Bass is almost ready, but...

The Fuzz Box is staring me in the face.

Unfortunately, I have to put my spectacles on to see what it's trying to say.

Hang on... I'll put my specs on... Yes, I can read it... It says...

PULL YOUR FINGER OUT!

Well, I knew fuzz boxes were rude and offensive but this one isn't even built yet!

The bass is re-built though with new pickups and a dose of cleaning and polishing; all it needs now is a nut...

And the fuzz box casing has been painted bright yellow in honour of my original Coloursound Tonebender. Frankly I'm just frightened by the tiny writing on the components now. Is there not cause for those in the fifty-plus bracket to ask for self-assembly electronic kits in pre-50 or post-50 variants?
