Hmmm, I've actually been thinking about something similar, a shallow 3
space rack case angled slightly upwards built into a pedalboard, holding
the JamMan, Peavey filter box and maybe another rack box. Most of the rest
of my effects are stomp boxes, and it'd be nice to build something that I
could plug the bass into one end, the amp at the other, and be done with
it.
