NoirBass Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Bought his Variax 700 bass. It was in almost mint condition for a great price. He was very helpful and let me try it out surrounded by his mouthwatering collection of vintage bass amps. Great guy to deal with, a welcome addition to the forum. Noir Quote
bassmeg Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 Ive had a couple of dealings with Mike. Beware, he is a very nice man with a great selection of basses and a huge trace all valve thingy!!! BTW, i bought the Aria, and WOW! Quote
markorbit Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 It's dangerous to have a bass conversation with Mike. Top man! He now owns my Ampeg V4B. It's gone to a good home. Quote

Paul S Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Mike got in touch with me after I broadcast a plea for a Trace Elliot 12 band footswitch - which he offered to me for a really fair price considering it is unlikely either of us will ever see another! It arrived packaged well enough to withstand a direct missile strike - even Royal Mail! - and was padded out using rocking horse sh!t and hen's teeth. As trouble-free and smooth a transaction as you could possibly wish for. It has been a pleasure doing business with you, sir - cheers!! Quote

Thanks Mike,[/quote] +1 Sold a TC Electronic pre-amp to Mike tonight and he was brilliant to deal with! Really knows his stuff and is a real gent! Hope to see you again Mike..perhaps at the Littlehampton mini-bash in a month or two? You can bring down some of that amazing gear you have so the rest of us can just drool! All the best Nik Quote
thatgrantboy Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Only just got round to doing this, but I recently bought a hand-built empty 15" bass cab off Mike, and he couldnt have been more helpful with arranging and posting/collecting everything. Was a pleasure to deal with him. Quote
eubassix Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Massive vote of THANKS to Mike, who took time and patience to arrange collection and delivery for a bass from the W.Sussex area. Great communication throughout and the bass was packaged with a lot of thought & care, and the right materials. Brilliant ! Quote
RandomBass Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 My Ampeg PF500 has found a new loving owner in Chimike. A great, and interesting, guy to deal with. Cheers Geoff Quote
warwickhunt Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Absolute pleasure to deal with and his Aria bass couldn't have been better packaged for delivery... and I mean that it literally could NOT have been packed better by anyone; a bomb-proof box custom built to ship the bass! Quote
loudandclear Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Sold my Mesa 2x15 cab to Mike and despite a few issues along the way (from my side only) Mike was an absolute Gent to deal with , open honest and communicative and a real pleasure to do business with, he's a real credit to the forum and I would recommend any body to deal with him with confidence cheers Terry Quote
whizzzy Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Another deal done with no problems - quick payment and good communication, welcome back any time - thanks Mike Cheers, Colin Quote
High5bass Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 [sub]Just catching up on long overdue feedback - I bought Mike's SVT350 a while back. Great guy, very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. [/sub] Quote
whizzzy Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Mike bought a pair of cabs from me. Drove up as promised and paid upfront. Had a good old bass related chinwag. Great guy to deal with, highly recommended and I can only echo the comments made in previous posts.[/font][/color] Quote
kdubb24 Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Even though we're a country apart (I'm in Germany), I just completed a super fast and easy transaction with Chimike for an EMG pickup set even trade through the mail. Super guy...highly recommended. kdubb24 Edited November 24, 2012 by kdubb24 Quote
stinson Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Mike bought a P bass body from me, super swift payment and a top man to boot Quote
cd_david Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Met Mike today to sell him my Acoustic cab, what genuinely lovely bloke, another fine member of BC and a complete gear squirrel like myself. Thanks Mike Dave Quote
davehux Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Swapped a Markbass for an Orange with Mike Easier than an easy thing. Amp in mint condition. Very happy Quote

Apothem Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Mike bought my GB Goodfellow. We had a deal immediately and he kept his word without problems. Also he replied swiftly to messages. I would not hesitate a second to deal again with Mike in the future. Thanks Mike! Claudio Quote
ShaunB Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Mike came over last night for a cup of tea (and to collect his PA speakers) - lovely chap, highly recommended - enjoy! Quote
whizzzy Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Sold a mixing desk to Mike. He is always a pleasure to meet and chat about all things bass related. A more genuine guy you couldn't wish to meet and is a real credit to the BC fraternity. Thanks again Mike. Quote
