Nope, 34"! Feels very much like a P Bass in a lot of ways.

I got hold of this Grabber copy dead cheap on eBay a few months back, and today I finally got it playable, so I'm proclaiming this a NBD. It's supposedly from the 70s, made by Melody (no serial number). Anyone know anything more about them? All I really know about Melody is that they were in...

I've only ever been in one band with a keyboard player and she stepped on my parts all the time. It got so bad and she was so unwilling to change that I switched to acoustic guitar and we dropped the bass entirely. That lasted for about a month before we kicked her out and I went back to bass.
