Is a short scale bass easier to play?

Actually I think a 5-string is easier to play, if you start at the 5th fret it's like a 4-string.

What's that in your profile pic?

Yes I have a Yamaha TRBX-505, it's one of the most comfortable bass to play probably because of the neck profile and the small body.

I bought an ibanez mikro. Easy to play, sounds good enough, cheap. Just to record at home and having fun

I really love this thing. I wish that I had tried one 30 years ago.

30 years ago, we didn't have choices like we do now, and most players would try to convince you that short scale basses are terrible.
