Just sent the link to our bass player. We try to be "western" but she comes to shows in steam punk.

its a cool idea. my parents have an old wooden console radio in their home... my mom said she paid $5 for it at a yard sale. i've looked at it many times with the idea of putting the guts from an old tube amp in there...

I'm putting a tweed Deluxe chassis in a gutted solid state amp that has a seed bag grill cloth. Does that make me farm-punk?

I don't dig the steampunk fad. It's like being a hipster that actually has mechanical skills.
