  • Short-scale bass?

    Did Jackson/Charvel ever make a short-scale bass (under 34" length)?

      The JJ bass.

          The Bass Palace used to relist one on Ebay non-stop a while back. Didn't want too much for it, but I guess folks were put off by the short-scale and the name.

            I haven't played bass in many years, but just picked a cheap Titan/National Music Supply bass up from ebay (under $100 shipped) that's got the typical 34" scale. I like it, but it just seems a little too long for me to reach comfortably to the first fret, and I would like to eventually find something with a 30" to 32" scale. I've always liked the JJ shape, so maybe I can track one of those down some day.

              Not a Jackson, but a DAMN short 18" scale...

              The DeArmond Ashbory Bass is very compact. The scale is inch over half of a standard bass guitar (34 inches = Fender electric bass guitar).

                Damn, that's way small! I have seen pics of those before in magazines, but never realized how tiny they were. It would be interesting to play one just to see what it's like.
