RIP Nick, a great guy who I have had the pleasure to do some deals with...

Very sad  news.

Such terribly sad news, RIP Nick, my condolences to his wife and family. My overriding memory of him was how much bass gear he bought and sold, I truly marvelled at it, a true bass man

Super sad news. Had a few chats and deals with Nick. Big love to the family x

I can’t believe this one…… I didn’t know he was ill…… that’s horrific. We met up a couple of times buying and selling, but conversed a lot on here. That’s desperately sad….. 😞

I'd not had any dealings with him here, but we were Farcebook friends and swapped "happy birthday"s and the occasional witticism there. I was very aware of how well loved he was, and he always came across as a really nice bloke. He'd been here so long, he was one of the original fixtures/fittings. It's always sad when a good man goes before his time. I offer my heartfelt condolences to all who knew and loved him. RIP old hoss.

Aww that's sad news - we did the Clackett Lane shuffle on a few occasions. Like me, he had a revolving collection of J basses and a suspicion that Stingrays really were the key to being a proper grown up. 

[Rayman]

I thought I went through some gear, but Nicks revolving door never stopped spinning. I had a fabulous Stingray 5 that was a “keeper” and the “best bass I ever owned”….. until I flogged it to Nick a month later. I think he had it about a week before he sold it on.

What dreadful news. Always enjoyed his contributions on here over the years. Rest in peace, Sir.

Awwww that’s very sad to read. I only met Nick once to do a sale, but he seemed a genuinely nice bloke and player. To me he kinda embodied what Basschat is all about really. 
 

RIP Nick

One of the original, originals.

I read his posts for years and loved following his bass buying (and selling) crusade.

 

A bloody shame.

Very sad to hear That Old Horse Murphy has passed away. I enjoyed his posts and was amused by his tales of insatiable GAS.

[EBS_freak]

Whut?! Nooooooo. Man, gonna miss that guy - was like part of the furniture round these parts.

RIP OHM.

[Willfunk]

It was always such a pleasure to to a see Nick and do deals through the shop, one of those guys that I genuinely really enjoyed chatting to and always had a laugh about his dislike/phobia of red basses. You'll be missed mate

RIP Nick

[Beedster]

Stunned and saddened, only seems five minutes ago I met up with Nick and he kindly invited me and my family to drop by to his house anytime. It was on my to-do list.
 

Sincere condolences to family and friends ❤️

[kodiakblair]

Hellish piece of news.

 

Absolute gem of a man, always willing to help out folk.

 

RIP Nick.

[Jackroadkill]

I didn't know Nick but he was always kind and supportive to me on Basschat.  Reading through these posts it's clear he was a man very much loved.

Very sad to hear this news. Best wishes to all family and friends.
