Perry deserves a raise!

Here's my story with Bass Central:

Email Bass Central to see what EBMM SR5's are in stock.
Receive an email from Perry within an hour.
I see a Stingray 5 HS PDN available.
Email back to confirm it isn't sold (I swear I called two weeks earlier and they were).
Perry confirms it is available.
Ask a couple of questions.
Perry answers them.
Ask for pictures.
Perry sends them.
Send payment.
Received invoice.
Did a happy dance.
Bass was received in two days!
Did another happy dance!

BTW all this transpired in a very short window. Excellent customer service!

Still getting to "know" her. The initial impressions are quite good though.

I'll be posting a review in the next day or two, Tuna. Thanks for the push to pull the trigger on one of these PDN's!

Thanks for the great comments about Perry. I (web guy) will make sure that the boss (Beaver) and Perry know that you're very pleased with the service and instrument!

Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with!

Have to agree, Perry is great! He has answered all of my numerous emails promptly. Because of his great customer service, I'm about to pull the trigger on a new Skyline 44-02 Deluxe Natural.

I've been a customer of BC since 2001, and they've always done right by me. Gard was my man there until he went to Roscoe Guitars.

But Perry and Mike are great guys too. Perry was the primary person who helped me when I got my Bergantino CN-212 recently. They always make me feel at home.

Thanks guys!

And you can forward high praise to the "powers that be" at Bass Central for Grasshopper. He was 100% on the ball and got my instrument to me in an, ultra fast, fashion.
