silverfoxnik Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hi Folks Just done a deal with WishICouldWalk for my Lakland DJ5 (or should I say ex-DJ5) and it was a totally trouble free transaction. He's a great guy to deal with...Not only did he throw in a few extras that I didn't expect, but was really punctual and kept in touch at all times which as had been said before on the Forum, makes all the difference when we're buying/selling/trading our precious hard-earned bass gear! I know WishICouldWalk has some gear up for sale at the moment, so if you're interested in it, rest assured that he's a good person to deal with. Thanks for everything Isaac, especially the hilarious text message and enjoy the Lakland Cheers Nik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishICouldWalk Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I'm loving the bass. Possibly the bass to end all basses? I was going to ask whether the strings had 'Thieves of Sustain' written on the packet, but I cleaned them fast fret and after a couple of hours playing they're heaps better. I think this could be the intrument that inspires me to a new level. It's been a pleasure dealing with you, I'll try to get down to one of your gigs soon.

[/quote] Glad to hear it's what you hoped for! Does fast fret work then - I always thought it was a bit of a con? I'm going to change the pick ups over in the Jazz later today which will be interesting given my luddite knowledge of all things electric...See you soon and hope you managed to rearrange the date!!

WishICouldWalk Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I don't normally use fast fret because I'm not really after a super bright sound and in any case, my fingers seem to get a slight reaction to it. I think due to the DJ not being used much, the strings had a buildup of that slightly sticky dust and the solvent in fast fret got rid of it. Basically, fast fret seems to me to be a solvent that doesn't smell horrible. When changing the pickups, just be really careful when you lift the control plate because I think it's quite easy to break the wire that goes into the preamp - you'll see what I mean - there's a thick wire that goes straight into the circuit and that broke hence the original issue. I'm not sure what Bernie did to fix it. I'm sure it's all fine but dig around with caution. If my memory serves me correctly, either the Fender pickups are a fair bit deeper than the KSD's or it's the other way round - you may have to add or remove foam to get the Fenders to fit properly. RE The date: I don't think she's going anywhere and as you said, man's got to get his priorities straight!

OzMike Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Feedback for a deal just concluded with Isaac - I purchased an EBS Microamp II. He was very easy to deal with and advised me of progress with shipping (which was from the UK to Estonia; extra kudos for being willing to ship to me here). The pedal is just as described, was packaged well, and I couldn't be happier. Thanks Isaac! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Horse Murphy Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) I bought a bass off Isaac who was kind enough to get the bass delivered to me once I'd returned home after Christmas. Excellent communications throughout and a super bass that was even better than described. Highly recommended Edited January 1, 2022 by Old Horse Murphy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Mark Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I bought some Fender machineheads from Isaac on Saturday 24th and they arrived safe and sound (due to the excellent packaging and premium post) this morning Monday 26th. Another top rate trustworthy BC'er. Cheers Isaac. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtcat Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Just bought a gorgeous Jazz bass from Isaac. He made everything super easy and was really acommodating in boxing it up for my courier to collect. Bass was exactly as described and i'm a very happy camper. Top BC'er and I would buy from him again with absolute confidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderthumbs Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Just bought an EBS speaker from Isaac to pair with one I already had. Being in Brighton, he even took it to Bernie Goodfellow's basement to put it through its paces just to make sure there were no cab rattles, etc. He packaged it incredibly well and posted it the following morning. It arrived the next day (luckily I was rehearsing the same night, so took it with me). It sounds fantastic, and all included, it was a great deal. He has been a pleasure to deal with throughout, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone thinking of doing a deal with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
