Yeah man, wire some semtex into that circuit so it blows your hand off mid set, real kool.

Fuzz with a volume control, hard trem with a speed control. Kill switch would be a pain to do hard chops but would look really RAWK!!!

There's no room for a trem board in there, whether it's an EA trem or something like the Schaller trems I've just made. The GFS mod board trem does look quite small, but I don't think it'd fit in the rhythm route without more work.

So I'd go for a... actually, where are you putting the battery?

I'd worry about the fact the roller pots on a Jag/Jazz are special pots.

Is there room in there to do a cocked wah thing, like people do on Esquires? Pretty sure that's just a fixed resistor.

EDIT: apparently, you switch a resistor for a cap. Could be good. Or have a straight to jack mod? Imagine the treble...

Nah, they've just got solid metal posts- the 2nd gain control on my modded RAT is from my Jazzmaster's rhythm circuit.

That's a small pot though, it's a 12mm I think.

Most average Alpha pots are 16mm and CTS are much bigger.

All good things to think about...battery etc... You can tell I hadn't really thought about this much at all!
Thanks for the input though! Will have a think and come back for more advice/suggestions!

FWIW I would probably ditch the rollers and use the switch as a "parallel/series" switch for when combining pickups.

Cheers mate, but I already have this on my bass cut switch

Ah.

Couldn't live without bass cut. I love that when using neck or both pickups and some dirt.

Fair enough. Never really got on with it myself.
