I was under the impression mine was a medium scale when I bought it . The originals in the mid 60's were . But the reissues were 34 , and mine is definitely a reissue .
I mostly play shortscales now .
But I'm enjoying it .
Did a gig with some old friends a couple of weeks ago , the band does a lot of instrumental classics and the Samurai was the perfect thing . ( it's really just a very funky Japanese take on a Jazz bass that kinda resembles an upside down Ric)
Strung with flats , used a pick for the surf instrumentals .
The perfect thing .
