I forgot to mention the basses made out of wood and the hand peace with the button and the connection is made out of plastic

It depends on how you're setting it up really. The one I built uses RCA connectors from the battery box that sits on the desk to the hand piece which has the 510 connector and LED. Buncha salvaged parts from broken electronic devices I had laying around. Best bet would be to attach it to the battery section, that way you're regulating the current before it gets into your hands, which is sorta the point in using something like this, right?
There's going to be a switch in the handpiece is it okay to put the 5 volt regulator before the switch and I'm not using connection from the box to the hand Peace I'm just using long wire in a braided rope to go with it for looks

A switch just completes the circuit so it can go anywhere really. What regulator are you using? Some tend to run pretty hot and may require a heat sink. I would still recommend hooking it up as close to your batteries as possible. Maybe something like this...
..............Kill switch....................................................................
|--------^-----------|...................|-------------|.......................
-Batteries.................============.......LED.|....= Atty connection.
|++++++v+++++++++|...................|++v+++++++|........................
.............Regulator chip........................Fire switch.........................
Sorry if the diagram is a bit crude, just easier than drawing one up for me.

Ty and it is a radioShack regulator. Lm7805c

Seems like that chip can only handle 1 amp...Output Voltage: +5VDC @ 1A Maximum Input Voltage: 35VDC...also from reading comments at RS it has a tendency to over heat. Probably better off getting something that costs a bit more but can support up to 3A at least. Most setups run at around 2 amps give or take, depending on your sweet spot as far as watts go.
I don't even know what my sweet spot is lol I'm new still lol the bast thing I have used is an ego clone lol

Well personally mine is about 8 watts. I use my 4xNiMH AAA's which under load put out about 4 volts (fully charged 5.4V, 4.4V under load) with a 2.2 ohm atty. Which is 8.8 watts freshly charged, Watts = Volts * Volts / Ohms. Then it kinda stabilizes at around 8 watts, I know it's time to change batteries when it drops down to about 7. Freshly charged I pull 2A (Amps = Volts / Ohms), the benefit for using a regulator is so that you have a consistent nominal voltage. I don't have much experience with regulators so I'm not sure how it would behave if you tried pulling more amps than it says it can handle. I'd assume it would fry it, but it might just reduce the output voltage. Say you attach a 1.5 ohm atty and fire it up, that would be 3.3A at 5V (which I don't recommend doing BTW, 16.7W, super hot vape lol).
Also you should use either 20 AWG or 18 AWG wire (I usually use 18 AWG). Steeljan on youtube has some great tutorials on how to wire stuff up. This video was probably one of the most useful ones I've found. I love all her videos, she's great.
