My teacher recommended this bass to me, I am 165cm and female and several other people told me to get a short scale or a Mustang. Screw that. This bass is the best purchase I've ever made in my life. Yeah it's bigger than a short scale and you have to do a lot of finger stretching, but nothing beats that P-Bass sound. I also went to Just Music and tried literally all the other basses, including much more expensive ones... and legitimately, this was the best sounding one.
So there you have it. Get this bass, people.
