This is purely out of interest.
First 2 that come to mind have to be Stanley Clarke and Paul McCartney.
Who else?

He was playing the bass *in spite* of the scale.
Still - he played it, so he counts.
My contribution - Allen Woody (he was all about the Gibsons and that means more than a few short scales when it wasn't a Thunderbird) and Mike Watt.

| I'm pretty sure the Epiphone Allen Woody signature bass was a short scale too!

The undeservedly overlooked, highly versatile and wonderful NRBQ, for over 30 years, Joey Spampinato's formula - Danelectro Longhorns, Silvertone/Dano shorthorns and now Jerry Jones basses, all short scale, strung with flats. A gifted composer, and uniquely great bass player. |

Other short scles guys - the two guitarists from The Greyboy Allstar's share bass duties and use a Mustang bass - and those guys lay down a serious groove.
