Short scale bass

"bass guitar"...so this where it goes..

I have been dipping into bass recently, and basically only on short-scale. I was wondering if I should invest (if at all) in a bronco bass or bite the buck and get a mustang bass.

If I were to get a bronco, I would upgrade...but a mustang would be pretty damn awesome. I've played a mustang bass once and it was great, but I have never tried a bronco bass...thing is, Bronco is some $410 cheaper... any advice?

I myself play a modified Bronco bass and love it. There's always the old Musicmaster vista basses you could look into,

I've heard good things about them, supposed to be better then the Bronco at about the same price used.

The Mustang bass though is always a winner if you can afford it, played it a few times at a few different stores and every time they've sounded fantastic.

mustang, although jag bass's look better.

Jag basses aren't short scale...

Get a Mustang bass. Well worth the extra.

Worth even more if you can pick up a decent '70s example. THey go for about
