NJE Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 So I went to bass direct today and it was amazing. Mark was great and spent loads of time chatting and humouring me and my stupid questions and poor bass playing. He is a wealth of knowlege and let me play some amazing basses. It is a great shop, great environment and going and playing these top notch basses really does give you the opportunity to find the right bass for you. I am completely in love with the 5 string maple necked Nordy he has in at the moment, but also was hugely impressed with both the Esh and Skjold basses, oh and the Roscoe and Dingwall (so all of the basses really) He gave me a lot to think about gear wise and along with his guitar tech is going to try and sort out the preamp on my squier jazz V. Just to top it all off I got a great man bag (gig skinz) for my eden head. All I can say is, top shop run by a top chap, thanks Mark.

Doddy Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I got my Bergantino/Genz Benz from Mark. Top bloke selling Top gear. Must take a trip to the new shop soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poptart Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Hi all - I now have free shipping on the Mono and the iGiG bags (I have the very cool tweed bags in stock) ;-) By the way, the Mono has less storage and is slightly slimmer than the iGiG which has more storage and is a little heavier - both are lightweight though.
