Mine are 34 in scale , the reissue made in Singapore. I just put on a strap and raised both arms above my head , it’s perfectly balanced. I have Thomastik flats on the yellow one , the blue has some older rounds , I’m liking how they sound. The blue one is in surprising shape , one tiny ding on the headstock , and one more by the output jack. I’ve been playing around with the setup. It’s feeling really good.
I’m feeling very thankful that my name came up when it arrived in the shop. It did not make it to the floor. They just set it aside with my name on it.
These are mid weight , slightly on the lighter side. The necks are comfortable , they’re well balanced similar to a Jazz bass , maybe slightly more aggressive. They are fine basses. Fender style bridges , easy and fast to set up. They sound good. I like ‘em despite mostly playing short scale basses these days.

A blue reissue Samurai recently popped up on our local kijiji , initially asking a market price. Nobody moved on it. Yesterday it went to our L&M , the big music retailer in Canada , and a friend there called to say one was in and was set aside in case I wanted it. Very good price.
I couldn’t resist , and am very grateful that I came to mind when it came in. I’ll pick it up this morning.
