Really shocked & saddened to hear of Martin's passing. A true gent with a remarkable sense of humour. RIP MB1 😢

Sorry to hear of Martin’s passing. Never met him, probably traded with him and always loved his occasional ‘off the wall’ posts.

Very sad news indeed. Thanks for letting us know @ped. Please pass on my heartfelt condolences to the family of the legend that was MB1. 😢

One if the originals. Very sad news.

I traded with Martin on a couple of occasions - always friendly and honest transactions.

 

Sad loss to the forum - a greater loss, I'm sure, to friends and family.

 

RIP sir...

Sad to hear this. Had a lovely chat with Martin at a "Bass Day" in Manchester some years ago. RIP MB1

[bartelby]

Oh no!
Such sad news

[casapete]

Sad news. Met Martin a couple of times, once in a dark corner of an M62 car park we both laughed about. Lovely bloke taken too soon. 

RIP Martin.

Terrible news. Never met or had dealings with him, but who will ever forget “MB1”? I’ll also raise a glass to him tonight…

[skankdelvar]

 Terrible news. MB1 will be sadly missed. My condolences to his family.

[jezzaboy]

Sad news. 59 is no age. Condolences to his family.

[spongebob]

Very sad news. RIP MB1.

 

We did a deal once, and his feedback for me was as expected. Just re-read it, and it still makes me laugh! Brilliant.

 

Basschat legend indeed.

I'm another of the  legions of Basschatters who traded with Martin, another of the good guys has gone. Such sad news, condolences to his family.

I'm really sorry to hear this . MB1  was one of my favourite basschatters . 
I loved his dry sense of humour , and even when bumping one or 2 basses I sold here he did it with his usual wit.

Shame I never met him , but RIP MB1 😾

It must have been very hard for you to have had to announce the sad news Ped ,and like yourself he was a great mod on here also . 
Sad to hear ...
