Ooh! another idea, while we're building amps in our dreams over here.

Take the metal faceplate or grill, have Skully design something, and then have Dan etch it. I would love an amp that looks like my ssstampede.

My pedal in its baby stage, for reference.

Now that would be cool. Heavy as shit, but cool.

Maybe not. Could just make a small-ish faceplate.

Thats true. Guess I was thinking all metal construction. Urp.

RE: bass amp. Just to give you an idea of how much tube amps cost, I put together a 5w amp, recycling the old transformers from a different amp and trading for the shell that it's in and it still cost me $300+. That was with 2 tubes. Add 3 more power tubes, the transformers (larger ones at that), and labor and it'd be more than $500...

i figured as much. $500 was my fantasy price for my fantasy amp haha

But hey, if thats ever something you wanna try, sign me up brudda. I'll pay you in installments. Only 30 easy payments of $49.99!

Hahah

Building amps is fun. The first one I built was really simple. If I ever have the cash to build another one, I'd like to do something a little more complex for myself to see if I can do it

Im hoping to build a little tube amp for a guitar player buddy of mine by christmas this year. I figure 8 months is a pretty realistic time frame. he blew his amp out, and with it, his dreams.
