In this bass guitar buying guide, we answer the question "what is a short-scale bass?" and review and demo 5 of the best short scale bass guitars from the likes of Fender/Squier, Epiphone, Ibanez, Hofner & Gretsch. As their name implies, short scale bass guitars are smaller and more compact than a traditional bass, with a scale-length of around 30". A lot of bass players prefer the feel of a shortscale bass as they have a slinkier, looser feel to the strings, and the reduced size means that they are also perfect for kids to learn to play on.

A reduced size bass also offers a pretty unique, very punchy tone, favoured by players such as Bill Wyman of The Rolling Stones, Jack Bruce of Cream, and Mike Kerr from Royal Blood. So if you're looking for a Paul McCartney Violin bass (as featured heavily in the recent Disney+ Beatles Get Back documentary) or you love the more lo-fi, indie look of the Fender Mustang Bass, we've picked of 5 of the best small and travel size bass guitars that will still pack an enormous punch in the tone department!
