aj5string Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Traded a Warwick for a Fender with Nigel today - was great to deal with; very accommodating about me being awkward to tie down to meet up etc. The bass is just as described - just what I was looking for! Cheers again - glad your happy with the fortress, I'm def. chuffed with the Fender :-) Speak soon... Quote
xilddx Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Superb, I'm so pleased you like it! Hope the gig went well. Did you use it? Quote
chandybass Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Bought the Hartke Bass Attack VXL from Nigel. It's a brilliant and simple to use piece of kit. Got it safe, in good working order and the day after the payment formalities were done.. oh and it's been well looked after Thanks Nigel for getting a newbie like me through the whole process with patience!

xilddx Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Pleasure's all mine, old chap.

waynepunkdude Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Nigel transcribed some songs for me in his own time then videoed them to show me how they are played for an audition. What a guy, I'm eternally grateful. Quote
Musicman20 Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Nigel is a top fella! Met in a pub near Oxford St Tube, and gave over my old faithful bass, a MIJ 62 Reissue Precision. Im glad that you like the bass Nigel, and thanks for the help and the coffee! Im very happy to meet fellow bassists, and Nigel is one trustworthy guy! He even paid for the bass 1 week in advance! Im sure we will have a few drinks and a bass update when I move down. Cheers Gareth Quote

sixshooter Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 It was good to meet with you Nigel, and share some of the interest we have in Bass and Guitars. Hope you enjoy the Spirit and I am glad it is going to at long last be used rather than stored. If anyone wants to know, Nigel is a top guy! Quote
xilddx Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Thanks mate Was a real pleasure to meet you. Quote
baboom Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Just bought a Fender precision 62 RI 1996 MIJ from Nigel. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with, wouldn't take a penny more for the postage than what he originally estimated (even though it cost more) and went as far as refunding the extra cash I tried to stick in his account! He patiently answered all my questions - my first transaction on BC - and first decent bass (so I had some silly questions about strings etc). He got it in the post sooner than expected, well wrapped, and delivered to me in record time. He even offered to try to meet me to hand it over when I was making a flying visit to London on Thursday but that turned out not to be practical at my end - but much appreciated. She is a beautiful bass, in amazing condition and just as described. Very happy - thanks a million Nigel. Enjoy that new Jazz of yours! Cheers Tim Quote
xilddx Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Cor, thanks Tim, I'm so happy you love that bass, musicman20 will be pleased aswell as it was his first decent bass too when he bought it new. The Jazz is fantastic! As is the Steinberger double neck I got yesterday Thanks again mate, I'll start a feedback thread for you now. Cheers, Nigel Quote
bobpalt Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Just concluded a deal with Nigel for my Wilkins, and apart from an enormous amount of hassle with the couriers cocking up what should have been a simple delivery on Saturday morning not once, but twice (thanks for nothing Parcel2Go.com!), it couldnt have been smoother. A very decent and honest guy to deal with, and I hope he and the Wilkins form a close bond! Thanks again Nigel, Cheers, Bob Quote
Tomash Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 I too have had a fantastic transaction with Nigel. The Wilkins is now in my possession and what a beauty! I am head over heals in love with it. Nigel has been wonderfully patient with me while I accumulated the funds and extremely hospitable when I came to collect. It couldn't have been a nicer experience, thanks a lot Nigel. A pleasure to meet you. Tom xxx Quote
xilddx Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Tom, thank you! I am so pleased you have the Wilkins, and please let me know about your London gigs, I'd love to see you in action with it. It was a reall pleasure spending some time with you. Take care, mate, N Quote
Philly Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Just had a very smooth hassle free transaction with Nigel purchasing a Washburn acoustic from me. Great guy to deal with, very friendly, good communicator and honest. Hope you enjoy the bass! Phil Quote
socrates Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Hi - bought Washburn acoustic off sildxx this weekend - really chuffed with it, plus got a nice cup of tea and to play on some seriously nice Warwicks to boot!! What a great chap to deal with . . . don't feel like such a newbie anymore now that I've actually met a fellow bass chatter . . . now keeping a look out for a nice Warwick though . . . Quote
Jam Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Just picked up Nigel's $$ and I'm smitten. He's a lovely guy, knows his bass and obviously takes very good care of his equipment. An absolute gent, went as far as to give me directions and pick me up from the station in his car. A pleasure to deal with and really fun to hang out with. Really appreciated the beer and the chat mate, was going to be a very boring evening otherwise! Nice cats too! Am now noodling on the $$ in my hotel room and trying not to play it too loudly... Quote

fragility Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Having just sold a Roland drum kit to silddx with absolutely no hassle, I can definitely say he's a pleasure to deal with, honest and his ability to krypton factor a lot of gear into a small car is simply mind-blowing, thanks! Quote
Clarky Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Just took delivery of Nigel's J-Retro. In immaculate condition and packed expertly. Nigel is one of the really good guys of the BC community and a great person to deal with. Cheers mate! Quote
