    I'm still researching what ABG I should get. I play 35" scale basses, so I was thinking that getting a 34" might be an easier transition to make than going down to 32". But I'm not finding many in 34". Is there any real advantage/disadvantage to 34" over 32"?

    Michael Kelly has a Club Bass that has 34in scale. Epiphone also has a new ABG that has a 34in scale.

    There are a fair number of 34" scale ABGs. In addition to the Michael Kelly, there is also Breedlove, Martin, Ovation, Dean, Takamine, and Washburn, off the top of my head. Fender and Ibanez make both 32" and 34" scale models, as well.

    They did until they stopped production, anyway.

    Oh really? Hadn't heard that. Bummer... I really enjoyed mine during the time I had it.

    Carvin makes an acoustic/electric 34" that looks interesting.
