Feedback for Paul S

Another splendid deal with Paul, this time I was selling (some strings). 10/10 cheers!

A few months ago, Paul bought my Tecamp Puma 500 top to deal with.

I've just sold my Riverhead Unicorn to Paul and it was a quick and seamless deal. Great communication, prompt payment, pleasure to deal with.

Thank you Paul!

Heard from Paul a few days back, he was wondering about a Peavey Fury.

Handily enough I had the very thing he was after 🙂

A super easy deal and the Fury is now in Essex.

 

Cheers Paul, was a pleasure dealing with you 👍

I bought Paul's Hohner B2B bass. Great comms and was willing to ship to the continent. Bass arrived well packed and safely even though I goofed up my address in a senior moment 😂.

Thanks again for the very easy and straightforward deal. Pleasure to deal with.

Bought a Danelectro bass off Paul. It arrived in double quick time and very well packed indeed. A pleasant and easy transaction. Absolutely chuffed with the whole shebang. Cheers mate!

So you're new to Basschat and Paul S is offering something for sale at a too good to be true price. 

What do you do? 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

I'll tell you what you do You buy it, with complete confidence and peace of mind. You see Paul S is as reliable, honest and decent a fellow as you're ever likely to deal with.

Just bought a pickup from Paul at a good price, in good condition, and shipped in no time in a good solid package, with good communications.

All good !

+100 to this... 

Last year, @Paul S very kindly lent me his Sprackenbacker bass for a recording project I'm doing that needed that sort of 'Ricky' sound. .. 

Despite vaguely seeing each other around on Basschat, at that point, we'd never met - still haven't in fact.. But Paul took a chance on loaning out the bass to me purely based on a number of messages and 1 phone call I think it was...

I guess it was kind of a trust built on what I can only describe as 'the Basschat Guarantee'.. 😁

Anyway, spin forward 5 months later and that bass has now been used on loads of the tracks and has been of enormous benefit to the project! 

Then, Paul gets in touch with me to say he's thinking of moving the bass on and would I like first refusal?? Could I believe my luck? No I bleeding couldn't!!  And of course, there was only ever going to be one answer to that question..

So now, I'm the very proud owner of said Sprackenbacker bass and I just wanted to share this little story with all you Basschatters out there about what an absolutely brilliant bloke Paul is ! 

As was said above so very well by @stewblack. 

Paul - thanks very much for your generosity and for being such a help - it really is very much appreciated by me and the guys involved in the recording project! ☺️👍🎶

Aw shucks ☺️

[Happypants]

Paul indulged my weakness for a pretty bird’s eye maple neck and quenched the GAS ... for now! Quick to reply to messages, offered to meet halfway, had a great natter. Would happily buy from again; a real gent. 

[Cosmo Valdemar]

I am now the proud owner of Paul's Guild B-301, a gorgeous old lump that I fell in love with straight away (the bass I mean).

 

As usual I could have happily stayed around chatting all day as we share a common interest in not only bass but also the world of horror and the macabre!

 

All this in possibly the most exotic corner of Essex I've ever seen.

 

Cheers Paul!

[Chiliwailer]

Sold Paul some strings again, always an easy going and friendly sale 🙏👍

[kodiakblair]

Answered a "wanted" ad of Paul's regarding a Renegade bass. 

 

Sent a couple of photos , answered a couple of questions and the deal was done 🙂

 

Everything the folk above are saying is true , Paul is great guy and a pleasure to do business with 👍

[SamIAm]

Lovely, easy purchase of a Hondo Alien from Paul.  As described (The bass), very happy with it.  And we shared a few pleasant minutes chatting away in the sub zero conditions of the services car park.  Thank Paul! S'manth x

Paul just bought some strings from.  The usual immaculate transaction.  Many thanks Paul.

[BreadBin]

A thoroughly pleasant experience buying a Stagg EUB from Paul today. I am one happy chappy!

Thanks Paul 👍

[NoirBass]

Bought a Simon & Patrick acoustic guitar from Paul. Super easy transaction and all round very nice experience.

 

Really happy with the purchase.

 

Thanks again Paul!

[hooky_lowdown]

Purchased a nice bridge from Paul. Very nice chap, excellent communication throughout.

Erwin Rommel was a keen bassist, but bigged himself up far more than his actual abilities deserved.

 

George S Patton was also a bassist, and a s*** hot one at that. During the African campaign in 1943 Patton offered to settle matters mano mano, by having a bass-off with Rommel, winner takes all.

 

Rommel was so fearful of getting thrashed and severely embarrassed by the uncompromising and hard driving Patton that he fled to France where he formed a new band, The Atlantic Wall.

 

Unfortunately a falling out with the bands drummer Adolf over having sausage rolls and burgers served after a gig ended with the band breaking up and the drummer returning to his bunker studio on Berlin.

 

Patton was sadly to meet his end when his tour bus crashed in December 1945.  Even then, rock n roll was hedonistic and the life expectancy of top flight band members was short.
