It was a total pleasure dealing with @spector_boogie . Prompt and friendly, quick payment, and great follow-through. He is an asset to TB. Thanks Reagan, enjoy the pedal!
I could not be happier -- this transaction went as smooth as could possibly be.
The bass was shipped within a day, and was packed to survive a fall from 30,000 feet without a parachute. Not kidding - the bass itself was wrapped with bubble wrap taped with military precision inside of the gig bag, and then the gig bag was also similarly wrapped in bubble wrap, a reflection of how much she loved and babied the instrument, which arrived in 99.5% brand new condition. The seller's communication through the process was beyond outstanding, and she took the time to make multiple videos demonstrating the bass with various tone control settings that I requested to hear. What a sport!
I would go out of my way to buy another bass from @77stingray if the opportunity arises.
This was my second transaction with @JEDI BASS, and both transactions were equally as smooth as silk. I would be delighted to have an opportunity to deal with Joseph again. He has great taste in basses, and he went out of his way to make both of our transactions smooth, fair and easy. THANKS!!!
It was a total pleasure working with Rich to get him a fantastic new (to him) bass. He is clearly a serious pro-level player who knows exactly what he wants, the best kind of person to work with. He demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, honesty and integrity at every step of the transaction, and I would welcome the opportunity to transact with him again.
Thanks Rich, enjoy your new LeFay!
I cannot even think of strong enough words to describe how awesome this seller is!
Purchased a very high end bass from him, and not only was it exactly as described, but it was packed well enough to survive any sort of torture the UPS man might try to inflict upon the package. It arrived in FLAWLESS condition, exactly the same as if buying it brand new, including tools, paperwork and other case candy, etc. It had a museum grade leather gig bag which was also in 100% mint as-new condition, not a mark on it.
His communication throughout the process was honest, clear, prompt, professional, and friendly - a total pleasure to deal with.
In summary, I would definitely go out of my way to buy from @idoker again.
He is an asset to the TB community!
Had a delightful experience working with Isa to get him a new bass and two new pedals. His communication was excellent - always friendly, prompt and thorough.
Would be delighted to work with him again.
Thanks!!
Premium boutique bass was in beautiful condition, exactly as described, and packed extremely well.
Seller was a total pleasure to work with. Would buy from him again for sure.
Great communication, shipped fast, and he is an amazing bassist as well.
Thanks for the smooth-as-silk transaction!!!!
It was a total pleasure working with Joe to help him get a great new bass that he will really enjoy. I hope to have the opportunity to do business with him again.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - AAA+++
I was initially a little nervous about working with an overseas buyer on such a high value transaction, but it went perfectly smoothly. It was a pleasure working with Igor, and I'd be happy to work with him again!
First class transaction all the way. Same experience as buying new. Seller was beyond excellent in his communication. Exceeded expectations by a factor of two or three. Have no hesitations!
It was a real pleasure meeting @Spiky_Bassist in person for the sale.
He came to my home, he tried a few basses and a couple amps, we had a nice friendly chat, and he left with a fantastic Dingwall that his wife approves of, and my wife was happy to see one more bass leave the house. Happy wives, happy lives!
Enjoy that awesome Dingwall sixer!!
Choose any superlative: fantastic, wonderful, awesome, amazing, incredible,etc. They all apply here. But if I had to pick ONE word that sums up this seller, it would be: HONEST. He listed a bass that was 5 years old and described it as like new. That can mean different things to different people, but he and I have the same definition for that term. He was NOT KIDDING, it literally looks like it was built yesterday, and tested for maybe 15 minutes. He even fully wrapped the hardshell case in bubble wrap so it wouldn't rub against the inside of the cardboard box. All the case candy looked like Ken Smith himself placed it into the case. The bass even SMELLS new. The seller said it was stored all these years under climate control. The evidence clearly supports that claim.
We initially connected because we were going to do a trade, but then his circumstances became such that he preferred a sale, and I was already too excited about getting this bass to let it go, so I decided to just purchase it instead, even though I am actively in the mode of trying to SELL about 60 basses. But this one is a keeper, and I feel incredibly lucky to have it.
In summary, I would definitely go out of my way to buy from this seller again.
THANK YOU!
My first non-bass sale on TalkBass was a smooth-as-silk transaction.
It's always a pleasure to work with a friendly buyer who is a great communicator and who knows exactly what he wants.
Enjoy that awesome guitar Jason!
Total joy working with Ryan on this transaction.
Prompt and crystal clear emails, instant payment, friendly follow-through, and just an all-around good guy. Would be delighted to work with him again!
It was an honor and a pleasure meeting Paul in person and delivering to him his new "forever" Jazz bass.
To our mutual surprise and delight, he fell in love with a Fender Tony Franklin Fretless at the same time and took that one home with him as well.
What a trooper, he didn't want to wait for shipping so he took a 5+ hour road trip to pick them in person. Now that's dedication!
Enjoy those fantastic basses Paul, you picked two winners!
