Thanks.

I ran my bass, a schecter, through the El Jefe. Wasn't half bad and worked pretty decent.

What did you use to build yours?

Just a little wood box i found. Breadboarded a simple distortion circuit powered by a 9v battery. A small 2 inch speaker. Works fairly decently. Now I ha e a 50 cal ammo can that I cut two speaker holes in and now working on the electronics for a bass amp.

My current obsession/project is I am trying to figure out how to construct a travel guitar where the fretboard is composed of hollow sections that can retract into the body of the guitar in order to travel. I have a tension bar mechanism prototypesd for the strings. Just trying to figure out the guitar neck.

Don't judge my soldering skills...

Pretty nifty. I've got a kid that might like one.
I bet his roommate would buy it for him.

I've got two built right now one that's strictly running on a 9v battery and another that'll run on a battery as well as a 9v power supply (same as you'd use for a guitar pedal). They are both super basic and rely on the instrument for volume control. Hit me up if there's any interest.
