I wish short scales help play faster 
Sure do like Mustangs. What truly interests me in short scales now (besides what I own) is the Gibson Les Paul Jr. Tribute. They appear to be in short supply. Had I not tripped into the Acinonyx I'd be rockin' a Gibson LPJT. In blue.

And a little expansion on this: If you're an originals band and/or in a concert situation, play what you wanna. If the audience likes what yer doing, they'll stick around. If they don't, they won't. BUT. If you're playing a dance type situation(bar, party, wedding, Barmitzvah, jury trial), and your 'employer'-or the guests-wanna hear a song, ya try to keep everybody happy. And maybe get a few more gigs.
I just found out last night that another venue for live music is gonna shut down. They useta have open mic/jazz Sundays. Then they cut down to one Sunday a month. Now, due to lack of patronage for all their music nights, it's gonna be sayonara.
Oh, well, say lah vee(sic).

I s'pose that would be good for practice to build up finger dexterity or ?, but boring to listen to or play. 'Course practice isn't meant to be 'fun'.
Here is the one I had a few years ago (would have kept it if it weren't for the narrow, Jazz Bass size neck).
Are long scale basses in long supply?
Lah vee!
That sounds pretty much like what the original player played on that tune. I think the part sounds much better in the context of the original mix, this guy was a monster player.

I got no problem with it. She does it well. The video is there to feature her not the entire mix...kinda in front of it all for that reason. It's a groove and that is what grooves do...repeat, repeat, repeat. For example "Cut the Cake", "What is Hip",etc... and she's cute!

It’s a nice looking bass, I’d want one in the classic translucent cherry.
I have a couple of Gibsons and the snap off neck scares me to no end.
Short scale doesn't do much for right hand technique, does it? The speed here is all about the 1/16 notes not the left hand fingerings. Take that away and it is not so fast sounding.
I just went on a Gibson rampage last month, picked up 4, 60's and 70's, EB-0, EB-3 and EB-3L and EB-4L, now I have to sneak them in the house when I get back.
Just to top it off I bought a new jetglo Ric 4003S, my bass buying days are over for at least a little while.Just to prove they could do it live:

Great tune. I remember when
Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)
was a hit, I thought he had his action too low at the end of his neck (ski jump)

Yeah, that is one.
It's to save space while traveling.
Actually, you'd be surprised how much 'bump' it takes to break it. My Non Reverse THUNDERBIRD is 53+ y/o, always a working bass, and, yes, it's had its issues. Still the best bass-for me.
It’s a made in mexico (MIM) bass. Not sure about the player.
Coulda phoned it in.
I suits the song just perfectly.
It is a good thing that there are no rules to this stuff.
