It doesn't look half bad until you see the bridge, that's rough lol

I wonder how shitty it really is? If the wood is decent and the frets aren't total shit it may be decent.

You could get. Red Sub. Those are 34-37”. Lots of dudes say their a solid choice, and are dirt cheap.

I believe the Harley Benton multiscale model is a 37" inch as well ? I know there is an ESP in a dark wood finish that's a 5 string in 37" , and Spector Dimensions are 37" in both 4 and 5 strings , but I'd avoid the 5 .

Other than those , I'd say that's a majority of them from my understanding unless you go custom bass configurations but even then Kiesel and Balaguer limit the scale length to 35"

Kiesel has the Vanquish that goes to 36" on the low side.

Do the Paul Gilbert three octave thing: G1, G2, G3 or even more wild, 0/1/2.

Trying to play the low B on my 37" 6 string is like those commercials of people trying to make a burger look bigger by holding it funny

It makes me sad when people fall for Chinese fakes.

I once made a perhaps insensitive, undiplomatic and unnecessary move of pointing out to this guy on some kind of Ibanez or general guitar group on Facebook that his JEM7V was an obvious Chinese fake. Needless to say, no poor schlub who's parted eff knows how much of their hard-earned cash wants to hear that they've been had, so he sends me a rather upset PM being like "um, excuse me, I bought it from [some guitar store]" or some rather unconvincing rebuttal.

I can't remember how I responded (probably placated him somehow because I'm nice) but buying something from a guitar store means nothing about authenticity - I once lived near this small independent guitar store in Leeds where I had a good rapport with the staff. One day I see this obvious fake burgundy JEM, so the next time I'm in to buy strings I point it out to one of the guys there and he picks it up, has a fiddle-around with the knobs, pushes down on the trem etc being all pensive and "hmm..." but just seemed quite nonchalant, and it was still there for some time after. I mean, they were only asking £200 or something but clearly it was a "never give a sucker an even break" thing as a struggling indie store. The place that sold the aforementioned guy his fake JEM just have been of the same mindset. It's wrong to me, but what can you do, eh.
