From what I can tell, it is doubtful that Blueshark will ever be made again, with or without a bar.

On this site I found three metal pads with bars for less than $300. I have no experience with any of those and cannot vouch for their quality though.

Nope, no more Bluesharks EVER.

In fact, no more MyMyBox metal pads EVER. They're completely shutting down. If you're lucky enough to live in California, or ar willing to drive there, you can pick up the last few Nexens they have in their inventory. But other than that, let's just say MyMyBox never existed and go back to Cobalt Flux, which is, once again, the only commercially sold metal dance pad worth buying. That being said, ignore Nemoide's link, those are probably trash. Go here: www.cobaltflux.com

Actually no they don't exist. Bluesharks are a myth.

It was planned. It's a conspiracy. The Man is out to get you.

The thing I really liked was their speedy delivery for game pad parts I used in my metal pad.... shit, where can I get working arcade sensors now? Without requiring a huge order/minimum order?

I originally was saving up for a CF, they are indeed great. The Bluesharks though just seemed overall superior - sensors, pad design, materials, everything. This whomps.

CF's are only 5% metal by Mass...80lbs of pad, ~4 lbs (15 square feet) of metal. Just nitpicking a little. They're hard, but certainly not metal. CF's actually use the least metal out of pretty much any hard pad. The only pads that use actual metal frames are BeatGear and Konami pads.

It's interesting to hear that MMB is leaving the business--let the age of the homebrew live on?

Anyway, it's pretty easy to give a CF a bar if you have $20 to spend on parts. If you want a really nice, sturdy bar, make it $75. Either way, you'll find that it's not that difficult to turn a Cobalt Flux into a very formidable peripheral if you mod it right. Many of the best mods don't even require you to open up the pad.
