Just for the exercise: Framus Star (big semi-acoustic, candy-striped veneer, neck like half-dowel, action like the Forth Bridge) Baldwin Bison Rickenbacker 4001 fretless (had sentimental attachment, but poor design & no ring to it) Gibson EB3L (sold it years ago to my bro-in-law, but whenever I pick it up now I'm pleasantly surprised by it) Fender Precision (1957, pre-split p/up; still got: delightful) Graham Wheeler fretless (made by Sussex luthier; smooth & powerful, but the "omega" type shape gave me tendinitis in my left wrist) Fender P/J fretless (well, that's what it started life as; now got a large element of Heath Robinson; still got: suits me fine) Fender Jazz 5 Warwick FNA 5 (recently chopped that in on the Sadowsky; not sure now that I shouldn't have kept it; great design & build quality) Sadowsky MS5 (recent acquisition, still exploring it) Not a lot actually for 40+ years, is it?

I think I heard that Roger Sadowsky has a strong opinion about 35" scales - he's agin them.
