Laser LEDs look like little sissified LEDs compared to this.

Imagine having 10 x 50w halogen lights in your fingerboard. Heh.

No worries about that "dark stage" anymore.

But would you need a 240V(UK) or 110V(US) to power these in your bass/guitar..that would be a bit of a problem!!!

But, do you really want your bandmates to go away with retinal damage? I think above 5 candlepower, you start risking it. Gives a whole other meaning to Nigel Tufnel's "don't even look at it!"

How about some class III lasers? :-)

LASERS!

A little bit of fiber optic cable, and we're all set.

I can see it now: I was arrested for pointing my bass at an airplane.

I bet Dr Evil would say ""Death Ray""

Btw: Nigel Tufnel is extremely Icon-Jam and Icon-Cool

Terry, that's what the damping ratio knob on a Superfilter is for. Anything below about 6 is stun. Anything above, well...

Never used a superfilter but if they are as good as that maybe I should invest..do they have photon torpedoes included or is that an optional extra??
