Hope I'm wrong. Totally understandable given his past actions. But the design is exactly as I specified (he previously shared a video of him sketching that to my specs), and he'd already sent me photos of the wood stock he received to build it (which I actually should have uploaded when he sent them!🤦🏻♂️). I totally understand everyone's scepticism, because until it's actually completed and in my possession, I share that scepticism. I guess time will tell, but I'll be sure to keep this thread updated. It either ends positively for him, or even worse than it did before. The ball's in his court. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means that everyone following the Letts YouTube channel will see how long Letts takes to fulfil an order, or even to respond to requests for information. Not good for his reputation, but excellent information for punters. On 18/11/2024 at 15:55, EddieG said: It either ends positively for him, or even worse than it did before. The ball's in his court. If Mr Letts doesn't produce a suitable bass this time, it won't just be the ball that's in court..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay tuned.... Yes, because you're not the first he's done this to or the first to expose him in this manner, you're not the second, third or forth. You're probably the 20th or more. You severely underestimate this man's ability to lie and disappoint. Edited 14 hours ago by binky_bass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only following out of utter disbelief and curiosity. I'm following in the forlorn hope that @EddieG will suddenly wake up and gets this shit sorted via a legal coup de grace rather than toying with Letts like a cat with a half dead mouse. Given the outcome is inevitable, and given how it's progressing, I can help feeling a bit sorry for the mouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, can't help thinking this is all just a bit of attention seeking really, or someone trying to prove he can win where everyone else has failed. Either way, I've lost interest so am going to purposefully ignore this thread from now on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misdee Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago (edited) I am a bit mystified why anyone would seek out this chap to build a bass for them. Even if he actually made and delivered the basses as agreed. I can only surmise from his support for Reform UK that, in some way only he knows, it's overweight workshy transgender violent criminals on benefits who arrived illegally in this country by boat that are retarding his progress in building basses and fulfilling his obligations. I'd value one of his instruments at about £200. And that's £200 of someone else's money, it certainly wouldn't be mine.
