short multi-scale bass questions

Post by Alex Shroyer »

I do not own a bass guitar so to rectify that problem my 2nd build will be a 4-string bass, but with a short scale length for comfort and portability.

Here are some fretboard dimensions to start with link.

Any suggestions for fretboard overhang? I have no intuition how much a bass should have.
