andydye Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) [s]Kind of a feeler in that I love this bass and it plays really really nicely, I'd just kinda like it to be a slightly shorter scale so it's easier to switch between this and my ACG...that's the only reason for sale! Spec: Macassar ebony fingerboard, AAA flame maple top, Honduras mahogany/wenge neck and body, MM pickup Passive Vol/Tone 35" scale Sound: Perfect fretless! excellent 'mwah' and superbly punchy mids, this is a brilliant bass, the low b is top notch and the high c is very pleasingly matched volume wise to the rest, very sweet indeed! Feel: It's so light you almost forget you're wearing it! I'll weigh it tonight to find out but I've never held so light a bass!! Pics: [media]http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/sets/72157631997960244/[/media] Teeny issue: There's a slight manufacturing issue with the fret markers on the fingerboard above the octave where Jon ever so slightly cut the slots too long for the inlays, he was very apologetic about it and you can in no way feel them when playing, or in fact even see them unless it's pointed out to you! That's why it's so cheap!! There are no other issues with this bass, it's in precisely the same condition as when it left Jon's garage/workshop! I will be ordering another Letts to replace this and it will have virtually the same spec (apart from the scale length) [b]£400 collected[/b] It will have a decent gig-bag when it leaves me.[/s] Edited March 14, 2013 by andydye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sausage Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I can't believe it. I would have snapped this had it been on a month ago. I just spent £400 on a bass and am now skint. Gutted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethFlatlands Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 As it's a 10 minute walk from my house, it seems rude not to go and try it out. I just wonder how my tiny girly hands will cope with a 6 string.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
