Post by: David Houck on February 06, 2008, 06:21:32 PM: I don't follow the market for used Schack basses, but I'm thinking $19,000 is a bit on the high side for this particular model.

Post by: bigredbass on February 07, 2008, 05:31:24 PM: Well, if it's sized in scale to the ego of the player, this big sob might be just the thing for several people who quickly come to mind . . . .

Post by: bigredbass on February 07, 2008, 05:33:29 PM: Of course, you'd have to get that phone-booth sized SVT that Ampeg made for the NAMM show a couple of years back, but geez, a MONSTER cable for a 2 jack is gonna make \9 grand for the bass seem cheap . . .

Post by: David Houck on February 08, 2008, 02:03:55 PM: Why not just list it for $69,999,400? I guess their experience suggests they can entice more buyers by listing it at $69,999,399.99. But I for one am not persuaded by that price.

Post by: Bradley Young on February 08, 2008, 04:40:18 PM: Dave,

What you have to understand is that this is a vintage cabinet. It's got a nitrocellulose finish on the cone, which makes for an amazing vibe.

Trust me, you've never heard such a warm, meaty, barky, mid-to-low-mid honky rig that isn't nasal sounding in all your life.

It perfectly captures the vintage vibe while having a bit of top end sparkle for a more modern sound.

You will now buy it.

Post by: David Houck on February 08, 2008, 05:03:01 PM: Oh; but I'm not really looking for a warm, meaty, barky, mid-to-low-mid honky sound. Now if they only had a low-mid-to-mid at that price.
