Last week I bought a bass from Chris. The bass (a Warwick Corvette) is a wonderful instrument and I give him credit for describing it accurately without resorting to all the superlatives that could certainly apply. The price was reasonable. He communicated clearly and was easy to work with, and he shipped the bass quickly despite international complications. The bass was expertly packed and he included some extras after the deal was struck. I'm very happy with the process and love the bass.

I recently found a stunning ACG bass on Basschat. I read some reviews of ACG, watched a really interesting video of their shop (see below). I also read comments about the seller, Bernard Hewitt. Bernard had many favorable comments, so I decided to take the plunge and buy the bass. Bernard was helpful in every way, sending details and excellent photographs of the bass, and describing the process of shipping from the UK to California. The transaction was straight forward thanks to Bernard's help and familiarity with fund transfers, etc. When it came time to ship, Bernard arranged the whole process, set up the pick up, expertly packaged the bass and made everything go smoothly. He even found a shipping price that was much lower than I was able to find. (I'm not very good at this so really appreciated his help.) When the bass arrived it was, in fact, stunning. Not the slightest scratch. It plays beautifully. The electronics are innovative and create a fantastic palette of sound. For more on the bass, check out ACG, Scotland. If you get a chance to work with Bernard you'll find he is a fine man who does a great job. - John
