NoirBass Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Just popped over to Cardiff for a lovely cup of tea and a chat with Simon and walked away with a fantastic Valenti P bass. Result! Simon was very easy to deal with and was very helpful in changing viewing dates due to my last minute gigs. I couldn't help but have a go on his rather wonderful Shuker P though, might have started an immediate fresh GAS attack. here we go again! Thanks again Si, really pleased with the Valenti, I'll keep you posted how i get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyg Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Awesome chap to buy from. I had only been on the forum a few days and he sold me an awesome little amp (Hartke A100), just what i was looking for. Got it sorted and posted to me. Beats any evilbay transaction i've done.
