Short scale les paul style bass?

[ZeroTheExiled]

I'm a bass player but that doesn't stop me from loving the les paul guitars, i find the design really beautiful, that's why one day out of curiosity i decided to look for les paul style basses and to my surprise i found a few good ones:

With all of this said, I was wondering if there are any brands that manufacture basses similar to the last 2 as i'd love to purchase one

Are these Greco's? If not, there's another company for you.

Sounds like you're looking for new, but if you like vintage and esoteric: This is a Jolana from the USSR. Late '70s - early '80s I think.

Gretsch Jet Junior takes styling cues from a les paul. May be something to consider.

If you're in Europe or the Middle East, look for an '80s Gherson LP bass. You read that right, Gherson.

GIBSON LesPaul Bass or GIBSON LesPaul Bass

Hofner Club Bass and Gretsch Thunder Jet.

Kevin Ferner in Memphis makes a tribute called Cadet that is really lovely. Not an exact copy but clearly a nod.

There's always the Orange O Bass. It's less of a traditional LP style but I think it still looks pretty groovy

I would look for an old Greco or Tokai.

There’s the current Gibson Les Paul Jr. DC Tribute bass, for the Les Paul Jr. vibe:

I just love how these look!

Gibson Memphis ES-Les Paul Bass

Eko used to make the Kiwi bass.

Hagstrom has the cherry red Swede which I think is a sweet bass. It has a very long sustain and interesting overtones.

Except the O Bass is long scale, and OP is looking for short.
