34" or 35" scale
« on: September 04, 2008, 04:15:50 PM »
I resontly purchased an Alembic Rogue w/no build record.Do you measure from the nut to the front of the bride to determine lenght or to the rear of bridge? My bridge is one inch and measures 34 from the nut to the front of the bridge. I will post a request for build info but that free service normally takes a while.....thanks
Also has anyone ever seen a Rogue w/32 or 33 scale?

We've made them in just about every scale length. The standard scale length is 34. To confirm the scale length on your own bass, it's easiest to measure from the nut to the 12th fret, then double that number.
