Nope, the white bits are fine being white - remember that as far as printers are concerned, white is just an absence of ink.

Ends, Vince, Haze, your cases are all drilled.
However they need some respraying as some paint was lost in flaking around the holes, which has hacked me off somewhat. No will do this tonight and clearcoat tomorrow, then hopefully I can get building next week.

OK, all respray touch ups done.
Haze and Ends cases have been clearcoated.
Vince's I'm waiting on the paint to dry before applying decals and then that will be clearcoated too.

I did what my customers wanted, they wanted Poofy Bezels, they got them.
The enclosed ones are switchcrafts, and neutriks, I was trying out some different types for when I have tight builds and need to get jacks really close to pots. It really helped when I made the CrunchBox for Thom. They're quite fun and very cool, they're slick when you plug in and out of them, I find I have to gently bend about the ring and tip contacts as they're sometimes reaaaaally tight.

It's quite hard to get it with a sparkly finish, subseqent coats seem to dry matt and then sparkly, then matt, but I think I captured it on these two.

with shipping for both, what's the damage?

I've PM'd you mate, I'm shipping them separately as that way I can fold the jiffy envelopes over the control faces so they have double padding...

Just wanted to say that the Box-O-Mike you leant me, Mike- sounded pretty good on the Marshall, not quite my bag though..
BUT IT'S AMAZING WITH BASS. It retains the low end all the way across the gain pot, and doesn't have the mid-range peak you usually get from using guitar pedals in a bass setup. Wish I'd bought my usual bass dirt, the Nobels OD, back home with me to A/B them. I think I'm gonna order of these BOXES, but with the SHO booster at the front of the pedal so I've got 2 gain stages- this possible?

Yeah it certainly is buddy boy! I will have to try using it on bass in PANCAKES, good to know. I had a feeling it might be good because of it's bassy response.

Awesome, drop me a ballpark figure and hopefully I'll be taking it across Europe!

When does the tour start?
Are you ok with the larger of the two case sizes I use or would you like it crammed into a small one like that one?
Both are doable, it's just a larger case is obviously simpler and the footswitches are further apart for stomping. Either way like £70?

Tour starts at like end of July, nearly 2 months away. Bigger case is cool, I prefer having something with a larger footprint in the live situation. I can do without a paintjob too, although a decal might be a bit tasty on top of the metalz.

Sounds exciting. Definitely can do.
I'm fine with painting if you change your mind, or just a decal, it's all good.
