An excellent transaction overall. Lots of good communications, from DM to text to phone calls. He shot a custom video (unsolicited) in response to a question I asked! Bass was packed meticulously; a custom paper over the fingerboard was a beautiful touch. Most of all, he clearly went over the instrument with a fine-toothed comb -- actually more like a fine microfiber cloth. He said he wore white cotton gloves to prepare the instrument for packing and I believe it! There was not so much as a single fingerprint anywhere. Sparkling clean!<br />
John did a superb job here, and I would certainly recommend him to anyone considering buying from him. I am pleased as can be with this new instrument.<br />
Thanks, John! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt="" title="Big Grin " />

I got a Lull M5V from John’s collection, was even better than described! Answered all questions, made a demo video and shipped it the next day! Excellent seller!
Fantastic transaction with a great guy. Very knowledgeable about high end basses and fantastic communication throughout. This kind of deal is why I love talkbass. Getting to meet fellow bass enthusiasts who share the same passion that I have. I look forward to continued contact with the buyer and am would gladly buy, sell or trade with him in the future.

John is by far the best Seller I’ve dealt with! He is 100 percent committed to offering you a great service. He gives great descriptions ( including videos) and even pointed out the one little tiny blemish that was on the back of the bass! Buy with confidence! He meticulously packaged the bass for shipping and gave the bass a few adjustments! I couldn’t have asked for a better buying experience (or a better bass!)

This being my first TalkBass Classifieds purchase, I am very happy with this guitar. The transaction was very smooth and only billed the exact shipping cost, which was the icing on the cake. I would definitely recommend and buy from this seller again!

I recently purchased 2 Fender Basses. They are awesome! I had only intended on purchasing 1 but I was shown an unbelievable fender fretless bass that I could not pass on. Thank you for taking the time to explain the basses to me, show me them and tell me all you know about them. You even assisted in setting them up for me. They were exactly as described and you really were a wealth of knowledge. You take excellent care of your basses and it shows in the quality of your instruments. Again, thank you very much. I can't stress that enough.
John has been extremely quick to reply to all communications. Shipping was prompt and payment was painless. The bass arrived very well packaged and in the condition described (when he said like new, he meant it's NEW). The thing about it, that I still can't get over, is that John made me a custom short video of the bass to show the condition and sound. That's just over the top awesome! He's got 60-some basses to sell and it's going to be hard not to grab another one from him. Thanks, John!

Xnewyorka bought both of my Kiesel basses and was super easy to work with! We did the entire deal in a matter of hours!
Don't hesitate to work with him! Another great TBer!
