Does anyone gig with a shortscale?

Yes, an Aria TSB 400 in the pic attached.
 

My first bass bought second hand in 1988.

My regularly-gigged MIJ Fender Mustang.

 

I like it because it is light, sounds great and is easy to play.

Had it for about 8 years.

Unintended benefit of a short-scale: it takes up less room on a tight stage.

 

I occasionally get out the guitar it has replaced; a 1978 Ric 4001, play it for a wee while and then put it away again.

I used to gig often with my G&L Fallout, before I thinned the herd.
Now my 32" Pbass with a Jaguar Squier neck gets played out frequently.
