Clarky Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Just met up with Chris in a hotel car park off the M25 (!) to hand over my as-new 2009 Fender US Jazz (yep, you guessed it, in white). Great guy and I am sure we will do more business ahead! Quote
Dr.Dave Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 I've dealt with Chris in the past but today he stepped aside from a deal of his own purely to help me out. I'd like to publicly thank him and let everyone know what a gentleman he is. Quote

You've done a fair few people on here a few favours in your time so call it karma Chris Quote

onehappybunny Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 As everyone says Chris is 'a top bloke' (they're right ) and pleasure to deal with when buying my Ric pick-ups Good comms, prompt payment etc. (he even chucked a bit in for postage, even though this was not asked for) Highly recommended!

magee Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I bought a 1973 jazz body from Chris and, what with one thing and another, it ended up being quite a tricky transaction. Problems emerged at all sorts of stages and I am sure they would, for some, have been insurmountable. Chris, though, was friendly, patient, accomodating and did everything he could to help find a solution to the problems that arose. He was extremely generous with his time in getting the bass ready, way above and beyond the call of duty. And when there were a few problems once it arrived - which were caused in transit despite the bass being perfectly well packed - he was again a gent in helping to get it sorted. We can all be good eggs when everything goes smoothly but when this one hit some snags Chris did everything he could to get it sorted. It was hugely appreciated, thanks Chris, Matthew Quote
BB2000 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Just bought a cracker of a jazz from Chris (Clarky's old one). As usual he was a pleasure to deal with! Quote
YouMa Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Just bought an audere preamp from chris,my jazz is now a ferrari as opposed to a ford focus in terms of performance,chris is a decent chap no problems at all.Enjoy spending my money mate. Quote
stevie Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Bought a TC Electronics preamp from Chris, who sent it express to make sure it didn't get held up by the impending postal strike. A gentlemen if ever there was one. The preamp is great. Quote
RayFW Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Bought a dbx compressor from Chris. I now have more flashing lights in my rig and we all know that you can never have too many of those. A great deal and fast delivery to boot. Cheers Chris! Quote
bigd1 Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Just done a gear exchange with Chris, in a dark motorway service station near Birmingham. Top man very easy to deal with. I think if security had clocked us, they might have thought something very very dodgy was going on. Big things being swapped from car to car, very suspicious indeed. Great to meet you Chris. thanks again Ta very glad Dale Quote
neilb Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 had a similar experience in Thurrock with this "Chris", in the dark and all that!!!!! Top bloke. Neil Quote

I'm sure the CCTV footage was checked a few times, especially the bit where I was really struggling to get the large dark dead weight into the back of my car! I'm very happy with the Mesa, hope you're equally happy with the Markbass Cheers Chris Quote

Clarky Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Last time I met Chris it was in a hotel car park and he ran off to relieve himself! Quote

nobodysprefect Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) Top drawer! Too fair for his own good, really. (he opted for a quick delivery service because of the strikes, which I didn't even request... I think could have pocket a good 5 quid with a slower service!) Edited November 14, 2009 by nobody's prefect Quote
lee650 Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Ive just added myself to the very long list of very happy people who have dealt with chris, he bought my mark bass stand and paid immediately, a pleasure to deal with, thanks chris - lee Quote
aj5string Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Bought a ridiculously nice 72 Ibanez from the good man. Really well packed, and a definite keeper of a bass! Cheers again! Quote
ateyercheese Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 A bit late to the game, sorry Chris. I bought a set of books/DVD's from Chris is an easy transaction, even with postage in the strikes. A real pleasure doing business with you sir. (another) Chris Quote
waynepunkdude Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Just got back from Beedsters house, always a pleasure to sit and talk all things bass and movies. As ever smooth deal. Quote
Dodge Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Yet another positive experience with Beedster - bought a PJB Bass Buddy from him and he was a top bloke throughout. Cheers Chris! P Quote
Flanker Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Chris and I finally did a deal yesterday - total pleasure to deal with as expected. He denies it but I suspect he is either A) SAS or MI6 so if he says I was nice it's only cos I was a bit scared!!! (Sean Connery voice.......' Q you're a sh*te, a sh*te for shore eyes' ) Cheers Chris! Quote
2x18 Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Just bought a J-Retro from Chris, and as usual it was a nice smooth and easy deal! Great guy to do business with! Will. Quote
