[size=3][font=Arial][color=#000000]Best offer or part-ex for a lefty welcome. [/color][/font][/size]
[size=3][font=Arial][color=#000000]Beautifully crafted custom designed 5 string fretless extra long scale fretless by Jon Letts form Letts Basses in 2011. [/color][/font]
[color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]Only selling because I am actually a south-paw but played right for most of my life. In last few years I have been experimenting with playing lefty and finally made the decision to commit completely. [/font][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]It is in mint condition, never been gigged and only been used in the studio to record one album.[/font][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]See the links below to listen. [/font][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Times][url="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/ambush/id648105890"]https://itunes.apple...ush/id648105890[/url][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Times][color=#333333][font=Arial]Practically immaculate cosmetic condition. Barely any ware to fretboard due to lack of playing. Pick up switch connection is a bit temperamental in a couple of the 5 positions. A bit of knob fiddling and it works. Needs a service or switch replacement. I don't want to mess with it before selling. Volume & tone knobs working.[/font][/color][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]Sound is amazing and very versatile. Feel is superb. Well balanced and hangs perfectly. Can really feel the notes vibrating through the body whilst playing. Letts uses only top notch hardware and the pickups are also scatter wound custom. Pick up configuration and overall design began from my own ideas inspired by seeing Jon's basses online with Letts' expertise and style creating this beauty. Visit his website to see the woods and hardware that he uses. [/font][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Times]Pick up settings as follows:[/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Times]1) Bridge single coil - vol 1[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Times]2) 1/2 tapped single coils & 1/2 neck humbucking in series (vol 2)[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Times]3) Bridge + neck in parallel (both vols)[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Times]4) Neck humbucking in parallel (both vols)[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Times]5) Neck humbucker in series (vol 1) [/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Times]Ships with basic hard case. [/font][/color]

[font=Arial][color=#000000]Sell for best offer or part-ex for an equivalent quality lefty (does not have to be 5 string or fretless). I realise that the latter is unlikely as there probably aren't any lefties going righty out there![/color][/font][/size]

[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=3]I am located in Haslemere, Surrey but can also come down to Brighton or meet somewhere equidistant for anyone to view and test out. [/size][/font][/color]

That's right, Tom. They are flats. Thanks for the album complement. I also had the low B custom made direct from Labella on the house. Something to do with the taper at the ball end and where the silk began at the other, I recall. The chap, Eric Cocco VP, was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. For future orders of six minimum, he just said to contact him.
