Having said that I was told they probably make more money out of selling plastic kazoo's and strings than the big ticket items.
I need to get some of these magical money making kazoos!

I'll swap you for some magic beans ;)
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

THESE BEANS MAY or may not HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME PACKET AS JACKS MAGIC BEANS, I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE. ALL I KNOW IS I GOT THEM OFF THIS OLD GUY CALLED JACK 30 YEARS AGO AFTER HE CLEANED OUT HIS SHED AND FOUND THE PACKET IN AN OLD WARDROBE. I HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO PLANT THEM AND THINK THEY SHOULD GO TO SOMEONE WHO CAN USE THEM. SORRY YOU CAN'T READ THE PACKET PROPERLY BUT I ACCIDENTALLY DROPPED THE PACKET IN MY 44 GALLON DRUM OF BLUE PAINT.

DrENCHEd, was it?
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

It's identical to the one I own already, and my drummer hates capos with a passion so it's good to keep them around to annoy him with!
