If you have a contrabass saxophone( 6 ft, 4 inches, 45 pounds) what in the world do you use for a case!?

That is a very interesting question. I've looked at Jay Easton's page, and not once does he mention the case for his contrabass. Either the case is friggin' huge, and weighs as much as the instrument itself, or you'd just have to be really really careful when you're transporting it... WTF

A Ford pick up truck....maybe. Laughing

Wait a minute, it might not be strong enough, I think it can only hold 2 tons!

Yes, Orsi makes a case for the sax, and yes, it is very large. I saw one pictured on a sight somewhere, but can't find the link.
