Why do I struggle with long scales like I have done for years and years? Taken a long time to say “enough” to myself. 34”-ers very hard on my left hand thru the years and even my 331/4 Ricky can feel tough at times. Even Jbass neck can be tough.
Pics prove they even look huge on me. Sometimes the Pbass felt like a diving board strapped to my neck.
But the Starfire is the easiest playing bass I ever had. That and the SG played great, too, but the SG sounded horrible so sold it. Plus shorties seem to have no dead spots like 34” basses do.
From now on I think am only buying shorties. Why struggle? Starfires sound best of the shorties I have played. Super comfy to hold. So still waiting for a maple sunburst model to come out.
Still love my Pbass and Ricky and their looks and sounds but not gonna buy any more longscales.
