What are the different sizes of bass guitars?
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.
Does a short scale bass guitar sound differently than a long scaled one..or is it just the size that makes them different?
Yes, the short scale bass sounds different. It has a light, punchy sound, with less "bottom" than the long scaled one. It's a matter of tone. Play a low E on both guitars and you will hear the difference instantly. I use a short-scale bass for playing live because it's light, fast, and fun to play. But for recording, you really want the long-scaled bass.
Hol long is the diapason for a short scale bass?
The "scale" length of a bass refers to the length of the vibrating string and is measured from the head nut to the bridge. The "normal" scale length for a bass guitar is the 34 inches that Leo Fender used on the original Precision Bass in 1951. A short scale bass generally uses the 30.5 inches that Gibson used on the EB-1, which was introduced two years later. Notable short scale basses include the Dan Armstrong lucite-bodied bass, the Hofner 500 "Beatle Bass," and the Gretsch Broadcaster. Fender Musicmaster and Mustang basses use a 30" scale. The vast majority of basses available use a 34" scale length and most of the short scale basses on the market are student models. Exceptions include Rickenbacker 4000 series basses which use a 33.25" scale. Kubicki X Factor basses and early Alembic basses a use medium scale of 32 inches. The scale length of Gibson's long scale versions of the EB series is 34.5 inches, while it's Thunderbird uses the standard 34" scale. Short scale basses present the bassist with compromises dictated by the physics of the instrument. If the scale of the instrument is shorter and the string diameter remains the same, the string will be at a lower tension. The lower tension causes the strings to feel "floppy." The lower string tension also results in a note with a less complex harmonic content. The tone of the instrument will be duller and "thumpy" or "muddy." Increasing the string diameter to increase the tension also results in a "bassier" sound. It is possible to design around the limitations imposed by the shorter scales. Alembic and Kubicki basses are exceptional instruments both in terms of sound and playability. But because short scale basses are not popular very few manufacturers have dones so. A few professional quality instruments are available from custom builders, such as Landing Guitars and James Guitars and specialty manufacturers like Birdsong Guitars.
Can you convert regular acoustic guitar to an acoustic bass?
NO Bass is longer scale length and much more tension - you will ruin your acoustic. Flog it on Ebay and buy and acoutsic bass While the previous answer is correct to a point (a bass has a longer scale and more tension) I've seen it done by replacing the nut and bridge and using BEAD strings and tuning them to EADG.
How do you determine the string length of a bass guitar?
Size is measured in a few different ways. The width of the neck which would have to do with how many strings the bass has 4 being the most common. Also size is measured by how many frets the bass has. The more strings the wider the more frets the longer.
How do you know what scale length your double bass is?
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"),
What is the standard double bass scale length used in most instruments?
The standard double bass scale length used in most instruments is around 41.3 inches.
How long is a bass giutar?

Whats the formula for weighing a largemouth bass without a scale?
Bass length X length X girth divided by 1,200 = weight general formula girth X girth X length divided by 800 = weight
How can electric basses be so much smaller than Double Basses but have the same musical range?
The actual size of a double bass does not affect its musical range, but rather the darkness of its tone. What does affect its range is the scale length(the distance between the nut and the bridge). The standard scale length for a double bass is around 43", and an electric is 34". In order for the strings to be tuned to the same pitches, the double bass's strings are much more taught than an electric's to accommodate for the scale length.

How do short scale basses differ in sound compared to standard scale basses?
Short scale basses typically have a warmer and rounder sound compared to standard scale basses. This is because the shorter length of the strings on a short scale bass results in less tension, which can produce a more mellow and thumpy tone.
If the scale of a map is 1 1000 a 5 cm long field on the map has an actual length?
The actual length of the field would be 5000 cm or 50 meters. This is found by multiplying the scale (1:1000) by the length of the field on the map (5 cm).
