Did you buy anything from the stratosphere my friend? The ebay fender body and neck dealer?

I've had 2 jazzes before, and dug them. But GAS always got the better of me and I sold them to fund other things. Maybe if I custom make one, it will be a keeper....maybe

Thoughts on this? Lake Placid Blue or CAR body from ebay (off the stratosphere probably) Warmoth Tele bass neck with rosewood board Wizard Pickups Schaller tuners Gotoh 201 bridge Any tips, advice, 'don't do it'!!!'s, or general statements?? I already have a Gibson g-3, but the jazz seems to be luring me for some reason.

Bumping this to see if the vt1 kits are still available, and to any builders out there...how was it?

I just built a Muff from www.generalguitargadgets.com Bit cheaper then BYOC, and works great. I had/have no experince of making pedals either, but I just took ym time and worked first time! Guess I was lucky, but it's good fun messing around and having something cool sounding at the end. Good luck in your quest young padawan. I got most of my equipment off ebay for like £2-3 i .e pliers, solder sucker etc

pablo - so did you just sand the box then 3 coats of colour? I was looking at dsanding, primer, colour, clear, but it all seems such a ballache to me. Plus I'm not after a really pro job. Not to say yours doesn't look pro!! it looks sweet

Hello friends, today I finished a General Guitar Gadgets Big Muff. I went with the Green Sovtek version as I had an original last year, but had to sell it. Needless to say, this sounds awesome, still got that great grunting muff tone I love! No clips before anyone asks Was a pretty easy build, but took me a while due to it being ym first one. It's 'natural' not, but I may paint it a nice pastel green next month. Enjoy... It all goes through this setup, got that orange combo last week too, sounds amazing for the size. W00t¬! P.S Special thanks to Bremen who helped me source some missing caps! I owe you a beer!

I'd defo be interested in an EQ and headphone amp

When I got a green muff from america, i owed £24 in charges and the guy just wrote on the box 'don't worry about it'. Got a letter a few days later saying i owed them, but ignored it! nada problemo! enjoy your pedals, that filter looks great

How awesome is this bassline?? I ask you!? I can't stop playing it, pretty easy to play, fun song, good times! It's really rekindled my love of bass lines as opposed to GASsing over awesome fuzzes and synths! I think this and 'I want you back' by the jacksons are my favourite bass lines to play. Anyone for anymore?

both those p's look great. I'm a sucker for black, maple and tort though

Why?? Why do I want every single one of these!!
