I did think about the mockingbird
I’ll admit— I have always wanted to build a reverse-body mockingbird as an homage to Elliot Easton. Thae Cars also somehow tricked me into GASsing for a Dean Cadillac despite them being such fugly guitars. Thankfully I have less money than common sense, or else I’d probably have a mockingbird and a Cadillac rn 😂

The Cadillac body could almost be tolerated if not for that headstock. Let's be honest, it's an atrocity.
 
A while back I posted the 3D printed shim I designed and got printed up for my Bass VI switch plate to make the switches lower profile and make the plate sit flush with the pickguard. I accidentally messed up the file right before I sent it off to get printed (accidentally selected two of the slots and moved them over .4mm right before saving) so I revised it, make it make the switches a tad bit more low-profile, and got it printed by a guy I found on Reddit. Works like a charm, and no problems this time around! I’ll be able to wire up the VI this weekend if I don’t have to spend too much time in the studios on campus

 
hard tail bridge for the shartcaster, fret saw and a couple rocker gauges to double check which fret needs a trim... along with confirmation my JM has a over filed 1st fret... being a 40th anni model I don't want to tangle in it until neeeded......

Glasshole is frigging awesome, contemplated gettign trunk and tank a few times...

Some damn good projects there. The Bronx cheer is a fun little noise maker. I highly recommend, that if you have built a Parasit Sonic Reducer (or if you haven’t, you should), install an LDR on the mod pads and use the Wavelord to drive the modulation hella fun sounds to be had there.

I had to mod the first Bronx Cheer, as it didn't play too well with the Alumitones in the bridge of several of my guitars. It is an awesome little box, and sounds totes amazeballs hitting a Green Ringer with the neck pickup engaged.
As for Parasit, the only one I haven't built is the C19 (only because I haven't sourced an enclosure yet :ROFLMAO:). I love Freppo's designs, the latest version of the Sonic Reducer being one of my favorites, though I've not tried the Mod mod on it yet. I got the Tappy so I could dick around with injecting that into whatever I've got on the bench. I've been especially fond of modulating lfos with other lfos lately

Going to have to try the Bronx cheer into the green ringer! I built my C19 enclosure out of hardware store hardwood and plexi, more desktop than stompbox worthy.

Here's a quick demonstration-

As for the C19, I'd want it to be a stompbox, so having to decide if I wanna do plexi or just drill through some steel for the bajillion LEDs
 
I just got a shipment of Germanium transistors. ASY34S, OC1074 and OC1076. Fingers crossed that there are some leaky ones for my Tone benders.
There are more Polish trannies to come but the vendor is super busy and who knows when he's going to ship them.
Please, post your measurements here.
