sblueplanet Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I spotted a Michael Poller bass for sale last time I was in Glasgow. I’m unsure whether it is a 3/4 or 1/2 size bass as is displayed up on a wall at the moment. Is there any easy way to work out which size it is?

TheRev Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 There's no definitive size for 3/4, 1/2 etc, but if you measure the distance between the nut and the bridge, then around 41-42" will be a 3/4 and around the 38" mark will be a 1/2. My 3/4 Poller bass is 41.5" scale length More info here: https://www.gollihurmusic.com/faq/2-SIZES_DOUBLE_BASS_SIZING_FAQ.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassace Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 What The Rev says. My Bryant scale length is 40.5” and my Martin 40” although, surprisingly, it looks easily the larger of the two. So go figure. Anything less than 40” has got to be a half size, I’d say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
