Pete Skjold builds fantastic basses, and his body shapes are deceptively small. www.skjolddesign.com. He does not do 32" scale that I know of, in fact I think he only does 35"; however, his bridge placement is so near the edge of the bass that the neck feels like a shorter scale to me than my 34" Valenti.

 

Tobias Killer-B has a pretty small body

 

No short scale, but I can't think small body without thinking Roscoe.

american deluxe fender jazz basses offer a smaller jazz bass style body if you are interested in the "jazz" look, but find most standard jazz basses to be a little on the large size.

 

Look at post# 478 small body and short scale...

 

Old Tobias basses...

 

Again, not exactly short scale, but a Sterling is nice and lightweight and has a smaller body....and a great neck.

 

For around $225 you can get an Austin short scale bass.

The one I had sounded good and played really well.

The rason I sold it was because it's body was samll compared to my other basses.

steinberger or a Hofner Beatle bass or any copy of one

 

Fodera Monarch fits the bill nicely. They will make them short scale if you want although standard is 34 inches...

 

Schecter Stilettos have a deceptively small body....full scale.

+1 i keep seeing them and thinking how tiny they are, my fav bass i own is my streamer stage 1 4 string, and thats got a nice small body, but again long scale still, but I'm not tall and i cope.

 

I'd go for this one, it's perfect (and expensive, I imagine):



I mean, it's 17'' scale, you can't beat that

Espero que hablas espanol

 

The Zon Sonus I own is lighter than some guitars out there.

 

Los ciento, hablo espanol un poco solamente... but I'd LOVE to find out more about the bass!

 

Well, you didn't state a price range, but if money's no object, there's always Alembic and their Stanley Clarke signature: tiny body, and 30.75" scale.

In a similar vein, how about a Status Kingbass? Very similar body shape and size to the Stanley Clarke and available as a 32" scale (albeit with the Bendwell thing stuck on the end).
