Either those 2 guys are midgets or there was a problem with the computer...

I wonder if the lowest note is down an octave from a regular size bass.

68 inch scale ... that means it is an octave lower than a regular bass ... the G string played open is the same G as the 3rd fret on an E string on a normal bass ... the E string is below 100hz ... the whole thing would be like 6 feet long and probably weigh 30 pounds or more ...

where would you get strings for it?

or maybe it is 2 octaves lower ... then it would approach subsonic ...

I did the math conversion ... it is about 62 pounds ...

I'd love to see the face of the baggage dude at the airport when you go to check in "my guitar".

I wonder if they do a 12 string?

So Jeff... does this one fit your scale-length requirements for a low B?

OMG! I want it! Ha-ha-ha.

Hey Sheena,

For $19,200.00 US, he's nice enough to throw in free shipping! What a DEAL!?!? LoL!

Um. I need to be more attentive. For $19K+, i don't want it!!!!

But just the idea of having a bass which is bigger than me...

You'd have to put it up on a hoist to set it up.

Break a string and it could kill you.

If you get down with this bass, you'll never get up again.

What? THAT little thing?....

I would've bid on it if it weren't a fretless

Try and find frets to fit it!
