Best Answer

If you mean the "scale length", (the dimension between the nut and the bridge) it is 34 inches. The overall length (from body to end of end) will depend on the particular model of Fender bass. Over the years Fender has made bass in a number of scale lengths including 30", 32", 34" among others. I couldn't even guesstimate the number of models they've produced! Maybe a couple hundred or more!!!??? That could be a good Wiki.answers question. You can pick up specifications on the new Fender bass models at their website.

A double bass is about an adult person in height, around175 cm in lenght, with the scale being around 105 cm (the vibrating part of the string).

There are different sizes, as the instrument is less standarized than the violin, so you will see some differences: e. g., some have a violin shape, others viol shape, some arched back, some flat back, etc.

34" scale = long-scale, 32" scale = medium-scale, 30" scale = short-scale.

the double bass is over 6 foot tall. Because of this, you have to sit on a stool (a tall chair) to play it!!!!

A double bass generally weighs between 20 and 25 pounds. The case generally weighs in at another 20 pounds, so keep that in mind when you're traveling!
