NoirBass Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Bought his Victor Bailey acoustic bass. A true gent, let me pop round to try it through his rig, a cup of tea and some bass babble later I am now the proud owner of this fine instrument. Its in minty condition and sounds fantastic. He also owns a very fine '63 P bass that Is the lightest and best playing I have tried. Lucky man. To top it all he even gave me a lift back to the station. Thanks again Chris, it was good to meet you. Noir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redstriper Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I bought some 10" drivers from Chris and found him excellent to deal with - honest, reliable and highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilesmdavis Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I bought a PRS guitar this morning from EZ towers. He clearly looks after his kit really well - it is pristine. Even the gig bag is spotless. Was made very welcome, even after my boy tried to dismantle his MP3 player (sorry!) and I'll second the comment about the tea. We had a good old natter and all in all it was a pleasure. Giles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Just bought a Ray34 from Chris, the bass is in really nice condition, thank you! Equally impressive was Chris's (now legendary) hospitality - the Espresso was particularly welcome after a long drive and very good to boot! An absolute Gentleman and a pleasure to deal with.

epiphonesteinberger Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Picked up a superb Tech 21 guitar amp from Chris yesterday. Had the privilege of a tour of the 'ezbass' collection, really excellent 60s Precision you've got there mate! Worth it just to hear Chris nailing some Tony Levin lines on the old Stingray, a perfect cup of tea and a good deal, nice one. BE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryastley Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Bought a Crafter electro acoustic 6 stringer from Chris the other day, in immaculate condition and well set up. Pleasure to do business with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTB Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Just conducted a textbook deal with Chris. The amp was exactly as described and communications were swift. Sadly, I was unable to sample his famous hospitality or ogle his bass collection as I had a nipper with me but I can recommend him as a fine member of the BC community.

Japow Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'm now the proud owner of a pristine Lakland 55-02; courtesy of Chris. Sadly I didn't get to sample the famous tea and coffee (I guess I was too excited and engrossed in bass talk) but the EZ towers is a mere 20 minutes away from me so... Thanks for a superb transaction Chris - I can't wait to try the beast next Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grangur Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Just met Chris for a coffee, chat and he gave me a box of mags. He's a really nice guy. Would be very happy to deal with him on a more "financial footing". Many thanks Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Just trying to keep my feed back current [quote name='goonieman' timestamp='1453556947' post='2960516'] Hi All, I bought this off EZBass - of this forum - a few days ago. Great chap! I'm loving this beauty. Been wanting to try one for ages - but they are quite rare. This was full-on black - but was stripped back to bare wood and lightly varnished. EZBass had a bit of enamel on the top, with a bit of plastic laminate, which I removed. I got over-zealous taking the paint off, which left witness lines. I ended-up having to sand the whole thing back down through the varnish - took ages , even with a sander. I've put some beeswax polish on it now, and I thought I might as well sand the neck down too to remove the roundwound marks and take away the slightly proud and sunk fretline markers (impercetible to some, but you can 'sense' these lines when wiping your hand across - and they do interfere with the 'mwah' too). Anyway, I levelled the neck and wet-sanded from 400-1500, then used T-Cut for a mirror finish, and light coat of lemon oil... I can almost see myself in the neck now! I also re-cut the nut. the factory setup was crazy high. Just silly. Strings are now pretty much on the fretboard, where they should be. Plays wonderfully with the flatwounds. The preamp and pup are very decent to my ears, although it's true that it can be a bit hissy with treble boosted right up (but nobody should go that far anyway really) The ramp is a great bonus. For me, it aids speed and fluidity substantially. Winning! [/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
