giblett123 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Morning all! here we have my Letts custom 6'er; the bass was custom built for me and is just a couple of months old, it is a thing of absolute beauty but alas my "hobby horse" technique is just not up to playing this many strings, it is a beast and is totally wasted on me (it seemed like a good idea at the time)! so I'm looking to move on or trade for something more suited to my playing. [b]Specs are:[/b] Alder body with camphor burl top and mahogany back 7 piece neck thru of wenge and padauk Ebony board with camphor block inlays, evo gold fret wire 2 x single coil pups with camphor burl covers Hipshot type A bridge and hipshot ultralite tuners East 3 band preamp Comes in a v clean Protech bag Tips the scales at around the 9lb mark (Me perched on bathroom scales so as accurate as I can get it)! [b]Condition:[/b] is A1, no dings, nicks or wear of any description, ungigged, it is as new. [b]Price:[/b] i'm looking for £850, Jon did me a great price on it so i'm passing that on, I may entertain an offer if it is sensible so feel free to ask. [b]Trades[/b]? I am will to entertain trades on this... something "fenderesque"... 4's or 5's J's or P's, anything else? feel free to ask but please don't be offended if it's not my cup of tea! I can put some cash in a deal if needed. [b]Shipping:[/b] I'm happy to ship it wherever you like but the buyer foots the bill for this, I would want to ship fully insured and I'm happy to get quotes on this (not normally too expensive). [b]Pics:[/b] [url="http://s1294.photobucket.com/user/giblett123bass/library/Letts%206%20build?sort=3&page=1"]http://s1294.photobu...d?sort=3&page=1[/url] I Will be adding more pics to the diary over the next day or so. Thanks for looking! Chris.

arpi Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hello, could you tell me the weight, scale and the string spacing at the bridge? Would you ship to Germany? Cheers Arpi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giblett123 Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hi Arpi, Its a 34" scale with 17.5mm spacing, weight wise its round the 9-9 1/2 pound mark, me standing on the bathroom scales is the most accurate measure I have I'm afraid. Shipping? Yes, I'm happy to ship overseas at buyers expense, within the EU it's not normally too expensive but I would want to ship fully insured, I'd also need to get quotes for the cost which I can get back to you.
