Hi Justin.
Have you ever build your own bass? If so, how did it come out?
I'm currently working on my own, so I wondered if you had any experience with building. |

| | | | No experience, but if I did, it would be a nine-string multi-laminate coffee table with four-band parametric EQ, an XLR jack, an onboard MIDI system, and a candy dispenser.
Or maybe a 2 x 4 with two strings. That would be rad.
Best,
JMJ

| | | | Yeah, dude. An SSL channel strip. It's about time someone took it to the next level, and that someone is me.

Best,
JMJ | That would be one hell of an instrument. What kind of candy dispenser?
Some little Pez thing or a full on candy machine? |

| | | | After the SSL channel strip, the candy dispenser might end up being the sacrificial lamb of the project. Hmmm....maybe a Pez dispenser would still fit, on the upper horn somewhere.

maybe the dodger pez dispenser? |

I think it's definitely in the Beck aesthetic, but I think it's a little frivolous for NIN. Maybe something made of licorice would be more suitable for NIN. I'd never buy it because I hate licorice, but hey, when in Rome...

JMJ | Haha thanks! I really think more musicians should look into Pez marketing. I mean, think about a JMJ Pez dispenser... perfect promotion! Business cards are so 20th century.
