Cheers both of you and merry Christmas. I'll still attempt to try one in a shop but I think that the unusualness of the mid-scale bass might put me off in the final reckoning. Bar.

Hi and Merry Christmas, Looking ahead to January already, I'm hoping to buy a Yam RBX4 A2 bass as I own the guitar version and it's just right for me. They've now introduced a 5 string version, which isn't my thing, and a medium-scale (32) one to go with the existing (34) long-scale model. Does anyone have any experience of a medium-scale basses to know what sort of difference tonally and otherwise this will make and if it will be substantial. I hope to try both in a local shop but so far I've only seen the 34 model in all local dealers and the medium-scale may seem too exotic for dealers to risk stocking. The only info. I could find suggested longer-scale provided a lower tone and Yam UK's site "The RBX4A2M features a 32 ½” ‘medium scale’ neck and provides a tone which is punchier than its 34” brothers but still offers the same full sound, light weight and great looks", which is helpful but just a little. Thanks Bar.
