I can't belive this. I'm waiting for Dingwall to build and send my bass on to the UK and in the meantime I'm without a 5 string fretted bass - it's what I play almost exclusively now. Mike very kindly loaned me a Yamaha 5 string for the duration and heroically found me in Cobham services car park! An absolute hero and gentleman and I can't thank him enough. May have do to a video call with him when I can take him through my box of treasure/junk to see if I can pay him back with any prime bits I'm not using but really he's helped me out a huge amount.

Just bought some DR Black Beauties off Mike, aka @alyctes.

 

Great strings, very fair price, extremely well packed, excellent comms and a great Basschatter to deal with. 

 

Highly, highly recommend - and even more so after reading the fab post above! 

 

Mike exemplifies everything that is good about Basschat... 👍👍

 

Thanks Mike and here's to the next time... 🙏😊

I returned the Yamaha to Mike last week after using it for a couple of months - absolutely can't think him enough. I was pleased to upgrade the loom for him with a KigOn loom as a thank you - Mike, I hope you enjoy the VBT layout a bit more than the previous setup. Cheers!!!

Mike bought some LaBella strings off me after I couldn't get on with them - all went well and I hope you enjoy them!

Mike bought some strings from me (or off me, I can never remember which is correct) and he was a pleasure to deal with. 

Instant payment, great comms, a credit to Basschat. Cheers!

Mike bought a couple of bass bridges from me in what was another perfect transaction. He paid promptly and kindly let me know when the bridges were with him. Thanks Mike!

Mike grabbed a few bits and bobs from my spare draw, quick to pay and quick to confirm receipt, no complaints here, cheers mate!
