SX Medium Scale Jazz - body size and general opinions

[25oclock]

Does anyone know if the body of the SX medium scale jazz bass is smaller than a full scale SX or Fender? I got two different answers from Rondo when I contacted them. I looked at the specs on their site, but I've read there is a lot of cutting and pasting on their website. Photos would be fantastic.

Any other general comments about the medium scale SX are welcome.

Thanks

Subbed for the need to know.

The body is smaller than a full scale. I'd say they're about 7/8 scale. They're a great deal, especially if you catch them on sale for $90. A setup with some good strings is about all they need.

Thanks! How's the neck compared to a Fender?

The neck has a Jazz feel to it. 1 1/2" at the nut. Not the typical chunky SX neck.

Love 'em.... neck is a little chunky.
I slap a neck from one of these V V V on it ... and it's a great $200 bass.

I own one.
The body size is definatly smaller, the neck is.. girthy.

It plays well enough, but it feels positively diminutive when coming into it from 34" for the longest time.
