silverfoxnik Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Late last year, Chris bought some acoustic panels from me for his studio and we finally met up last night at Clackett Lane services on the M25 to conclude the deal. We first did a Basschat deal together back in 2007 when we traded basses, and since then I think I've dealt with Chris half a dozen times.. On each occasion, it's been an absolute pleasure because Chris is just a great Basschatter and a completely cool person to deal with and to know! Highly, highly recommended! Thanks Chris, and here's to the next one mate... 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Another deal with Chris. The words that always spring to mind are honourable gentleman. Always an absolute pleasure, he really is Basschat royalty. Enjoy the bass & until the next time Chris, my thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etienne Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 It seems unbelievable to me with all the gear we've both bought and sold on the forum that Chris and I haven't dealt with each other until now, but it was worth the wait! I recently took delivery of his Mesa Boogie Buster head, concluding a sale that began in late October whilst I was away on tour. Chris couldn't have been more accommodating- happy to wait until I'd returned back home to the UK and was able to meet him in person to collect the amp. When work commitments at his end meant a change of plan, he instead made sure that the goods were packed extremely securely and flightcased, and shipped the lot to me (which couldn't have been cheap- the parcel weighed as much as the van it arrived in!) at his own expense... what a gentleman! His communication was great throughout too, as you'd expect. Furthermore, when the goods arrived and it became apparent that a switch wasn't functioning, he didn't hesitate to make good on the situation and immediately offered to cover the cost of a replacement for the offending part... a much appreciated gesture. Ten pages of positive feedback can't be wrong, but it's my pleasure to add my own thoughts to these and reconfirm what a credit Chris is to the BC community. Thankyou mate!

Conan Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 My first deal with the legendary Beedster, and it went as smoothly as everyone else's has! Sadly, the bridge I bought from him (and he posted to me) doesn't quite fit my Sire, which is entirely MY fault, not his, as it was exactly as he described. Note to self - measure things properly next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 My first transaction with Chris - well respected member here for a good reason - sale went as smoothly as the proverbial child's posterior. No hesitation in trading in the future... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Well, it took Chris a month to get a few Rickenbacker parts to me. But I got it today and when I opened the package he'd put in a copy of Paul Boyer's book too, by way of apology for the delay. Apology accepted!!!! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I was looking for a 2 saddle bridge and Chris got in touch. Despite post office closure and a busy schedule he got it out to me in jig time. Top man, look forward to any future dealings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxos10 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) Purchased an Ashdown stool from Chris item arrived safely and on the day indicated prior to me receiving the unit. He even included a suggestion for getting it by Mrs Naxos (a secret never to be told). Top man, thanks Chris.

pete.young Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Another day, another brilliant transaction with Chris.

mart3442 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Just sold a neck to Chris that I originally bought from him! The curse of Basschat marketplace. Top lad, as ever. Cheers, Mart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howdenspur Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Just bought Chris's Fernandes bass, somewhat complicated by the fact that it's a rare piece and we live several hundred miles away from each other and then further complicated by both our attentions being diverted by Coronavirus! Packaging by Chris was brilliant, had some banter about life, the universe and everything. Top bloke! Cheers Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedunc Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Chris bought a MacBook from me recently. Hassle free deal in the midst of the apocalypse. Nice chap, payment straight away and great comms. What more could you want? Deal with confidence. Thanks again Chris. Cheers Dunc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Fastest deal ever. Just sold Chris a P Retro - it was posted up here, bought, and posted out within 3-4 hours, I think. Easy communication throughout and Chris was a gent. You need have no worries when dealing with Chris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Had the pleasure of spending a socially distanced couple of hours with Chris yesterday and it was an absolute pleasure! As always happens on these occasions, I'm still buzzing about the conversation we had ! I've never heard or seen Chris play the bass in all the time I've known him, and I suspect he's pretty damn good at it! But one think I can be absolutely sure of is that Chris is a born educator. In amongst his love of music, his expertise about the tools of making music and his all round top blokeness, there's also this amazing wisdom and knowledge about so many things that happy to share... Such as his story about the Scorsese film 'The Last Waltz', which I'm about to check out today after Chris told me about Neil Young's performance of 'Helpless' in it... Btw; Chris, as I said, KD Lang has been covering that song and others from NY's back catalogue for years.. Check out her album 'Hymns from the 49th Parallel'. And thanks for all the other pearls of wisdom and golden nuggets of info too - my head's still exploding from what you said about neural pathways and homeostasis!! 😳 Absolute light bulb moments. 💡😁 Ooh, and lest I forget - what can I say about the V12 that hasn't already been said other than that it's freakin' awesome!! Thanks for selling it to me, it's beyond my expectations already.😊 For anyone on here who's not yet had the pleasure of dealing with Chris on something bass-related, all I can say is that you'll really appreciate it when (and if) you do as he is a bit of a Basschat legend for very, very good reasons! 👍 Thanks again mate, and here's to the next time! 😊 Nik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
