Sonny boy? Well, OK, I'm only a bit past the half century mark, but I still refuse to act my age! :twisted:
I bought one recently (not this particular unit) with a photocell instead of a pot to control frequency. Through an amp with some effects, the sounds it makes are EXTREMELY annoying.

I will buy it when I can find one at the thrift store for $2.00 like my iZ

I'm wondering how IZ would survive the splash test, too. After Tripper got through with him, that is. :twisted: :twisted:

Ah well, in reality, why would I even want something to make annoying noises? There isn't anyone close enough for me to annoy anyway, except for my wife. And according to her, I can make more than enough annoying noises with my bass...
:roll: :oops: :lol: :lol:
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

True. Mine seems to have been conveniently "losted", along with that remote-controlled fart machine that I used to take to staff meetings and hide under the boss' chair.

A boyfriend used to have the little black box that blurted out obscenities at random. Annoying, but with that extra insulting edge. :twisted: I "losted" it for him. :wink:

I was going to say something to that effect, but figured it was unnecessary since that's one of the more obvious attributes of being male... :roll: :lol: :lol:
