Does Anybody Have A Talk Box I Can Borrow?
« on: March 04, 2010, 11:34:15 PM »
I need to borrow a talk box for my WFMU finale performance. Does anybody out there have one? Please let me know if you do - I'm in a bit of a pinch.

Thanks!

Tom.

This reads like one of Wurster's tweets.

Please tell me you're doing the full version of "Do You Feel Like We Do."
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Finally, someone of quality. I read this and all I thought was: is he gonna do Frampton or Joe Walsh? 

These guys, picking on Tom.

My primary memory of talk boxes (aside from Frampton/Perry rule-age) is looking at them in guitar catalogs as a kid, and always seeing the following disclaimer:

Quote
DUE TO HEALTH REASONS, NO RETURNS ON THIS ITEM.

Sorta makes one question the wisdom of borrowing one, eh?  :-\

Maybe it's "Livin' on a Prayer."

"Sweet Emotion" also.

"Hair of the Dog" would be pretty awesome.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

if you are really desperate, you can build a makeshift one from Home Depot stuff:

Im assuming the answer is 'no' so far, so I will modify my request: does anybody know of any sort of toy/gadget that can replicate a talkbox/robot voice? I am open to any sort of toy store microphone thing.

Thanks!

Tom.
