35" Scale 4-Strings?

The 5- and 6-string Peavey Cirrus has a 35" scale. I'm not sure about the fours.

 

I just looked at the online manual for the Cirrus. It shows that the four-string is a 34" scale.

 

Would modulus Quantum 4's be considered cheaper? If so there you go. I don't think very many manufacturers make 4's in 35" scales. I always thought the extra inch was more for B's and improving tension. I think the Quantum 4's generally go cheaper on the used market depending on the upgrades than the higher model warwicks.

 

No, it's a 35" scale.

Peavey G-bass is 35" for both the 4 and 5 string. I got mine a few months ago and it has been my main bass ever since. The graphite neck helps here in humid Virginia. I stuck on some flatwounds to help tame the brightness and now it is a reggae groove machine. These things go for $2-300 on eba. Well worth it IMO.

 

Well, there you go. They have a mistake somewhere. If you download the Cirrus manual in pdf, on page four under "necks," it says that the four-string is a 34" scale and the five-string is a 35" scale.

So the manual is wrong, or the page you posted a link to is wrong, one or the other. Anybody got a Cirrus 4 and a tape measure?

 

Hmmm, I haven't checked my manual, but I'm almost 100% certain it's a 35" scale. Using the exact same strings on my two different basses, the tension is much higher on the Cirrus. Plus, I measured from the ball end to the nut on the Cirrus and it was somewhere around 37". The SIT Stainless Rock Brights don't quite fit properly on the Cirrus like they do on my Reverend, so I need to know if the Ken Smith Rock Masters with 38" winding length would fit properly, and I think they will.

 

Here's another pic of my Cirrus 4.

This BTB 4 is a 35" scale: http://www.ibanez.com/guitars/guitar.asp?model=BTB400QM

This one is a 34" scale. Probably to appeal to those who don't like 35". http://www.ibanez.com/guitars/guitar.asp?model=BTB300BG

Here's confirmation that the Cirrus 4 is 35" scale. Falling in love with this instrument has me looking for other 35" scale 4 stringers...

 

It is 35" scale, however, the new bolt-on Cirrus 4 string is 34" scale (the 5 is still 35" scale).

 

there is a 35'' fender jazz bass special (one p pickup, one j )

 

the Ibanez BTB series 4s are 35"

 

I'm curious why you'd WANT to do this... After all, didn't the 35" scales rollout, as a mechanism for fixing B-String slop on 5-stringers?

Without the B string, there's no need.

 

Schecter makes a couple 4-string 35" models. They seem more for the metal crowd though. But hell, if thats what your into they may be worth a look.
