Gareth Hughes Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 My condolences to all who knew him. I didn't know, and might possibly be one of the few who didn't buy or sell anything to him by the sounds of it, but I always remember seeing MB1 on so many posts. It really is like having regulars in the pub, and it's sad to lose one, to not see that face there anymore. RIP MB1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow_22 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Wow! So sad, met Martin a few times, mainly to deal in Ashdown goodies. His thick manc accent never failed to make me smile as we talked all things bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I’m so sorry to hear this. I have done many deals with Martin over the years and really liked him. We shared a love of cult TV programmes, Status basses and a revolving door of Markbass gear. He really was a true Basschat character and will be missed. RIP Martin and condolences to your family. MB1 we salute you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 Isn’t it incredible how many people can feel the good vibes of a single person through our little community. Buying and selling here has always been a pleasure because it takes trust, and more often than not leads to friendship. Martin’s family are truly humbled by the fantastic showing of memories and tributes posted here. What an awesome endorsement of the community and what a tribute to Martin. 15 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witterth Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) It was a moving service I'm glad I was to be considered his friend/compadre we go back to '82 together. I offered M many deps that he was more than capable of doing but no... " integrity over covers 😎 but what's the dough?" he never caved in ( I can hear him in me head ) as the celebrant said he was " easily the best Bass Player in the room" I will miss him deeply. as for flowers and wreaths he probably have said " flip that spend the money elsewhere useful " in fact he would have insisted but be touched by the offer nevertheless it was nice all the same... MB1 was sent in his next gig his signature double denim, docs and ACR Tee shirt how Manc is that? good journey M see ya in awhile our kid... god Im gonna miss him so much so sad..... He wouldn't have said " Flip" btw ........ Edited September 11, 2021 by witterth 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be missed on BC for those who interacted with him or even just read his posts, he was part of what made BC a good place to be. RIP, MB1.

molan Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Oh no, what awful news. He regularly made me smile and was, as many have said, "one of the good guys"! I will miss spotting his MB1 signature popping up all over the place. MB1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
