That's right. It's a 32" scale but the "bum" makes it longer than my P Bass for example. If your gig bag or case fits a P Bass or a Jazz exactly, the Jarman won't fit.

That's what put me off getting one of these basses (I quite like the look of them). The body is long and the bridge is further into the body than a normal bass, so although it's only a 32" scale the overall length of the bass isn't shorter. If they made it the same shape as a Mustang with that tele headstock and that colour... I'd snap one up.

I know what you mean. I'm a big guy though I always feel I look a bit ridiculous with a small bass, like a Mustang. Somehow the Jarman feels really comfortable to me. I can have it hanging lower than my P Bass and I still get good access to the whole neck. I ordered in the dark and I wasn't sure I was gonna like it but I really do. The neck on mine is great!

So the neck is shorter than a J or P then?

I'm 6'2" and been quite happy to gig with a Mustang. Personally, I don't mind looking like a knob... which is probably a good thing really.
