baboom Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Just bought a SH950 DB pickup off Clarky - it was the double version of the single that I had just bought at the local store. He was super quick to get back to me on a saturday, patiently put up with me heading off to the store and sorting the refund on my original purchase before I sent payment to him, and then he spent what sounded like a not-insignificant portion of the afternoon dodging about looking for a postbox that would be cleared first thing Monday morning, so I'd have time to install it before a gig tomorrow night. Top stuff! The pickup arrived this morning so was well pleased and looking forward to getting the bridge filed and them installed :-) It was a real pleasure to deal with him - and looking at this thread I am certainly not the only one! Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bassman Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Just sold a combo to Clarky and had the pleasure of talking on the phone, what a nice chap! Cheers from Yorkshire Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bassman Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Just sold Clarky a speaker and he just sold me a couple of pick-ups, what a nice guy to deal with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bassman Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Here we go again, only this time I'm buying a bass from Clarky, he's put it in the post and I haven't even sorted the mortgage for it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB2000 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Just been trading at clarky's bass emporium, and as always it's been a pleasure to deal with him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzMike Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I recently purchased a J-Retro preamp from Clarky - he was easy to deal with, honest (returned extra unnecessary postage money) and friendly. An oversized bass-slapping thumb up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Well, once again Clarky and I met in a public place and handed over several suspicious looking packages. I have to say, whilst he's always been a good guy to deal with, he excelled himself this time and gave me - and extremely cheap - a stunning set of DB strings that, in the three days I've had them on, have completely changed my DB tone. You said I'd like them Clarky, and you were right mate, many thanks. One thing I will say about doing deals face to face with Clarky is that I increasingly find myself on the lookout for his zombie mates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bassman Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Just done a dodgy deal in a car park with a shady character who goes under the name of Clarky. We exchanged a couple of instruments, shook hands and drove our separate ways off into the sunset. Nice to meet you Clarky Top bloke!

steve Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Just bought Clarky's lovely, lovely Bacchus Jazz bass. Top bloke, very patient with all my questions and accomodating providing extra pics - couldn't have asked for a smoother transaction Cheers mate, I'm well chuffed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslapper Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Received a couple of sets of Prestos from Clarky, super fast delivery, as usual. Thanks Clarky! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I only post here in batches, to try to save time ... After my massive GAS-powered sales drive a few months ago, I finally raised enough to go ahead and buy Clarky's Alleva-Coppolo LG4. The bass was, of course, in immaculate condition, and the deal was, of course, as smooth as silk. The only hiccup was my crap interweb banking skills causing Clarky to have to wait an extra 10 days for his money. Two months later, Clarky bought my Alleva-Coppolo KBP5. Rather than winding me up about my previous slow payment, he paid instantly. Last weekend I helped him to reduce the space pressure in his music room by taking away his Anton Zeller DB. Yet another completely smooth, simple transaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largo Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Just sold Clarky my Barefaced Compact. Great guy to deal with, the payment was very quick and let me know via email when the cab had arrived. Cannae say fairer than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bassman Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 "Ere we go again. Clarky now has a nice Takamine B10 fretless acoustic. Sorry I couldn't help you out with the Wal mate. Clarky made very generous donations to the R.S.P.C.A. and the Dog's Trust, what a nice fella! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick's Fine '52 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Just sold a '53 Relic P-Bass to Clarky, easy transaction, pleasure to deal/talk with. Spot on.

Papalampraina Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I just got a Lollar 51 pickup from Clarky. The guy is a sweet talker, very friendly and honest. Plus, he sold it very cheap, considering it was a new in box thingy. Hope we deal again in the future. Best John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Well, what can you say? Another fantastic Clacket Lane exchange with the one and only Clarky. This time involving a fretless Tony Franklin, a Takamine B10, and a wedge of cash (actually it was a bank transfer but the wedge sounded sexier). Top man , top deal. Thanks Clarky.

BottomE Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Clarky did the business for me on a beautiful set of Lollar Jazz PuPs. Great comms - very easy going and agreeable. Wheres the catch? There ain't one. Feel free to deal with Clarky as he is a gentleman. BottomE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzneck Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Bought Clarky's '53P bass today. A great transaction with a good (but jet lagged) bloke which was a pleasure.
