Now thats a hand full. Lay it down, palm the note while plucking and tapping with your feet. For slide affects just use forehead. LoL NLP
I've seen this before...;^)

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.

Cool, but totally ridiculous.....

Strings, $250.00

chiropractor for your back,$1000.00

truck to haul the case,$20.000.00

the look on your guitar player's face when you pull it out of the case, ..................PRICELESS

LOL, But where could you buy the gigbag?

Strap wings on it and you could fly it home. Since it's not a commercial plane though you'd probably have to land it at, (drum roll please) a Military Bass.

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 . . . .

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 . . .

In case they remove the listing at the GC site: it's a second hand SVT410E 4x10 cab on sale for Only $69,999,399.99. Easy money.

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.
