About the inductors - could I use the one sold at tayda - http://www.taydaelectronics.com/servlet ... Categories

Your links didn't link, so I can't comment on the specific parts you're looking at.  You need the correct inductance and DC resistance (which affects the Q of the bell curve).  Wilco is the company most people I have read order "sample" inductors from.  Reports say shipping is like 20 bucks for the "free" inductors.  You could also use gyrators, or so I have read.    I've never built a Mark GEQ because it seems to be too much of a pain.
