Something that basic isn't going to need anything special so i'm sure a 2N3804, 2N2222 or BC547 will do the trick. You can get a pack of general purpose NPN transistors at Radio Shack for a few bucks.

BTW there is no need to yell out your question. (all caps comes across as yelling)

:-) Since MPilch had already given you a decent answer (i.e., a low precision application doesn't usually require a special-purpose component), it didn't make a lot of sense for me to repeat it.
