Don't forget knobs! If I won the lottery and could go on a pedal building bender - these are what I would be thinking about for bass... PCPB Frequency interchange - awesome sounding high pass/low pass -made one Drebbel Bass Preamp/EQ - clone of Southampton Pedals Ictineo Preamp/EQ Capsize Preamp - Broughton Fliptop Mofeta Preamp is EAE modelFet - I think you have the real thing? Scabbard Overdrive - EAE dagger Byzantium Flanger - BF2 Chop shop -Barbershop, made one, you have to use the right spec J201 for the circuit so not sure about Musikding kits for this. SS/BS mini is similar and IMO better. Curds and Whey Distortion - prunes and custard ... made a load of these on my own PCB, love it! Fornicus Overdrive - SS/BS f- overdrive Obsidius Preamp - DG B3k Simulcast or duocast- hudsonbroadcast Parentheses Mini Fuzz - EQD life Desolate Fuzz - Fairfield unpleasant surprise CheeseMonger Fuzz - love tone big cheese - I built the Aion version... Kewpie Fuzz - Japanese muff varient - probably build one this year Nein Fuzz - Fairfield 900 Phase II/ Duo-Phase - mutron phasers Deflector Reverb - EQD afterneath AION Quartz Optical Compressor - Diamond compressor Spectron - Meatball TS-50 bass preamp Acoustic 360 bass preamp Binary - DG duiality Lab series L4 bass preamp - Pearce sounding thing, it's good, but cheaper to buy mine I'm selling! Neurotron - Lovetone ring stinger Quadratron - Lovetone doppleganger Xenotron - flange with no name Conspiracy to Commit Electronics (sushi box's diy stuff) Bassdude - fender bassman Nobelium - Nobel preamp Particle Accelerator - F2B preamp. Delyk - Up down daddy - Pearl OC7 octave Electric druid - Flangelicious Parasit for drunken guitar synth stuff No PCB that can be bothered to find... but schematics ...

That’s like turning up at a AA meeting with a bottle of single malt

Farsley, so not a million miles from you!

Cheap 2 or 3mm ones from eBay - mole grips to hold and a lump of steel as an anvil. Welcome to come borrow.

Or I’ve got the washer stop in the wrong place on the top of the switch

I like it - it’s wee metal stamps - only took an hour … though I’ve got 0-1–2-cheese upside down 🙃 🤦🏻‍♂️

This is what I did yesterday

Pedal pcb did the original trace and I can vouch for their quality - they also have isolated the ground pours for the different parts of the circuit which five cats don’t seem to have done.

Aion effects boards are good too - really good documentation on their site https://www.musikding.de/TS-50-Bass-Preamp-kit

Buy the kit from Musikding - seriously unless you’re going to be ordering enough to make 6-7 pedals this year Musikding kits work out very good value. (I’ve built this one (ppcb skeptical buffer), it’s good. The ppcb frequency interchange is worth building too)

In fairness to him, him and Scott do also offer a series of courses to improve everyone’s technique… 🤣

Oh I should add I want to avoid building pedals for other ppl, not as fun as building for yourself

I got a big cheese Musikding kit for Christmas - which is exciting. ive got a few other things that I would like to try, but kinda want to do another pcb design and assembly again next year - any ideas what it would be good to do? Last year was the mini prunes and custards - and I ended up selling 9 of them … kinda want to avoid that again, but equally pcb A is expensive if you end up with 9 unused and populated boards! not sure what to make, my guidelines would be interesting on bass not in current production prob not something that I can easily get from Musikding as a kit. I don’t mind developing have mods or tunings for something. one suggestion was a mk2 octabvre which someone has and said I could trace in a non destructive way - would have to work out cap values on breadboard though!

My Mother-in-law got a Musikding kit of Aion's version of a Lovetone Big Cheese. Not sure what it will be like but I saw it on a photo of Colin Greenwood's board and want to try...

It’s smaller than the small one, the small one has soft touch switching and assorted circuitry

Designer for a EV charging network! I think you're a bit better looking and with more hair than me though so it might be noticeable to the rest of the team...

Just for clarity … AI as in artificial intelligence, or Al as in short for Al Krow? On my phone a uppercase i and lowercase L are the same. I mean if Al Krow did come steal my job, it would be, to quote him , a game changer’

Like what would happen if it replaced the cab m and the Siméon and….

It’s all relative to income too isn’t it? I’ve worked on min wage when a Mexican fender was beyond my means, and I’ve had very well paid friends who could drop £5k on a bass if they wanted - but in careers that probably wouldn’t give them the time to play much. Ive known people who have a seperate bass fund and spend out of gig earnings, vs hobby funds vs people on here who buy expensive things they can’t afford on credit … all going to affect what you see as affordable.

Isn't this a slightly odd question due to inflation? If you've not bought basses for a few years then you'll probably be surprised that a new USA fender is just under £2k! Which is only tangentially relevant if I've bought stuff secondhand.

out of interest @BigRedX - as well as getting it to work with your setup - how do you find it sounds?
