Username skullservant on ilovefuzz.com. Not sure if he's taking orders now or not, but probably doesn't hurt to ask. say you want a Bass Rat like "gardenofthedead's". Will cost $120 (more if you don't want a plain grey enclosure).

Lummer: Nice strat! I believe you are correct, it can kick my strat's ass.
Radical AC: I taught myself how to solder so I could do DIY pedal builds, but I haven't done one yet. I'm nervous about building something then not liking it. There is basically zero resale value on a DIY pedal, because nobody trusts some random guy with an iron. Take that into account when deciding to build or buy.

Unless you're buying red-dot NKT275 transistors that have residue of Hendrix's semen on them, how much money could you possibly lose? Components are cheap as hell.
And yeah, you're gonna make stuff you don't like. You learn by fucking up and knowing what not to fuck up next time.
Kwaping:
Yeah, but 98% of the time, DIYers are talking about pedal kits and not sourcing out the individual components and building from complete scratch. You are correct that the individual components are very cheap, but the kits still have profit margins built in and are not nearly as cheap. That's where my fear of diminished resale value comes in.
Kwaping:
Yeah, if you're not concerned about resale value, then there is basically no reason to not do it.
In other news, a guitar I paid $900 for a year ago is now on clearance for under $600. Speaking of crappy resale value... :(
