NoirBass Posted January 10, 2010 Share 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.

markorbit Posted July 3, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted February 1, 2011 Share 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!!

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!

thatgrantboy Posted March 26, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eubassix Posted April 2, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomBass Posted September 7, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted October 30, 2011 Share 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!

loudandclear Posted October 30, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
