I do still want them but I have got a couple of big bills over the next two weeks on my car. So if you don't mind waiting I will have them in a few weeks.
What with new tyres and exhaust it is exhausting me paying the money out.
Let me know if this is OK with you, or if it's not.

At 6:54am on October 8, 2009, Dianne Woods said…: NIce photos, and CBGs. Your stomp box is neat. You didn't put a piezo transducer in it? You just nailed the board and the tags down? I need a stomp box and I want to make one, but I don't know how.

I've been wondering about a resonator myself. What did you use for the resonator cone? Also, where do you get your Tuning Heads around here? They are so expensive.
