I've been using Bassment Trader / Chuck for my guitars for a few years know. I am always impressed with his responsive service, communication and very fair prices. He is a great resource right here in Painesville! My guitars always come back sounding better than brand new. Thanks for all your hard work Chuck.

Chuck does excellent work on guitar setups and repairs. He always comes through in a timely manner, especially when I really need him to get me out of a jam. The Laravee acoustic-electric I bought plays and sounds fantastic. The top-coat cracked repair looks great and is holding strong.

I had neglected my electric bass and my acoustic/electric bass for years. I decided to start playing again and brought them to Chuck at bassmenttrader. He did a fantastic job of putting them in ready-to-play condition! I highly recommend him!

Bassment Trader is my go to guy for guitar set ups, cleanings, and minor mods. I am in a band that plays every weekend(and then some) and I wouldn't be able to without Bassment Trader.

Have bought several things from Chuck over the years. Everything is always in impeccable playing condition. Glad I happened to see this latest buy, an acoustic electric bass, before it got snatched up. Oh, btw, Chuck is a great guy too
