Looking for a short scale 5er? Hollowbody?

Well, how about both. Just found this on the eBay and wanted to see what others thought. I hadn't heard about this yet, so please enlighten me if this is old news. I'd think for a lot of folks that this would be something of interest given the Ibanez Artcore's price point.

I was looking for where it said short scale. A short scale b string would be awfully floppy.

Most likely...this would probably be a good candidate for a high c imo

Be sure to check out the great deal at Sweetwater on Artcore basses. Right now, only $299.00. Just received mine a few days ago.

It's got a 30.3" scale, although this doesn't necessarily mean the B will be floppy.

I don't know how it can't be. A low note requires the string be either long or loose or thick..
