short scale bass ( nut to bridge length)

[joshpman85]

Anyone have the measurements from nut to bridge for a short scale bass???

30" is standard, but it can vary

You mean you want to know what scale length is classed as short? Its 30" usally, 32" would be medium.

I bought a 2nd hand neck off ebay for a project im currently doing( under the assumtion that it was a long scale) lol. Was thinking of either modding the body i got to suit or build a body from scratch...

if it's fretted, then you can't convert it's scale...(unless you defret it...)
measure from nut to 12th fret that's half the scale your neck is.
