WARNING: Jon Letts/Letts Basses
- Thread starter EddieG
- Start date
I've just registered to ask: are there any updates on this? Having read through the thread, I was thinking that by the time I got to the end there would be a resolution. But, not yet.
Last posted here: no, he is allegedly working on the bass. No formal update of yet. But Eddie is fairly active here. He can give more detail.
It's been a month since the last update. So, I wondered if there had been any progress. Up above it looked as if progress had been made on the replacement bass. So, that looks slightly hopeful.
Abandon all hope ye who enter here
In this case, time is best measured not in months but in decades.
Assuming he is going to finish the instrument…I would guess by the middle/end of next year at this pace.
Last pictures seemed to show the bass in an assembled condition, but I’m assuming there’s finish, pickups, and more nonsense that will drag this on.
Again, assuming the instrument will be finished.
And the unspoken: will this be to Eddies parameters

Hey, thanks for the interest and welcome to Talkbass.
Oddly enough, after my last update here Jon Letts emailed me the following day, with photos of the instrument. This is one I didn't previously have to post, showing the front.
To answer Why Nautilus's question on spec, some of the more astute on TB will notice the body shape resembles another manufacturer well known for their singlecuts. This was specifically requested by me for a number of reasons. The woods, scale length, and construction were all specified by me, and up till now Jon has adhered to these pretty accurately.
And in regards to the bass completion, while I've been a little preoccupied recently I'm going to email Jon Letts today to find out what the time scale is on completion now, because it can't be much longer.
I'll keep this thread updated on developments.
Kinda quiet round here. I wonder what could possibly have gone wrong...
Satisfied customers rarely bother to post about it online, compared to dissatisfied customers, who loudly raise the alarm.
Cleary the silence means it all turned out great in the end.
He’s probably been so busy playing his awesome John Letts bass that he forgot to post about it
Yeah, that makes total sense. I mean after all these posts trying to convince us that everything was under control and his master plan was coming together, it makes total sense that when he finally acheives his goal that he say diddly squat about it....
Hey, is there any word on the bass yet… ?
I canny wait to see what Leicestershire’s most racist luthier has come up with this time
