Lozz196 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) 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.... Edited March 18, 2021 by TheGreek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcolm.mcintyre Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Another positive from me. Good communication and helpful service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassatnight Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andermtc Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokl Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeb Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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) 😉 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 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!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Is anyone here close enough to Bass Direct that they could pop in and have a look at something for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns-bass Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I just got this from Mark. Great service, fantastic price, amazing bass. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepbass5 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) 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 😊 Edited May 23, 2021 by deepbass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Perhaps your bank was blocking Bass Direct to keep you out of trouble! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sausage Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
