So, I’m not a musician, but I’m really interested in sound-making thingies. And, from the videos and pictures I’ve seen so far, it seems like the various members of the band who play bass always use short-scale basses. Obviously they sound great, but it’s a little surprising, given how common long-scale basses are. (Plus some people are really negative about short-scale basses, but I don’t get why.) Anybody know why Lucas, Joey, and others in Gizz tend to favor short scales?
They’re a good bit easier to play, so that’s probably why. They also have a different sound, which some prefer and some dislike; it may be that they prefer the short scale sound too.

On the “easier” thing, I wondered if maybe people who started with guitar would prefer the shorter scale to have more similar fingering. Maybe?
I was going to use this oppurtunity to showcase our “gear” section for each member but it appears Lukey is the least featured
