How much different does 30" vs 28.6" (Mikro) scale sound?

[focusbob]

The answer: 1.4 sound Please excuse a not completely original post; I haven't found solid answers to my question though:

How different do 28.6" vs 30" scale basses sound? Primarily asking about the low E string...

I'm considering buying an Ibanez Mikro 5 string to string E to C. I have a 30" scale bass but no access to a Mikro to try.

I can't find any comparison videos; do you know of any? Or, have you tried both and could describe the difference?

Thanks!

I've had several 30" scale and a few 28.6" scale basses (among the 28.6" scales I have the Mikro and the CNZ J). I string my basses with nylon tapes or flats. I haven't noticed any difference that I can definitively attribute to the different scale lengths. However, I find all basses sound a bit different so there is that.
