...However, the JD is 35" scale, and I don't know how that will affect my playing.
That extra inch bothered me. I just noticed that I was able to play rifts much faster and cleaner on my Sadowsky than I was on either of my 35" scale basses. And I know that it wasn't just psychological since they was both really high end basses that I did the comparison with.
I will add that the last JD I played was a breeze to play and very addictive. So maybe I'm way off on this.
