The mother of all basses is the Precision bass. About 3 years ago I made one.
Alder body, flamed maple top, maple neck with a pau ferro fretboard.
The pickup is a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder, Göldo bridge and Schaller tuners.
I sold this one.

Any advice from the sites bass making guru?

@deej The standard scale for a bass is 34" and for 35" for 5 string basses. A 36" is hardly ever used, some custom builders use a 36" scale for 6 string basses. The purpose of a 35" scale on 5 or 6 string basses is to have a tight low B-string, which usually has a .135 gauge. But that's of course a bass and not a baritone guitar. If I remember correctly the baritone guitar Mark made for Preston Reed is about 28".

@marcel One of my mates has a lovely Gretchen 30” baritone guitar and it sounds awesome..I also think schecter used to do a 30”...
yeah the longer scales for bass where for a couple of guys who play 6 string bass And djent and tune right down.. Unfortunately it never same to light and I never go to make one to see how they would sound. I think he got the idea of this:
