The G&L website doesn't seem to spec scale length.
Which is it?

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure ALL G&L basses are 34".
I know all of mine are.( ASAT;SB-2;L-2500;L-5000;Tribute L-2500 ).

Who knows, maybe this guy has a one-off special order?

You would have to move the bridge back 1/2 an inch to do that. Doesn't look like it's been moved in the pics.

I really think they are 34 scale , I never have heard them being in the 35 category.

Mine's a 34" - G&L L2500. I think they all are. I have small hands and have problems with 35" scale basses. Part of that's probably from playing 34" scale basses for almost 20 years too.
