Perhaps there is that.
I am used to 29, feeling quite comfortable on that.
My 20 fret bass feels nice too though!
Not sure which one feels 'better' or if any of the two does to me.

That is true, you talk about slapping and popping with 29 frets then you probably have only one pickup. Right?
That is still one of my all time favorite AJ6's. So freaking classy!
That sure is a beauty. And the bridge pickup will come in handy, even if AJ might not always use one!
Hi! I put on sale my Fodera Matt Garrison. Here is the link in case you are interested:

Anthony Jackson commented in an interview, where he discussed the evolution of his 6-string contrabass guitars, that he took delivery of #10 on Valentines Day 1996. So he would have had #9 for a year or two before. I am not sure of which recordings he used it on. There is a Lagrene/Chambers/Jackson album which was recorded shortly beforehand, so I kind of assumed that he used it on that. It would be interesting to know for sure.
#9 has the same Alder/PinkIvory/Chestnut combination as was used in a bass that was recently discussed on this forum (although it was not a Presentation). Followers of this thread may remember, because there was a youtube video that people commented on. It is an unusual combination of woods.
FWIW,

Would that album be 'my favorite Django'?
If I remember correctly( I may very well be very wrong here
) it had a picture of AJ holding a bass which had what looked like a maple top with that big pickguard looking thing on it ( was it put on there to cover up the traces of P/U -Placement experiments?)I'll have a look-see if I can find that cd to check.
I really wonder how slap bass sounds on AJ models... since it only has one pickup...

Pretty sure you're talking about the bass that he played in this video
I saw Anthony on tour with Hiromi two weeks ago. Have to say that older bass from the clips above seems to cut through better than the latest one. I know I'm basing this on just one gig and there could have been amp / hall issues etc but I thought that with his current contrabass you 'feel' the bass before you hear it.
Really cool to finally get to watch Anthony though. He is obviously really attached to the instrument. Never left it in a stand on stage, it was in his hands all night.
