John is a great resource for the Forum. Glad I got to do a deal with him, look forward to more in the future! The pedal is AWESOME, btw.

Great transaction all around. Great TB’er!

Enjoy that NG3, John. Thanks again!

I enjoyed working with this buyer. It was a smooth, professional transaction. I would definitely do future business!
Thank you

I love all my buyers and sellers on Talkbass. But, John exceeds all expectations when it comes to buying a bass from someone! He has shipped two basses to me and I’ve been speechless both times! I don’t know how he keeps them mint and ships them so perfectly polished and spotless, with a perfect setup! It’s crazy!

Thank you doesn’t cut it... but THANK YOU John!!

Went far beyond what most would to make sure I was happy with the deal. Was very professional and shipped very fast. LeFay bass was exactly as he described and he threw in a nice set of tools. A real diamond for sure.

I posted the following review in the primary sale thread of XNEWYORKA's large collection of basses. It's a bit long, but relevant for anyone considering a purchase from XNEWYORKA:

I am making this post to highlight my very positive experiences buying instruments from XNEWYORKA. The basses and guitars for sale in this listing are a wonderful opportunity for someone in the market for purchasing one of the models available. The care of each instrument has been phenomenal, which can be reassuring to know when buying online without having had the opportunity to play the instrument before purchasing.

I spent an afternoon with XNEWYORKA recently, playing on a majority of the basses that remain for sale. It was like going to a bass museum. All the basses are stored in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment. Many of the basses are in mint or near mint condition. ALL of the basses have been magnificently maintained and serviced. Some of these basses have had hours of work done on them by XNEWYORKA in order to return them to a pristine playing condition. His ability to fine-tune the setup on each bass is as good as any professional master technician.

The superlatives used throughout this thread to describe the basses for sale as well as XNEWYORKA himself are well-deserved. First, he is an incredibly nice guy, approachable, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable about all things related to the bass. Second, he knows these instruments extremely well. Third, his investment of time and expertise in maintaining each bass is a hidden yet significant value-added to each instrument. If you buy one of these basses, you are not only buying the bass; you are buying the expertise of XNEWYORKA to ensure the bass is in the very best condition that it can be. I experienced this as having a professional-level of quality control built right into the sale of each bass. Sure, this quality control is being provided by the seller, but XNEWYORKA’s approach to bass maintenance involves a strong attention to detail that a buyer will benefit from.

In full disclosure, I ended up buying three basses from XNEWYORKA: one for a child (lightweight with a narrow neck for small hands), one for traveling on planes (a lower cost bass to limit my heartbreak if it is damaged or stolen in transit), and one high caliber, professional-level workhorse of a 5-string bass that feels great to play, has fantastic tone, and is a perfect complement to the ’78 Fender P-bass that I’ve been playing since 1981.

Given the substantial number of basses and guitars that XNEWYORKA continues to have listed for sale, I thought I would take a moment to post a review of my experience buying from him. I am really pleased with the bass purchases I made, and I only have positive things to write about my experience of communicating and transacting with XNEWYORKA.

Happy bass playing everyone!

Thank you John for the great bass and communication through the process!!

xnewyorka is truly an asset to the talkbass community. Don't hesitate to work with him!!

Hey thanks. It arrived late Sunday and I just got to spend some time with it. What a nice instrument! Now to put in the work to learn to play it!

John is a true gentleman and avid collector. He put everything ahead of himself in all of his transactions making the exchanges pleasurable and memorable! I hope to buy one or more of John’s amazing collection. Don’t hesitate to work with John and trust that you are getting more than you paid for! Thanks again John!

I am extremely pleased with this bass purchase. I've had the opportunity to practice and gig with this bass since buying it, and appreciate the care and thoughtfulness that XNEWYORKA invested in both the instrument and in educating me about the history of the instrument. I only have positive things to write about my experience of communicating and transacting with XNEWYORKA. A+++++++++++

Thank you very much for a very fine instrument. Appreciate the TLC.

This is our 2nd deal together and like the first this one it was a pleasure. This was a trade plus cash my way and I received my bass and cash quickly and the communication was fantastic throughout. I am sure this will not be our last deal together and I look forward to the next one.

Very trust seller and great person as well/ superlative recommendation/ tanks for all
