JakeBrownBass Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 The owners on these forums. His names Phil if i remember correctly. He's good friends with a lot of guys on here. Tom Kent is a demo tester for them. They're quite popular here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) I've bought and sold basses through them & become good friends with Phil the owner. The big advantage for me in selling basses via BassGear is that Phil has quite a few overseas customers & he handles all the international payment & shipping stuff. I think some of my basses have gone to France, Austria, Scandinavia etc. They moved location a few months back & now just 20 minutes from my house which is brilliant - I can't keep away from the place, lol. The new location is right next to Twyford mainline station too if you want to get there by train Edited November 12, 2011 by molan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 +1 to all the above. Phil is definitely one of the good guys. Deal with confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykesbass Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Popped in to Bass Gear today - had three meetings in Oxford and the middle one blew me out so I had a couple of hours to kill. Vic obviously has taken on board everything that has been said on here about Phil, before he even asked if there was anything I wanted to buy he made me a cuppa! Had a good chat and then tried a couple of heads, very keen on one (possibly the cheapest in the shop) and will return with my bass to try it in a couple of months. Really refreshing to see no pressure whatsoever, no worries that I wasn't here to buy on the spot. Oh, and as I play five string fretless, the bass I was given to try the amp was a £4,000 F Bass! Top shop, and two absolute gentlemen. Will be back when the money is in the bank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I'm covering on Saturday if anyone fancies popping in Great place to come and just try a few seriously nice basses with free coffee & biscuits thrown in for good measure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottomE Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 WTF is Twyford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftybassman392 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I met Phil at the recent Lefty Bass Bash. Although not lefthanded himself he's a big advocate for Lefties. If I knew nothing else about him that would be enough for me. He recently sold one of my basses for me, and got me an excellent price too (over £100 more than I asked for - without a peep - on here). Deal with complete confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Ah ha - I wondered who's bass that was I sold it last Saturday for you. Bit embarrassing initially as I knew nothing about Regenerate basses so I had to zoom off and Google them like crazy. I know a decent amount about most of the stock but because I really can't play left handed I hadn't actually picked this one up I am now a minor expert on Rod & his basses Did you know yours was one of the very first lefties that he made? Now gone o a very good home down in the West Country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
