What kills me is the sheet music. 
The first ones that these type of bands introuduced were the contra bass and they cost 23 grand from Eva Kingma i believ in the Netherlands, the players entered the hall with a suitcase on whells with this big flute like a drain pipe in it, it was a sight.
Then they moved up to Sub Contra bass im not even sure what price they are they sound like the pipes on a church organ.
Yes im sure in Bandit country they could be addapted to shoot down the Brits 
I think a SAM-6 keyed would do the same job.
I rather like his Sliding Life Blues:

That’s a very unflattering way to refer to a lady.

Apologies to Andrea and the viewing audience for the lack of clarity. 
Of course, I meant to say “And what’s this massive metal thing the lady is holding.”
Best wishes.

My initial though was that it could be used to cap offshore oil wells that had run amok…
Best wishes.
