Hi Justin!

Just want to say I really enjoyed the NiN concert here in Manila, you guys put on a great show. Something that i would cherish for years!

I wish other major acts would follow suit.

what basses did you play by the way?

I notice a thunderbird, but the others i can't tell if they were fenders or whatnot as i was far away to see in detail!

Keep on rockin!

Manila was great, you as a collective audience were very real and heartfelt. Wish I had more time here.

Instruments I played last night:

Thunderbird (two)
Jaguar bass
Jaguar custom bass with P/J pickup
Geddy Lee Jazz with mods (two)
Fender Precision
Fender Jaguar HH custom guitar

Best,
Justin

Thanks for the list Justin!

You guys really put on a good show. I was really inspired by the collective effort you guys put in as a band!

NiN would be the standard by all the foreign bands that would come to manila

Thanks to you and your crew!

Btw, did you had time to go around the city?

Nice, appreciate that!

Our crew is incredible. And 2/3 of them are sick right now, no less.

No time to check out Manila, unfortunately. I wish it was otherwise. Getting on a plane now, bound for Tokyo.

All the best,
JMJ

on an older thread, i recall you saying you employ many different tunings... would this be part of having seven basses listed above (aside from tone)?

It's the main reason, actually.
