriously ill! So, there you have it - isn't that just incredible?? I just can't express how grateful I am for Chris's generosity of spirit when he was having such a personally difficult time, and I wanted to thank him personally here on Basschat and to share this story because it really is the best possible feedback I think I could give him. Thanks Chris ! Am absolutely great to see you and I'm loving the rig already. Here's to the next time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassintheface Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Chris bought my 2 Aguilar DB112 cabs in a really easy transaction. He messaged me quite quickly and we did the deal. He paid really quickly and arranged for his courier to collect (due to us being about 5 hours or more drive away from each other). I packaged the cabs up and labelled them for him etc for them to be collected from my workplace. We've spoken a few times on the phone and he's a really good guy. Am more than happy to deal with Chris again - buy and sell with confidence guys and gals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No lust in Jazz Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I bought Chris's PJB flightcase. An easy well packaged and effortless transaction delivered to my work place. I would have no hesitation in buying from Chris in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) A belated one from a deal in late summer! Chris bought a Wal off me, at a meet up in a Suffolk beer garden - he was on his way to a wedding, I was aimlessly enjoying the sunshine and the beer I'd bought the same Wal off him last year; at least the third time we've bought stuff back off eachother (think our wives are getting suspicious......). I should mention that the deal was a kind of three-way one that helped me to acquire something I particularly wanted and couldn't otherwise do; it involved Chris taking the biggest personal financial risk I have ever known anyone make, and he did so without a murmur. As many have said in these pages; Chris is a genuine legend and diamond geezer in these parts - particularly enjoyed silverfoxniks story above!

silverfoxnik Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Another great story of Chris's legendary Basschat buying & selling... Surely there's a movie in this... Or at least a John Shuttleworth type TV series, something along the lines of '500 Motorway Service Stations'?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musashimonkey Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I've done a couple of trades/sell of some PJB gear with Chris. Top guy, I mean it, and I'll say it again; TOP GUY. He invited me in his house, I had the pleasure to meet his thoroughly adorable family, and everyone made me feel so very welcome. If he's ever selling anything, even if I don't need it, I'll be considering buying it, just for the experience; as he's as cool as they come. Trade with complete confidence, it doesn't get any better than this folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Well after years of chatting and admiration of some of his gear - Chris and I had a dealing with one another. Paid instantly once the deal was agreed, great comms throughout and was cool as a cucumber when the bass didn't arrive on the agreed day. I wasn't sure I wanted to sell the bass, I'm glad I did as it freed up some funds and I know it's gone to someone who will love it. Thanks Chris - it's been a pleasure.
