I have never had much trouble switching back and forth form short to long scale, lucky I guess. I was stunned at how well, this bass sat in the mix(as ilan states), near perfect at our rehearsal studio and the play back proved it. I did have to drive my Ampeg B-25 a little harder but this thing was punchy not thumpy. And what I loved about it is that the notes on the upper register do jump out, reminded me of a 60's EB3 in that respect. The neck is perfect no S curve, I have the action set nice and low. The frets are dressed nicely, hard to tell if the were dressed after the factory but if I had to bet I would say it is a factory job. The dot inlays look to be MOP or a MOP type plastic whatever they are they look stunning in the rosewood fret board. A few nicks and dings on the body but it is really clean and nice original condition, the case looks really good to ! All in all a really playable piece of vintage gear! Another cool thing is this is alot like the bass Dee Dee used on the first Ramones Records and shows.
