Best Answer

The standard full size is called "Long Scale" or "34 in. scale", meaning that the strings measure 34 in from nut to bridge.

Medium scale is between 30 and 33 in.

Short scale is anything shorter than 30 in.

If your fingers aren't long enough to play a long scale bass, try a medium or short scale bass.
