Default Scale Lengths on 6 string basses

Hi Ken!

I know you have probably discussed this more times than you care to,
but is there any advantage to increasing the scale length from the
standard 34"?

I've played both 34" and 35" 5 and 6 strings before, however there
are many degrees of definition that can occur for the B string, some
good, some not so good.

Seems to me that there are a lot of variables, body and neck woods,
string design, bridge design, etc. etc.

Can you elaborate on some of your thoughts?

BTW, very cool website.
