Platform Tactile Monitor

I'm not sure I can live without a "Platform Tactile Monitor" now that I've heard of it – about five minutes ago.

As a bass player, I've always wanted to feel the bass in my whole body – without necessarily being the loudest instrument in the band. I sometimes would lean my back against the amp. My bass amp is kind of small and wedge shaped like a stage monitor. A couple of times I would lay on the floor with my back against the amp like a chaise lounge. The band members looked at me like I was a weirdo.

I'm not alone!

Intriguing, but it does rather limit your stage movement somewhat. No duck walks with that baby.........

Can you actually see his feet though? I think he's on a trolly of some kind, and he's being pulled from side to side by stagehands.
