I'm fully prepared to be shot down in flames here. 1) If you're buying in serious quantity ...

Hi Guys,

I have a little AX84 Firefly that could be worth showing off.

Re: Beam blockers

Interesting.....

Thanks, Guys. I will try something out for my next rehearsal. I am not too keen on the duct tape because of the residue, but I have some "temporary" strong adhesive I could try out with.

Thanks,

I paid $AU200 for the set when I was in Melbourne (single PU's were selling for about $AU135 at the time!) - they normally go for $AU270. For comparison, Kinmans were around $AU500 at the time. Not sure what prices are here.
