I always thing Hollowbodies are best being Shortscale and fairly cheap, I have a Dearmond Starfire (with Darkstar pickups) and I love it, I've tried the Jack Casady and trust me did I want to love that bass but I just really didn't think all that much of it, other than looks (That is not to say I still wouldn't buy one).
I did try the 34inch scale ibanez Artcore, that was very nice and looks great, I'd look out for one of those for a taster.
I have considered the Lakland as well but just think it looks too modern for a Hollowbody.
