Hello all,

I am currently deciding on options for a Graphite Kingbass 4 string, I am used to playing 34" or 35" scale basses. I realize the Kingbass is specialized to a certain degree (which is why I want one) but was wondering if anyone had opinions on the "Bendwell" feature which brings the headless into the 32" scale. I have never played short scale bass and I am curious if it has an adverse affect on low frequency, fatness, feel etc.

Thanks for your opinions if any,

Cheers,

Simon

Hi Simon and welcome!

I play a 32" scale Kingbass 4 str. with BW and a MK-II 5 str. long scale basses, both headless.

Being able to compare both scale lengths I can not find any lacking in the lows referring to the 32" scale KB. The feel is excellent, I have also 16.5mm string spacing on the KB and it makes playing easier for me. That is obviously a matter of personal taste and I believe there are other guys on the forum here who can share their experiences!

Cheers,

Stefano

All the basses throughout the range sound and play lovely, it is just personal preferences, what ever you get it'll be fantastic have no fear!
