It's a 35'' scale...and it's going to a good friend in Florida-the first guy with whom I shared a stage in Fl. two years ago. His main gig these days is in a mostly country band, and I've never seen him without cowboy boots and a straw cowboy hat on, so I thought the western flavor of the bass would suit him well...I'll be seein' him down there next week, hope he digs it! Thanks for the kind words!!
