jaydentaku Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 is that a disk of ebony on the back of the neck, just below the headstock?
lettsguitars Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Wenge. It was added to make the headstock volute slightly longer. I have the other cover for the humbucker too if that will help with the sale. We just agreed it looked cooler without it. Pickups are I.M.P which are no longer available. Plays and sounds great. The active/passive switch is inside the cavity as Lou never used it. It can easily be placed on the top of the bass though with a 6mm drill bit. Edited January 25, 2013 by lettsguitars
White Cloud Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Oh my word, this very close to what I would want out of a Letts bass (I'm saving for a custom build)....I am so tempted but probably need to show restraint. Beautiful bass.
giblett123 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Great basses, if I wasn't dodging the post Xmas Barclaycard I'd snap it up, worth every penny.
loushort Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 Also a good point is that once you buy a Letts bass you are not only getting home a great instrument you also have the back up and service from the man who built it *Just adding that this bass had a full service from Mr Letts back in November*
jaydentaku Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Buy with confidence from Lou. Lovely guy to deal with
JensWest Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 [quote name='davewarwickbass' timestamp='1359807636' post='1960538'] Where are you based? [/quote] My guess is Dullsville, Northamptonshire.
andydye Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 The pics have stopped showing for me, this may be hamstringing progress as regards a sale?
