The measurements are pretty much the same as a jazz bass in terms of nut width, bridge spacing and scale length. That said, I would really advocate trying one before buying one as they do hang/sit differently than a Fender. Not the ergonomic nightmare some describe in my personal experience but not everyone is the same... Perhaps one of the Warsaw music stores is a Gibson dealer and would have one? Or give me a shout if you're in the area. I've only seen one band with a Firebird guitar here so they seem pretty exotic locally. To me, the main thing is those 60s pickups so the Lulls are very attractive in my view. A sometimes cheaper option are the Orville tbirds that can sometimes be had from Japanese dealers/ebay, etc. The pickups are different but I still really like them. Cosmetically, I just like the look with the chrome better, too. Much like how the MGs and other British sports cars never looked quite 'right' after they went to the black rubber bumpers....
That part on movies, Maltese crosses etc. has been very much exhilarating
The sense of that history is a little less abstract in this part of the world....
but of course... going way OT (I have a talent for that...)
that was a cool movie. Same producer as "Das Boot". Sets were off the hook:

And I did have a Tokarev 
The Schmeisser was 'borrowed' from my neighbor. And there were plenty of pepeshas to go around (these were all authentic WWII issue on this film BTW - not 'dummies')
