33" Letts Bass

[Dr Chocolate]

Just laid my deposit after discussing options with Jon

33 inch scale
4 string Fretless with a Set neck
Macassar Top
Ebony fb with quarter lines
Wooden bridge
Aguillar OBP3 preamp


Really digging the scroll shaped cut


Very excited like a small child waiting for Christmas!

Another beauty to watch as it grows!!

[Dr Chocolate]

Oh Yes, Jon doesn't mess about, already sourced the top and fingerboard.

Check It!!

Yes he's making some lovely looking basses, looking forward to seeing them all finished.

This one is going to be a real looker, love the top and that scroll, mines not far off either all exciting times!

Very nice mate!
Scroll basses rock, as do 33"ers.
Going to be watching this one closely

A lot of love out there for the 33" at the mo, I've not tried one but I'm really tempted.

[Dr Chocolate]

Yes the 33" are lovely, I'm not exactly 6ft but there's no big finger stretching and it just feels so natural. If you're ever coming past Grimsby (it's a bit like Paris if you've never been), your more than welcome to come and have a play

[giblett123]

Like paris?? Really? I've never been!

[Dr Chocolate]

No not really it's rubbish and it smells.

Although you can always get decent fish and chips

[lettsguitars]

Aah, it's you!

Yes they found me... It's Jim from Grimsby, hiding in my bedroom with some basses and a laptop.
(Hiding from the kids that is)!

Haha.
I shouldn't complain, I could be in Immingham and that just smells, no chips and not even a football team!
