Thanks again for all of the advice, I am so so so so grateful. Apologies for all of my annoying questions.
relax, the softball questions are awesome haha

same as electric guitars you can get 3/4 scale basses (sometimes called short scale as well). normally a bass has a 34" scale length (from the nut to the bridge). the Artcore i posted earlier has a 30" scale, so a little shorter, and being a hollow body, a lot lighter.
