Kevsy71 Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 I bought Mick's Gator 4U case - rocket fast communications and dispatch, very friendly, and a superb case at a great price! Cheers Mick, great doing business with you Quote
Noisyjon Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 I recycled a case and Mick met me to collect it. A top man and good chatting with you. Cheers, Jon Quote

Manwithvan Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Mick and I traded a Warwick for a Spector, and I was very happy with the exchange. We live some distance apart but were able to meet up because Mick kindly travelled in to London while I was there for the day. It was great to meet him, he's a true enthusiast and a really nice chap to deal with. 1 Quote
Jimothey Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 Purchased a set of individual saddles from Mick He posted them out very quickly and for a very reasonable price! Very happy as they are exactly what I was looking for! Thanks Jim Quote
dmccombe7 Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 Got a message from Mick after i showed interest on a Mesa Mpulse 600 saying he had one and was happy to post. After many concerns from me on shipping issues i have he answered and re-assured me on every point. Put me totally at ease and arranged the courier with ful insurance thru P4D. Amp arrived with enough packaging tape to secure a bank vault. EXceptionally well packed. He also included the service report from few weeks ago and all the leads required. Amp was in great condition and i can confirm what everyone else has already said that he is an absolute Gent, very helpful and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended to anyone looking to buy from him. Posted yesterday evening and arrived approx 11:30 this morning. Have to say pretty great service from P4D and Parcelforce. Thanks again Mick The Amp is first class and i'm loving that warm tone it has. All the very best Dave Quote
Shaggy Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 As posts above show - Mick is definately one of the good guys on BC . I posted a wanted thread for Trace Elliot cab logos this evening expecting absolutely zilch response, and blimey he PM's me straight away saying he has one and happy to send it as an Xmas prezzie for gratis. Many thanks Mick! Will return the favour if I can, and I refrain from making any pun on the classical phrase "Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes" (work it out...) 1 Quote

Beedster Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Now then, there appears to be something amiss. I scrolled through the lengthy list of eminent BC'ers who've had the pleasure of dealing with Mick to realise that in 8 years or so of his residency, the two of us had yet to deal in bass gear..... Readers will be glad to hear that all has now been rectified, and I am now the happy owner (not for the first time you won'r be surprised to here) of a Mesa Powerhouse 15, the most glorious sounding (and heaviest) of all 15" cabs. More importantly, the deal has left me with that warm, fuzzy, life-affirming glow that only the best gear deals can provide. First, Mick responded to a wanted ad with the actual item I wanted, i.e., not some random item that could pass for it in poor light as has often been the case ("I saw you're looking for a Wal fretless 4-string, I've got a lovely Wal fretted 6-string.......". Second - and this is pretty serious stuff - he offered it to me at a ludicrously low price, and then refused to accept my offer of what I though was a reasonable price, settling for a sum marginally above his first offer. We're talking seriously gentlemanly behaviour here. Third, he agreed to send the bloody thing by courier, and you need to have owned and/or lifted one of these things to understand what's involved; serious volumes of cardboard, bubble wrap, 'FRAGILE' tape (which kinda made me laugh because with Mesa's ability to over-engineer the f**k out of everything, this is about as fragile as Wimbledon FC in 1988, apologies to Liverpool fans), and the risk that the collection guy is going to punch you. Fourth, his comms put GCHQ to shame, I knew what was going on every step of the way via polite, friendly and accurate info. Fifth, he engaged me in discussion about huskies (long story) when I'm sure he had far better things to do. Mick, thank you mate, it was an absolute pleasure to deal with you. If/when we catch up at a BassBash one day, the beers are on me mate Cheers Chris Quote
Marky L Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I bought a gold P bass bridge from Mick last year and the whole process was smooth, easy and was a pleasure. I just forgot to leave feedback, so am remedying that now! Thanks again! Mark Quote
lee650 Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Just a bit of feedback for quite frankly, one of the most fantastic guys in basschat land😁 A few may know that a fantastic Yamaha 424 came up on eBay a few weeks ago,That I just had to have. Well as it was collection only there was no way I could get hold of it as i dont drive! Well this fantastic fellow offers to pick it up for me so I could arrange to have it courierd from him. He not only arranged pickup with the seller/ made an 80 mile round trip/helped me with organising the courier. He wrapped the bass very securely in a Yamaha box thst he had and travelled to a post office so I could get it. Ive been on basschat since 2007 and made friends with a lot of great guys (also dealt with some nutters too😂) and this guy is among the best of them. There wasn't anything in this for him,other than helping a brother out, we hadnt even conversed before. A gigantic thankyou Mick I'm so grateful and the bass is currently my favourite 😁😚 Edited March 23, 2019 by lee650 1 Quote
Mudpup Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Mick gallantly fought his way through the traffic nightmare that is Harlow to grab a box of old porno bass magazines that Mrs Pup was trying to throw away. They have now safely been rehomed in Hatfield i believe. Top bloke, recommended 😊 Edited April 13, 2019 by Mudpup Quote
timo Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 Mick sold me a cab in response to my wanted ad; he persevered through technological faff to get it sent nice and quickly, refunded a botched PayPal payment and has been a gent throughout. Top BCer, can't recommend highly enough. Quote
AndyTravis Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 Mick repayed a favour I did (ages ago) for him whereby he collected a bass from a ‘collect only’ seller near him and shipped to me. couldn't have done a better job. Lovely man. Thank you x 1 1 Quote

Bassman666 Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Completed a trade today with Mick for my chowny bass. Met at a mid point, arrived nice and early. Let me have the choice of two instruments nice friendly guy, would happily deal with again! Hope you enjoy the bass! Quote
whizzzy Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Mick helped me out with a cover for a Trace amp, which are now very hard to come by. Smooth and faultless transaction in every respect. A credit to the BC community. Thanks again Mick. Quote
Soledad Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 I've been very slow on this, sorry Mick. But if you ever get an invite to visit, grab it. Like walking into a timewarp bass store full of rare and unusual gems. Had a good try-out on the GK110 combo which is very impressive, but also a Spectorcore fretless (much praised by many) and a large handful of rare custom basses... all in a room stacked with Trace, Quilter and loads more besides. Top man, gatherer of some amazing bass gear, above all a Trace fan (Bass Collection too). Many thanks for the invite, your time and a grand day out.👍 1 1 Quote
