Nor I, but she and the guitar are successes so no doubt they're hoping for the same with the bass. I'm skeptical.
Basvarken:
But why the medium scale? That will be a no go for many bass players.
Many find medium scale neither fish nor flesh...
Chris P.:
I love medium scale and I think it's best of both worlds, rather than fish nor flesh. But that's a matter of taste. And you are right: most people want a 34" and a Fender design. I guess they want to make a cool bass and they can't expect it to be a big seller. I can't imagien, 32"or 34".
If you see the design and you think bass my first worry was the balance. That must be the or a reason.
Basvarken:
The design of the St Vincent is heavily influenced by the Firebird.
The bass guitar version would be a take on the Thunderbird.
And yes, the Thunderbird had an issue with balance. But the latest versions don't have any neckdive problems anymore. So I guess a St Vincent bass could be 34" scale without neckdive, if they use the right tuners.
Granny Gremlin:
Because she appreciates the trouble other small-handed folks have chording on long scales. Medium scale is welcome over here.
