|  | Registered User | | | | | Bass NW is a great place to buy a bass from!
I bought a used 55-94 from them one time and a '76 SVT another. I almost ordered a custom Warwick through them recently...
They're great guys to deal with, and great prices.

|  | Registered User | | | | | I buy pretty much all my equipment secondhand, so I've only found something I wanted and could afford at BNW once. But that was about as satisfying as retail shopping gets...really great guys.

| | | | I have also done business with them and they are true pros. They are one of the few retailers who actually update their website every week. |

BTW, I bought both of my Bag Ends and my WT-550 from Evan (3 separate transactions) - BNW is a great store!

Endorsing Artist: Warwick Basses, GHS Strings | | | | | I'll pay attention to where I am posting next time. Thanks for all the replies. I think I am going to go through with the purchase. The guys I spoke to at Bass NW were very professional over the phone. Thanks again for helping settle my nerves and doubts.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Switzerland | | | I bought a bass from Evan and it arrived very quickly. The only downside was that it got delivered on my wife's birthday and she got real excited when the Fedex guy showed up, but quickly got pissed off when she recognized the shape of the box.
Evan has been just great. Thumbs up for BNW!

I got a really nice used Zon and dealt with Evan, great people there and they worked with me to ship out here to Guam with no problems whatsoever. My first choice for any major gear purchases in the future. |

I bought my Berg 112's and Eden WT-550 from Bass NW (Evan) and was totally satisfied with both service, recommendations, and the product. Total pros for sure.

It's not like you're buying from eBay, where there are so many types of possible fraud - this is just a store like any other and in the same way that I'm not getting nervous before going to the local supermarket - I can't imagine having doubts about buying from somewhere like Bass NW or Central etc etc.
