Acoustic bass scale length

[Ajoten]

Having a muse on getting another ABG. Would prefer a 5er but my recollection of a previous 4er was that due to the relative position of bridge to lower bout, the neck effectively gets pushed out a couple of inches... When not looking at fretboard kept finding self playing 2 frets higher than normal when sat down. Did have a short scale ABG even longer ago that I don't recall having this issue.

 

Any similar experiences? Does such a thing exist as a short scale 5 string ABG?

Thomann have a couple of 32"/812mm scale 5-string acoustic basses, so they do exist.
