You are a really funny guy! "I like BIG ASS in my bass" - followed by that picture had me rolling!  Dug the video/picture cutaways (especially the dumpster diving with zeal).
Do I detect a Cleveland accent?

  Eyes open...dumpster too ! !
   The PS, the 'amp' and the speaker...amazing what can be hacked together and sound great ! !
  I've tried similar...building the whole amp from scratch...hafta admit there are amazing deals on working amps...especially if you don't overlook car-audio...
  It's pretty simple...put your wallet away, wait for the stuff to 'appear' [ok get the 1's out, maybe a 10...leave the 50's and 100 dollarbills in there], gather up what you need and put it together ! !
  Much of 'it' is in the speaker, really good ones can be found too [takes a bit more time and searching, but I've found old organ/other speakers too].
  ...and the power supply...but even this can be free ! Amps are so good and inexpensive these days...new, used, abandon...it's pretty easy to find excellent and inexpensive amplification.

yeah its amazing what you can find if you look well enough , specially these days . BUT new laws about disposing of electronics , that has me very nervous . i do "build stuff from scracth" too , but sometimes a hack is just in order . what i really like doing is re-purposing throwaway / second hand stuff . i really get off on that cause its so cheap .

this particular case i got really lucky , so thats why the video is so long !

trying to up my game here , with the videos too , thanks for commenting and watching . my daughter does the editing , she started slipping images in , now i give her a list . the giant ass , that was her though .

we are from chicago , i use a heavy fake accent from time to time , depending on the amount of "comedy"/b*llsh&t i am interjecting . i do not speak like that normally . but folks do around here , some of em .

comin up i have a really cool (i hope) stereo amp for guitar . this thing is gonna kill , and look very unique too . i am waiting on parts , then i have a special one , a stella amp , with an automotive eq and spring reverb in a fancy (hopefully) diy chassis . i also got some hanna montana guitars (pt2399) for a few miniu echo amps , those should be neat .

then , pedals ....  

by the way , here is the stella amp , i dig the second half of this video :
