CHRISDABASS Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Hey Just thought i should share this with you lot! Ive spent ages trying to find somewhere that stocks good quality gig bags!! most of the places i called up seemed like they really couldnt be bothered to help me, so of course these other shops didnt get my hard earned cash!! I then checked out Bass Direct's website! They seemed to have exactly what i was looking for (and so much more) so i called them up on Friday to buy a new Mono gig bag, had a little chat with a thoroughly nice bloke who answered all my questions, dealt with everything very professionally and seem very enthusiastic about all things bass!! This is how it should be! Great shop that's really doing the bass side of things properly and is run by people who actually care about their customers Im sure a lot of you are already aware of Bass Direct but for those of you who aren't check them out when your next in need of anything bass related [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Home.html"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_sp...lists/Home.html[/url] Hopefully i'll get chance to visit the shop one day (its 150 miles away) Quote
OldGit Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Mark's great and an affiliate on here too... PM him and he may even give you a few quid off [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=46"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=46[/url] Quote
Clarky Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 I got a Mono gigbag off Mark at BassDirect. Very friendly service and a truly excellent piece of kit (a sort of semi-hard case, which is light enough to carry on the London Underground) Quote
Shockwave Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Marks fantastic to deal with, got the Musicman Stingray fretless from him, pity i didnt seem to like the bass as much! haha. Rob. Quote
51m0n Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Mark is an exceptional chap. His shop is so good that even at 147 miles from me, his is the shop I prefer to go to. Big warning though, take your credit card and be prepared to come out a couple of hours later with a bemused grin a superb new toy and some explaining to do Its totally expected for me that Mark should go the exact same extra mile service-wise for someone looking for a gigbag as much as he does for someone looking to spend big bucks on a new bass or rig. His after sales service is exemplary too. Quote
Hot Tub Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 +1 Top chap, exceptional shop. It's only about half a mile from my house. Anyone going there, pop me a pm and I'll get the kettle on! Quote
7string Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 I've been in contact with Bass Direct about some stuff and they've been great. As soon as I have the cash, I'll be back on to them. Shame life gets in the way sometimes..... Quote
Doddy Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Mark's great to deal with-I bought my Genz Benz/Bergantino rig from him about 18 months ago. Top bloke selling top gear. Quote
chris_b Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Mark's a great guy, except, I went to buy one Bergantino cab and he managed to sell me two!!! Just like that! Quote
tredders Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Yeah, I posted a similar story in another thread. Really good service, and a chap who is obviously very passionate about what he does. Interesting parallel with the 'experiences in Denmark Street' thread elsewhere... Quote
wombatboter Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Great chap to deal with...send him an email for some information and he took the time to send one back with every information I needed. Excellent ! Quote
Pete Academy Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Bought my Roscoe from him - his first sale of one. My emails and phone calls prior to the sale were dealt with in a friendly and efficient way. Highly recommended...and a thoroughly nice chap, too Quote
OldGit Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 [quote name='Tait' post='585970' date='Aug 31 2009, 07:23 PM']where are the fenders? [/quote] On his yacht Quote
ahpook Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 just to throw my plus the one into the mix. mark's a top chap to deal with. Quote
Raggy Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Have bought a fair bit of bass gear from Mark, great to deal with, just speaking to him you can tell he loves all things bass. Quote
GreeneKing Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 +1 on all the above, has great gear choice too, visit website with care Quote
sk8 Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 its a great place to visit and the cafe next door does a great fry up Quote
Mike Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I had a terrible experience with Bass Direct. Ordered a TC Electronic gigbag, and was advised that due to a holiday it wouldn't be shipped for over a week. Pretty much received it the next day with excellent comms, for a good price, and couldnt be happier. Oh...wait....... Actually, one criticism - why is it not catproof? My cats love scratching it to bits! Quote
