As for the aluminum base is as strong as needed as long as it's thick enough material. Well, they even use that stuff to build airplanes.
This is all I could find on disc.
This is a MIJ bass, needless to say they used the same size slots cut for all strings, the originals did not. Check out the D & G slots.

Re: Bass Time!
The end stop is 3" x 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/8", all measurements are taken from the outside edge.
BTW, the bridge base is also 3" wide.
String spacing is rather narrow, 1 3/4" center top to center bottom. When I built the one photographed, I widened it a bit because the bass player was accustomed to a Fender. The narrow spacing feels great though. Just ask Mel Waldorf.

Here are a couple of pics that I found that might also offer insight.

Re: Bass Time!
The short scale, tight string spacing and high output pickups make the Mosrite basses an easy transition for guitar players, certainly at least this one!

Re: Bass Time!
Just a quick reference. If it's for the Ventures Bass (MARK X), that would be a medium scale.
If it's for something like the Celebrity CE-III Bass, then that would be the short scale .

make the Mos' of it, choose the 'rite stuff.

By most standards, 30" is a short scale for bass. 24.5" for bass borders on the ridiculous.

Re: Bass Time!
Ooooops!! My Mistake!! OK, I stand corrected. Judging by the Mosrite Spec Chart, I had always thought that the scale chart for a Bass was as follows:MWaldorf wrote:Dennisthe Menace wrote:Just a quick reference. If it's for the Ventures Bass (MARK X), that would be a medium scale.

Short Scale-------24 1/2 inches (from Mosrite Catalog Spec Chart)
Medium Scale----30 1/4 inches (from Mosrite Catalog Spec Chart)
Long Scale--------34 inches (not from Mosrite Catalog Spec Chart)
Xtra Long Scale--?X?X?X?X? (not from Mosrite Catalog Spec Chart) but this one has me confused.
I have found for the definition of Extra Long Scale Bass was anywhere from a "35" to a 38" scale ....??
So, all you Bass Players----please ed-u-ma=cate this 'lost' guitar player what the actual difference is .

Well, leave it up to Mosrite to go it's own way.
