Great little kits for the money & a great way to learn the basics before you move on to bigger projects, even if you go wrong most of the components are re usable
Been planning to build a rockbox boiling point & mabye a suhr shiba drive

Got my first Musikding kit on Monday, a tube screamer. Put it together the other night, and really pleased with it so far. Will definitely be using them again.
This is my second pedal build, after a fuzz face. Great satisfaction in playing your own pedals!

I would have to disagree. I don't know about anyone else but I hate gimmicky guitars like that. Seems like your trying to compensate for lack of skill or just trying to be as metal-as-fuck!

Buy it or I will.

Quick question for any drummers, when you buy drum heads, do they tend to come in pairs, or do you have to buy seperate ones for the beater and the reso side? Most sites are feckin' confusing me as I'm a guitarist.

Just ate a peanut butter sandwich and a banana separately but taking alternate bites. No bacon or anything but fairly high on the Elvis scale.

You buy them separately, reso will last a lot longer than beater so you'd end up with loads extra pretty fast if bought as a pair.


That bass is gorgeous. Do it!

Do it! Sherwood green is a fantastical colour! I have a bass in that colour and it just looks awesome. Depending on the light it looks darker green, very bright or even almost blue.

Isn't it almost a given that your first proper paycheck should be spent on something outragous, cause that's what I'm going to do when I get my first paycheck next month. Looking at a damn expensive bottle of whiskey and then see where to go for there .

Bought the OR15 out of my first two paychecks, and will probably keep spending the rest on gear.

Damn right! I landed a contracting job in Boston one summer which I ended up only getting paid for once the two months work was completed. Cue me walking into a Guitar Center with a few thousand dollars burning a hole in my pocket. Logically I should have been thinking "This cash should see me through nicely until Christmas". Of course I was really thinking "Holy crap I can afford anything except those vintage Les Pauls." I ended up a happy owner of the Strat here and still managed not to starve when I went back to college .
