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. |

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 |

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". lie |

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 . . . . J o e y |

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 . . . J o e y |

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. |

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. Bradley |

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. |
