32 in scale Black Korina/Canary G4

[Gidge]

Recently complete Black Korina medium scale G4 (4th Warmoth build)
Specs:
Body:  One piece black korina with Liberon finishing oil built to light gloss
Neck:  Raw canary with wenge fretboard
Electronics:  Bartolini 4.6 preamp with bypass option
Pickups:  Fralin vintage wound spit single J bass
Bridge:  Hipshot A style (Brass)
Knobs:  Wenge (from DKknobs.com - they are really amazing quality)
Tuners:  Schaller ultralight

I love this bass!  Sounds great and is the right size weight for my small frame and is amazingly balanced.  The Bartolini/Fralin combo is perfect for shaping just the right tone.  Overall, this is my favorite Warmoth project to date.....just need to find another reason to build another one.

Great looking bass.  What do you think about the smaller scale?  How does it feel compared to a 34"?  I was thinking of doing a short scale build but am trying to decide between a 32 or 30.

Most instrument shops, especially the Guitar Center types, will have Gibson/Epiphone EB basses and/or Gretsch basses which should all be 30" scale.  Pretty sure Fender recently did a run of either 30 or 32 scale Jaguar basses too.

There only medium-scale Fender solidbody I know of right now is the Pawnshop Reverse Jaguar; it's got a reverse headstock (hence the name) and two humbucking pickups. Access to the upper frets is limited, however, and it seemed heavy in weight when I tried it. It has a special bridge of some kind, too. It looks a bit like a "Fenderbird" hybrid.
Squier has a medium-scale Telecaster Special right now that a lot of people like.
