String Scale

[Bob Faulkner]

The change in note spacing closer to the nut is pretty much why I want to stick with 34". Even at 34" trying to stretch 5 frets is down right rough to do, especially considering I play fretless and I have to make the full stretch in order to have proper intonation. I see no reason to add to that pain. I've read that 35"+ gives you a better sounding low B. I'm with Ken in that I just don't see that small of a change in string length making that much difference in tone. Maybe if it was 38"+ I could see it, but I wouldn't want to play it.
