I heard about this on today's SonicTalk episode and thought that it was an interesting topic.

The guys in the SonicTalk video made some good comments about it. Have a listen from about 18:12 to about 30:45.
Also on today's SonicTalk episode was some talk about Gaz Williams' new bass, an Ibanez Portamento. I think Flash Harry and a few others will find it interesting. Watch the video from about 1:16:48 to 1:20:28.
