Which budget short scale for slap?

[21niko21]

I'm getting to the point where I can play Claypool/Primus, but my hand really doesn't like to on my 35" scale...especially the bar chords.

So, I'm wondering what short scale might be the best for slap and might even have a Claypoolish sound. I've read pretty much every short-scale thread on here, harmony central reviews, etc. It seems the contenders are the Ibanez Mikro, the Cort Action Junior, and the Flea bass. I'm not really considering the Flea bass due to price and quality issues. It would seem the Cort might be the ticket because of the soapbar, but I can't find any vids or soundclips of it. Anyone have any suggestions?

If you can, play a Squier Bronco (30", 7.5 lbs). $150 new @ GC

You might want to try the Yamaha RBX4A2M (32.5", 7 lbs.). This is Yami's new bass with the knobs that light up. $259 new @ Best Buy

Thanks guys. I've read a lot about the SX too, so I am keeping those in mind. I'll re-read everything on the Bronco too. Didn't know about the Yamaha. I love my BB414 so I'll take a look into those. Don't know about the light up knobs though.
