Has anyone used the foam that comes off foam paint brushes to cover the piezos? Just thought about it yesterday as I was walking by them. Couldn't find any foam covered tape. I thought that might work. Does anyone know if it would or not? Thanks.

While your there ,you might want to look in the plumbing dept. at the copper fitting . I picked up some there about an inch or 11/2" cheap . they work good too . Just have to get the bar codes off.

Perfect! I'll make a trip this week to check those out. I had checked www.mcmaster-carr.com and didn't see the right size. BTW, highly recommended resource otherwise.

Have any of you seen these? They actually work ok and come with 110v adapters. They are super easy to take apart and install in a cigar box. I like to use them to make matching guitar/amp sets. Plus, they can easily be converted to run off a 9v battery. I actually used to buy them from Best Buy, but they are getting more and more difficult to find. Cheap Amp!

The Quadraphonic Octopus invites members of Low Budget to sample our latest song, "Line 'Em Up." It is located on our profile. The drums were perhaps the lowest of budgets: they are plastic buckets. They were performed by the Ghetto Bukkets drumline.

works fine... pots a little scratchy and the speakers sound like a t0's something "solid state" amp... yes... a steal and fits a "vintage" CBG vibe...
Comment by Steve Becker on December 14, 2009 at 12:44pm
If it works, $10 sounds like a steal to me.
