Long or medium scale??? Anyway ...it looks just as one of those basses used in early guitarplayer Alembic ads.

I bought a spoiler a few months ago and I am hooked on medium scales. I have short, stubby, vienna sausage-size fingers and I can actually reach across five frets on these necks. Once I've gone medium I can never go back! Mike P.S. Dave- thanks for your editting skills. matthew90046 Junior Username: matthew90046 Post Number: 21 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Wednesday, January 04, 2006 - 3:09 pm:    What a beautiful bass. It looks like it came straight from the factory. I bet it sounds even better than it looks.
