so i have a fat tuesday gig with the Nasty 9 and get the helicon down to play it a bit and decide to put the blokepiece #1 in it. Holy Sh*t the horn pops like crazy. I can really crack the low notes and put some kick on the funk lines. i love it! can;'t wait til the 16th now!

Of course one would expect the blokepiece #1 turn your helcion into a Hell Icon.

a bit off topic question for Bloke....
is there any market/interest in the Pimp-o-phone style sousaphones?
