yeah if I wanted to finish everything I'd be ordering like $250 in parts to finish 23 pedals. I'm sitting on about $400 - $500 in parts. everytime I place an order I either dont have money to buy everything or I forget something. :mad: :picard:

Is it wrong to gas for that list of 23 pedals? I'm not sure I could name 23 I want... :lol:

It would be cool to be able to build them all yourself too! :thumb:

Just be happy you aren't doing guitars :grumpy: :p :lol: In the last two months I know I've spent at least a G on parts/nonworking stuff... my poor card....

oh I got wenge, maple, mahogany here. the maple I have to let cure. my friend is a lumberjack. I got a huge block of eastern rock maple highly figured for like $60. the mahogany is left over from my mahogany countertop so = free. its the one year of waiting that kills me. parts is going to be more expensive than my fender. I need lots of tools too. I might never build it.

I thought I wanted a new amp for my guitar (since all I have is a 15" bass combo), but then I was able to play outside of a dorm room and heard it at decent volume. I don't want a new amp anymore.

EDIT. pic order and orientation.

new stuff in! So excited! :yay: :joy:
Kuva0643.jpg

McSpunckle effects awesomeness, haven't yet get to test but they're in da haus!
And Aardvarks - real nice OD, awesome on its own for bass, for example.

Mini Gnome br000tz - nasty bright distortzion for über metals. Knobs on face are clean blend, distortion volume and gain, the mini knob on the side is for the scoop and the toggle for gate. Will probably stack gated and blended with AB-Synth + subharmonizer or Bit Mangler or something something something...

older new shit in, two weeks ago or so:
Kuva0647.jpg

Korg Pichblack - with light touch switch mod for smooth and silent operating. Already tested on stage, works SO much better than with the original switch, and wouldn't swap back to the BOSS TU-2.

DOD Gonkulator Modulator FX13 - a broken unit I got from evilbay, for just a bit too much, perhaps, because I can't mend it on my own. :idk: I'll have it fixed and check it out, I used to really like it a lot back then, when it still was in production. This one is the beautiful gold sparkle on indigo, which my phone couldn't capture.

Cost a shitload to ship my Champion Fuzz Unit as well -- he ships UPS, so I also got dinged $45 tax and ass-rapeage when it arrived.
Still a great fuzz, but methinks it's time to use the Spanish post office.
Good deals done with all these guys

WOW - that's pretty much, so was it packed in silver lined styrofoam flakes and whatnot? :lol: I was just thinking since... it seems sturdy built in the pictures but I'm ALWAYS a little shaky when stuff with tubes is mailed.

That should keep you happy for a week.

Nice score; I used a GS 112 for a while. Those Aggie cabs are excellent.
