there's a used talkbox in the emporium...

[re-animator]

thegearpage is officially disgusting.

 

[orange worker]

its impossible for the buyer to spend $5 to get some new tubing at home depot?

 

[Philly Fuzz]

He probably just means because they sound so terrible...

 

[tbone666]

i'd only buy it if it came with all the original gear....who know's who's blown into that tube...

...wait...

 

[EricPeterson]

Hey that is mine! - yeah just buy a new tube.

 

[cvansickle]

I bought one off eBay a few years back. I also bought new tubing at Home Depot and a box of alcohol prep wipes at the drug store.

No matter where the tube comes from, you NEED the third item!

 

[todd richman]

So if a hot blonde (female) was selling the talk box you wouldn't just use it as purchased without replacing the tube! I would!!

 

[Sniper-V]

Don't use'em but if was going to, I'd just buy it new.

guitarists: not a particularly sanitary bunch??

I assume you're comparing this to kissing..... Well kissing somebody on the mouth (even with tongue) is different from allowing those mouth germs to incubate on a piece of plastic for an untold amount of time, then again putting it in your mouth.

But yet you will all show up at a House gig or open mic and sing in to a rental/house Mic.

 

[re-animator]

yeah, well the mic doesn't go in your mouth.

Right.It is perfectly safe..:AOK

LOL
I've owned an original Heil Talkbox since it first came out.
Its the only piece of gear no player has ever asked if they could try.

How about using Frampton's original tube-to be able to say you blew through the same tube that created those sounds on Comes Alive! (I would have added Sambora, but I might get flamed for that-I guess I just did!)

You're that guy that brings disinfectant and sprays the mic down, aren't you?

During a particularly rough show a few years ago, the (mosh) pit mashed my mic stand, and therefore my mic, right into my face. My nose bled all over the mic, my shirt, the stage, and my guitar for the rest of the show...maybe 15 minutes. The next band's singer was so wasted he didn't even notice that he was smearing my blood all over his face during their set...

Maybe I'll bring a bottle next gig...

So, you're saying you'd like it if you could blow through Frampton or Sambora's tube. eh?

Funny.But truth be told my first actual homemade TB Hose came from a Douche Bag..Not used mind you but a Douche Bag hose non the less.

Don't tell me how to sing. You're not the boss of me.

Don't you watch MTV ?? You are suppose to place your hand completely over the head of the Microphone.
