My knowledge of maths and physics isnt the best but I always assumed scale length relates to the distance between two frets (notes, harmonic nodes,whatever you want to call the place where you put your fingers on the string) I would be surprised if the distance between fret at F# on the e string and G on the e string on a 34inch scale bass is the same as the nut to F fret distance on a 32inch scale bass, if its even different by a hundredth of an inch, it will lead to interesting tuning.... jonny

I have listened to 'well (true) tempered' music and 'even tempered' music played on 'well tempered' instruments and I must say in my opnion that the music composed in even temper sounded bland dull and lacking any substance when played on 'well tempered' instruments. it did sound in tune though... Music composed for 'well tempered' instruments sounded better on 'well tempered' instruments. It would be good to hear these guitars doing the whole Baroque redone with electric guitars thing like Sky did in the 70's
