My bass has a 43" string length and other than a little minor stretching in half and FP it is just fine. This bass has a D neck which I prefer but I've played on Eb and those somewhere in the middle so it's no big deal. It just takes a bit of getting used to. There are many factors that make a bass comfortable to play. Overall size, size of shoulders, depth of ribs etc.
When I bought this bass, I never even thought about any of those things. It sounds nice to me and is very playable, so that's it.
