Bass Direct

[Lozz196]

Bought a Hipshot BT12 Extender online Tuesday, arrived yesterday. Cant do much better than that. Competitive price too, I’ve been waiting on places to get these in stock for a while and Bass Direct were much better than anywhere else worldwide that I could find, in stock or not.

You should have posted in the "Wanted" thread - I've got one going unused, still in packaging. I'm sure I could have beaten Mark's price....

Always the way....

Another positive from me. Good communication and helpful service.

Another fan here, have purchased at least 8 basses from Mark and the gang over the years, all were delivered perfectly, set-up well, well packaged and they are always happy to help. Hope they are reading these comments!

Picked up a new strap and strap locks from them last week on click and collect.

Good, quick communication and as their website can't deal with click & collect after ordering the P&P refund came through almost immediately.

I had a recent dealing with them that threatened to go South for various reasons, but Mark dealt with it very professionally,  was fair and prompt with all elements of the transaction. I was impressed and pleased to be supporting this great business that we're so fortunate to have serving the UK bass community.  

Ended up with a great bass too.

Bought a Dingwall D-Roc from BD earlier in the week.  Part of the payment was coming from my employer (30 year service gift!) and Mark was very helpful during somewhat involved email discussion leading up to the sale.  Excellent customer service.

Norton Internet Security in Chrome both says it's safe, and let me visit unhindered.
Haven't tried other combinations.

But ... Trojan? I guess your browser protection mistakes them for the Greeks. Greece has a slightly better song than the UK this year. 
I think this warning will last only a few more hours. You'll be OK.

Mine is Malwarebytes usually pretty good at these things 🙁

Trojan on BD's website? Well, my HitmanPro does not show that. TBH, the only danger coming from BD's website is that it is costly to visit (i.e., spending money on new basses) 😉

I have had only good experiences with Bass Direct, which is just over an hour away from me. I try to avoid going there too often as there is only so much will power available!

Very easy to call in for some strings and walk out with a new bass!!

That sounds very familiar indeed. Looks like I am not the only one. 🙂

Due to the pandemic, I have not been there since Jan 2020. However, that has not stopped me from buying 5 basses since then "thanks" to their website. Maybe I should stop checking it. Maybe that helps.

Is anyone here close enough to Bass Direct that they could pop in and have a look at something for me?

It’s highly likely I’ll be there on Friday if that’s any help?

Ha! Just now I learned that the plural does have an 's' at the end.

I just got this from Mark. Great service, fantastic price, amazing bass.

 

[deepbass5]

Glad you guys are not having any issues. I was hoping they would maybe pick up on this post and run a scan just in case. Hope all is well.

I have now amended access through my defenses and can now browse their site again, which is probably more dangerous as some of you have indicated 😊

Perhaps your bank was blocking Bass Direct to keep you out of trouble!

[Lord Sausage]

I used them for the first time ever last week. Really helped me out. Answered all my questions on email and phone. Will definitely be using again in the future.

Good idea. I should contact my bank immediately. I am sure my better half will appreciate it 😉

Wanted one for ages and I have to say it’s even better than I thought.
