Members jasper383 Posted February 25, 2011 Members Share Posted February 25, 2011 "Standard" scale is 34", so 3/4 of that would be 25.5". I don't know of any 25.5" scale basses. The Ibanez Mikro basses are 28.6, and that's as small as I am aware of. My guess is 30" basses have come to be called 3/4 scale, even though the math is wrong.

Members bassman1956 Posted February 25, 2011 Members Share Posted February 25, 2011 No, 30" are short scale. Haven't heard anyone call them 3/4.3/4 would be shorter.Body size is part of it too, and most 30" short-scale will have a 4/4 body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators isaac42 Posted February 25, 2011 Moderators Share Posted February 25, 2011 My younger daughter has a 25" scale bass. It's a black, Les Paul-looking thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
