Best Answer

On any bass - acoustic or electric - the scale length is the distance from the nut at the top of the fretboard to the bridge or bridge saddle. The "A" string is usually used to make the measurement. I can't speak for acoustic bass, but bass Guitars commonly come in two scale elngths: "short" (30", some manufacturers use 31") and "long" (34"),

If you play electric bass can you play bass?

It depends what you mean... i know what you mean by electric bass but what do you mean by "Bass" If you mean an upright bass/double bass like thishttp://shannonspositiveimages.com/images/UprightBass.jpgthen with a few minor adjustments with the way you play you can.. To play an upright bass you need to use your hands all the time instead of a pick.. so finger picking is a NEED. Watch some youtube videos..
