Looks like a nice bass, especially for those who are more into the short/medium scale end of things.

Well, I own it now!  It is amazingly clean!  I always found the large body basses to balance the best as a medium scale, and I also don't have to reach like crazy to get to the first position.  This bass is very light for a Series I, and has outstanding low end and clarity.  Those two things are usually mutually exclusive, but, I have to say, this is the best of both worlds.
