Time Machine Bass Project - Build Thread

Steve, please note: If you are not visited by your future self during the building process, your time machine doesn't work.

Ah yes, this is one of the time paradoxes that can give you a headache and which is seen in some of the movies including BTF, Terminator and probably others.

I thought this was an ACTUAL time machine build. I'm disappointed because I was hoping to go back in time to the early 1960s and bring back a pre- CBS Fender. Oh well. Really cool looking instruments though!

That would be our stretch/aspirational goal.

A thought: It would be *really* cool if you somehow worked an actual clock into the body- but had it run at higher speed, *backwards*. A big 'ol glass bubble, too.

My son and I both were thinking of some kind of clock(s). Running backward would be cool. I bet he could build a digital clock that would count backwards. Not sure if we could reverse an analog clock but I like the idea!

I hope you can incorporate something from one of the best time travel movie of all time:

edit: I'm having difficulty thinking of anything other then maybe an old worn phone booth number pad or an antenna of sorts.

Google- How to make a clock run backwards or how to make an inverse clock

There are even Instructables on how to do it.

So-crates! Woah!

"On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
Well by seventy-six we'll be A.O.K.
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free"

I started building a time machine once. I quit after I paused to answer the doorbell, and it was me. I told me, "Don't build the time machine," and walked away. "Okay," I said, and took everything apart and deleted all my notes. I didn't want to cause a paradox or anything...

We have included a practice amp and accessories with most of our donations. There is potential to do a phone booth looking amp.

Bill and Ted. That's how they pronounce Socrates throughout the movie. So- crAts.

As luck would have it, I was just putting the finishing touches on my time machine when I came into the room and handed myself a stack of unpaid parking tickets from next year. D'oh!

Almost forgot SpongeBobSquarePants....everything in the future is chrome...

That show was never meant for kids.

Love me some Sponge Bob! Ogle you rock. And Tony Cochran, just wow seriously sick stuff, me want.

Kinda like Bugs Bunny - kids and the parents equally love it but on a different level. I always thought Bugs was the best cartoon until SpongeBob came out. We are 50+ and kids are young adults but we area all still enjoy it.

Sorry to derail...but the "Band Geeks" episode should be required viewing for musicians. Along with "This is Spinal Tap."

Pssshh. "Adventure Time" is the best show. Every bass player loves Marceline.

My kids must be too old for us to have tried that one. Never heard of it.
