Hey guys,
I've been wanting to buy a wah shell and keep checking craigslist for broken one (but living in Nashville, you won't find people selling too much broken gear on there). I'm currently winning an auction for a busted Crybaby, but also stumbled across these cheap wah pedals (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251075126940#ht_500wt_986) for $30 shipped. Can't tell much from the picture, but wanted to see if anyone has gone this route, or if you all think it would be worth it for building a Weener, or expression pedal, or something.
Never seen those. That's damn cheap. :o
Yeah, if I lose this auction, I may get one and try it
The enclosure is plastic. Not sure if it looks sturdy enough to be worth a rehousing.
Here's one for $35.00

If you're not familiar, there's a site called Yakaz, that just re-posts things listed elsewhere.
Anyhow, there you have it. I'm sure these guys could ship it for $10.00 or less. Better than plastic.

I saw Mammoth offers an unpainted one for $41, so that might be interesting if you got some more stuff you're ordering there. Looks like a good quality aluminium Cry baby imitation.
