Hi All - I'm a newbie to this forum and seeking some advice from all your experiences here.. I have finally taken the plunge and decided to order myself a Kingbass (my excuse being mid life crisis purchase...!). I visited Rob & Dawn at the Status workshop this week to try a few things out ... and here is the dilemma. I'm torn between short/long scale and the narrower string spacing. All my basses to date have bee 34" scale and I was pleasantly suprised by the 32/16.5 combination though I'm not sure longer term if I'd find any limitations (on playing style/development etc.) Do any of you seasoned players have any thoughts on pros/cons of the shorter scale and or the narrower string spacing or is it just personal preference. My concerns are really over getting my fat fingers between the strings..!
