Series 1, Beauty with power supply

Thanks, matbard, I was actually interested in finding out more about this bass that is also listed on that site:

"Prezzo Su Richiesta" translates as "Price on demand", so you'll have to contact the seller. They also list a Distillate in a Stanley shape - https://www.mercatinomusicale.com/mm/a_alembic-distillate-mint-with-ohsc_id8247911.html

That’s an odd one that Distillate! Looks really nice.
If that series 1 is 32” I would like to contact the seller but I have no idea how that website works though. The Italian language doesn’t make it easier. See if the translator makes it more clear.

#80-1652 is long-scale, according to this older thread-

Ok thanks! Missed that. Bummer, I would be really interested if it was a 32". Bit worried about neck dive with long scale Point models.
But it seems to me that most Point or Omega models are long scale? At least the ones I saw.

There are plenty medium scales out there, you will find one :-)

Tip van Flip: Generally with this body shape the bridge is between the volume knobs, closer to the bridge volume knob and the tailpiece about the same where the 5 pin is on long scales. With medium scales the bridge is closer to the neck volume knob and the tailpiece above the 5 pin.

ok good tip Flip! So does that mean that on the medium scale you have less playing area between bridge and neck (because the bridge is located more towards the neck)?

Yep, about 1 cm less:
