Dave is right. I own dozens of short scales, the E string is an issue on all of them if you are looking for a piano string sound with a taut feel, authority, punch and non-deceptive harmonics. A short scale E string, no matter how loud you get it, can't provide that, medium scale basses can't either and I even hear a difference in the E string of a Ric with its not quite regular long scale.
There is a reason why the world went long scale. And there is also a reason why a short scale bass invites you to play things that are not as E string based as on a long scale.
OTOH, I like tje character of the A, D and G strings better on a short scale. More expressive and musical.
