UPS are excellent, but they want paying on the doorstep before they hand over the guitar, they'll take a cheque.

My Modulus Quantum 6 string.

To my ears there isn't really much of a difference between 34" and 35" scale basses, but I think when you get down to a 33" you might start hearing a difference. Don't both Matt Garrisons and Janek Gwizdalas basses have hipshot detuners fitted to them, being 33" scale basses wouldn't the E string get very floppy when detuned. I really think that you ought to actually try a 33" ERB scale bass before you order.

Yeah, some really nice playing there. I was looking on his talkbass 'ask the experts' section, and he's got a book coming out soon with his chord voicings in, that'd be a good book to buy.

It's the cheaper model which has an ebonal board and cheaper electronics, they're now made with a natural finish and called the GWB105. The real signature model is tons better and is called the GWB1005, that has an ebony board and much better pickup and electronics.

This is really worth buying as well, AJ is really on form here, and the film shows some very nice close up shots of his playing, he really does play the whole of the bass.

I saw him at a masterclass at the ICMP with Mike Stern, I didn't manage to get to see them at Ronnie Scotts unfortunately, he is the best bassplayer that I've ever gotten chance to see,

This new album by Steve Khan is a must for all AJ fans, it's been available as a bootleg for sometime apparently, but it's now been officially released. It was recorded live in Stuttgart in 1994. Soundwise the album is excellent, you can hear every note that AJ plays, and all the subtle nuances of his playing. His sound and playing is as always without equal.
