Intergalactic iron?

Or just some ceramic composite that acts like a piezo-on-roids?

Anyone want to break into the Navel Ordinance Laboratory to get some of this stuff??

...might be a little "...difficult..." to use and play if it has to be kept a Zero-degrees (!) in order to work properly: "...uh, hold up guys, I gotta dip my pickup into the liquid Nitrogen again!" (wink,wink)

Good idea! I provide rooster diguise for everyone!

Trouble with all these ideas is no matter how good they are, and this actually seems like a good one, all guitarists want to sound like the old guys they heard when they still young, so always back to Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, DeArmond etc...

All six of the robbers were wearing rooster suits, and five were captured by police and taken to jail. The sixth rooster was last seen making his getaway riding a sheep.

You forgot the one who crossed the road, no one knows why.....

By the way, did anyone follow up on the SoundBug...

Interesting and obviously explains what that last chickenhead was chasing.

Uhhh... I heard the last rooster wasn't riding the sheep, it had a breakdown and he was pushing it home. :D

Have any of you even seen a SoundBug? I'm kinda curious what sticking it onto different materials like wood or marble would do to the tone of the sound it puts out.

That sounds pretty much like a piezzoelectric transducer to me! :D

I have a SoundBug. It works as promised, putting out decent volume stuck to a window or tabletop, but the sound quality is pretty dreadful, with no bass at all.

[David King]

Well then look out for 6 (5?) men in rooster disguises, riding or "pushing" sheep coming to your window for a look and possibly a heist..

I'd be seriously interested to know if your soundbug can work "backwards" as a microphone..
