Marvin Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I never had much interaction with Martin on here, however MB1 was always a poster I looked out for. Such sad news. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Always sad when a kindred spirit passes, and too young. Condolences to his family. Rest in peace MB1 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martthebass Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Truly sad, one of the good guys. Whenever I look at the little Union Jack stickers on the back of my MarkBass cabs I’ll think of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 That is incredibly sad. He only last week bought some books from me. I met him at Manchester railway station a few years ago, he bought something from me and we had coffee, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Only just seen this. As someone who has done minimal buying and selling here I didn't have a lot of direct dealings with Martin but was aware he'd been a moderator for a long time. My condolences to his family and friends both within our community and beyond. RIP MB1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Such sad news. Martin was one of the truly iconic Basschat members. I will remember him as a great bloke and always a pleasure to deal with. I was one of many who had either bought from or sold gear to Martin over the years. I'll miss seeing him around here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Mark Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I never met Martin but his character shone through Basschat such that we all knew him. So so sad. RIP Martin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balcro Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 He went and got his coat. MB1 has left the building. RIP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Beautiful words, guys. I did not know Martin (I rarely buy or sell gear 😊) but he sounds like a diamond. It is always sad when we lose one of our own. Condolences to his family and to those amongst you who did know and love him.

petecarlton Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I had no dealings at all with Martin, but Ped's eulogy and some of the comments on here have made me realise what I missed out on. Thank you for that, guys, and my thoughts are with his family and friends, who could surely have expected to be with him for a great deal longer. Very sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 This is not the first BC who has gone to the great gig in the sky but I can't recall if we, as a forum, have ever sent flowers, etc to the funeral. I'd be happy to contribute - I'm sure if we all contributed £1 we could send a sizeable wreath. Anybody else? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lovely idea, but worth checking with the family if they’re happy to receive a wreath or flowers (some don’t like floral tributes, especially wreaths). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duarte Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Sad to hear this news. MB1 was indeed kind and forgiving, and at times baffling. It always felt like he had my back. RIP, basschat legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
