I'm doing this mod to a soundcraft 200b board:

It requires a Buss Bar... pictured in the article. I can't find it locally or online. Maybe I just don't know where to look. lil' help?

you can find similar at Radio Shack, Home depot, and Partsexpress.com
Breadboards are as invaluable as underwear - and also need changed... -R.G.

yeah I'm not finding it at those websites (partsexpress or radio shack). The closest I find there is a grounding block which isn't close enough. Any other suggestions?

Seriously, a 'grounding block' is the same thing, if it fits there physically.
All you are looking at, is a solid block of copper that you can connect all the various grounds to, to stop loops forming.
Technically, a "bus bar" is just a relatively large diameter conductor, chosen so that either it can carry a very high current without overheating, or else because it has such low resistance that a current in it doesn't develop a significant potential difference across it.
