Hey Joey,
I was cruising music shops today and ran across a Carl Martin Combinator II at Musica (Instrument store not the CD place) at Atterbury value mart. Didn't see a price but thought you might be interested.

Rob.

JoeyBones

Thanks Rob.

I'm still not sure if it's what I want. I'll try to call them today to get a price.

Off the topic, but does anyone know of a place that sells perspex cheap ?

AlanRatcliffe

Perspex? What for? It's too brittle for pickguards, etc. - use ABS plastic or a similar, more flexible plastic for that.

Cape Plastics in CT, but as with most perspex suppliers, it's only cheap if you buy a big sheet of the stuff. If you're looking for smaller quantities, try any signage shop as they will have smaller pieces (or be willing to cut some off for you).

JoeyBones

I'm thinking of using it on my pedalboard. Kindoff like a Pedaltrain. I've seen a few done out of perspex and it looks wicked. All depends on how much it'll cost.

AlanRatcliffe

I'm guessing you're thinking transparent perspex? That would be quite cool. Maybe put a few blue LEDs inside too - pimp your pedalboard! ;D

JoeyBones

You read my mind ?

Something like these :

You have to admit, that's pretty sweet. I'm thinking of using a few perspex strips instead of a solid piece to make it easier to route cables.

In Cape Town we call that a Northern Suburbs pedalboard... you know, behind the boerewors curtain...
Ge-drop, ge-tint, ge-mag, en ge-neon! ? (just so you know I stay in the northern suburbs...)
