Rob bought my Custom Shop P Bass.  Great communication, super fast payment, and a great guy.  Deal happened very quickly and easily despite us being is different countries. 

Deal with confidence. Thanks Rob! 

pleasure is all mine!   Thx Crawford!   (Relic58  = 58relic, but that's a minor detail  .... 😉

Bought a Fender Custom Shop precision bass from Crawford. The bass was even better than expected , at a very very reasonable price! Crawford is in every inch a true gentleman and the seller you hope he would be. He literally went the extra mile to get the job done.

The bass was delivered in 2 days from Glasgow to the Netherlands, and the packing was bulletproof !

For my next purchase on Basschat, I hope the seller will be another "Crawford". 

Hats off and totally recommended! 

Beautiful !   GLWTS   (won't last long I guess ....)

This is a really helpful thread - thanks Chewie! - and the replies are giving me more confidence to consider couriers.

I’ve currently got a bass for sale on the site where I have referenced I’m not looking at using a courier, but I completely understand that this will limit any interest.

Has anyone used DPD at all (in UK or Europe)? Also, in terms of payment, is it as simple as giving someone UK bank account details and they transfer the funds - or is that a big no-no?! 

Transferwise is fast (money on your bank account within 1 day, and yes IBAN needed), very good interface/user experience and have better rates then say PayPal.

Other good advice already mentioned, use a courier that do the whole job (same company collects as delivers), tracking is easy and up to date.

We used Tranferwise and UPS,  bought a bass here on Basschat a few weeks ago from a Danish guy, and I'm in the Netherlands, very smooth transaction. Btw, very interesting bass you have for sale, so if you ever consider a courier .... 😉 

custom shop team built 2x the price, masterbuilt easily 3x ...

and will players like Tim Lefevbre and Michael League using Moollon extensively, you're in good company

( btw, current order times are  estimated to be about 11 - 12 months )

These basses from Moollon are like a best kept secret!

(I know cause I bought that white Classic J from Powerbas last week ......😉 )

GLWTS!

Hi there lowriders!

This is Rob from the Netherlands.

After lurking for a good year, it was time to step in.

I've been playing guitar for 40+ years, but didn't touch a guitar for at least 8 years.

Decided to start all over again, and made a switch to the bass guitar.

Since a year and a half, I've been following lessons at Scott's Bass Lessons.

Learned an awful lot, thanks tot SBL and a bunch of great teachers.

Sold most of my guitars, and now have a Suhr Classic J, de Gier Soulmate P, and a Sandberg TT4 masterpiece in the stable.

Ampwise,  EichT900 and a Genz Benz shuttle 6.2. Cabwise, Vanderkley 112MNT and a Barefaced One10 .

Thanks for having me here, in this great community!

And all the best in these rough times we're going through.

Rob

thanks for the welcome and yes '58 was a good year

and there is a great 1958 Fender Precision Custom Shop Relic in the for sale section ......

Hi everybody!

Looking after my first bass guitar, so keeping my eyes on the Marketplace everyday
I'm actually a guitar player, played on and off for 30 plus years, but stopped some 5 years ago.
Used to be a gear nut and still have some great guitars collecting dust lately

Learning a lot over here, and as old skool as I am my first bass got to be a J or a P/J.

Thanks for letting me in, and have a great year!
