Rowbee Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 What more can I say. Martin is a Basschat legend! Great guy, but you all know that anyway. Oh, and he bought my Ashdown t-shirt in a smooth as silk deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witterth Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 (edited) Well... what can I say? MB1 WHAT A GUY!! I bought a great peice of kit of him today. Something I asked him for first refusal on, if he got one, a long time ago. and he prooved to be a man of his word, and now I HAVE a jay dee mark king supernatural II in level 42 colour(s)red,Something I've that I have wanted/dreamt of since I was 18 years of age,and thats a LONG time since. He had allways said he'd find one and understandably when he had, wasn't that keen to part with it,but a lot of begging ( I'll be honest! ) I turned him round on it. The thing is, that in my opnion ,makes him a real gentelman, and that Ive botherd to write is the fact he KNEW how much I wanted this guitar, and didnt use it as an opportunity to "do business" or for want of a better way of putting it,shaft me. MB1 treated me like the fan and enthusiast I am,and I'm eternally grateful for this quite selfless attitude. without over doing the praise thing /thanks I should also mention he also took me to a good gear shop and used his influence/contact so I could hear the JD at gig volume! and that even showed a tiny niggle with string heights that I now know how to sort out. if you're buying or selling from this guy I'd 100% reccomend him. As I sit pleased with my new purchace, I'm wiping a nostalgic, lost youth, tear from my eye (honest!)& Im happy to give MB1 the most sincere 100%positive feed back. MB1 I'm a happier man tonight, may the road rise to meet you! Edit: "Done many a deal with martin over the years but I ain't gonna get all soft over it We drinkin beer at Bass Day matey?" not being "soft" as you put it, just genuine.... Witterth P.S. his Mrs does a mean line in her own original Paintings too!! P.P.S. he wasnt wearing shades at any point Edited January 10, 2010 by witterth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ou7shined Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I bought a Stingray p/g off Martin. Like a champ he wrapped all up it in cardboard and sent it off before his cheque even arrived. Top banana! Cheers. Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozbass Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Another great case deal with Martin (in Sainsbury's carpark) - superb basschatter and the backbone of our humble chatting community. Deal with utmost confidence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelk27 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Purchased a couple of sets of DR Lo-Riders from Martin, and got a free set of APII bridge saddles. (Not as crazed a free gift as it may at first sound, as I'd been looking for APII SB saddles.) Fast, efficient, and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.

Schnozzalee Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Martin just did a trade with my father today for my Ashdown Superfly, the old man said he was a true gent and a pleasure to deal with. He provided me with loads of photos of the traded bass and was quick with PMs etc even made the journey to the front door to collect it! Would love to do a deal again and wouldn't think twice about it! Hope you enjoy the superfly m8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
