The Sterling SS sounds the best to my ear but probably because it’s the only MM there so it sounded different and present.
Then the Fender VintEra and the Squier mustang sound awesome. I love the look of the Spector but not so much the tone. The EBH SS is pretty cool. Notable mention is the U5 that thing is just gorgeous and sounds great too.

I own 2 short scale basses: my Ibanez Mikro and the Gretsch G2220 and both are great for travel because of the size, but I don’t recommend them for much else. My go to bass at home is the one I call the Taxibacker. It’'s a Rickenbacker style kit bass that I built myself with some help from my luthier guru Terry, but I also own a number of other full scale basses like the Yamaha BB G4 and the 174. I also have an Epiphone Thunderbird that’s HUGE (Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue uses a modified T-Bird).

I was able to try the Rascal in a music store when I was travelling last month. It was great, I had to do a double take on the price tag because it performed above it’s MSRP.

I primarily play a fanned fret. Aside from the better tension on lower strings, I really prefer the ergonomics of it. I don’t have to twist my wrist as much on either side of the board. It takes all of a few minutes to really get used to it.
The only downside is doing chords in the higher registers and harmonics are a little weird.
You also get the added bonus of a killer optical illusion that makes it look like the neck of the guitar is twisted in some impossible way when looking at it from certain angles.

Like this angle? Lol.
No seriously, which one are you playing right now?
I agree the chords are not as comfortable on the upper register on the multi scale and I stretched mine pretty far but it’s cool. It looks much harder to play than it is.that said I would not play a Fretless version of the multi scale it would be a nightmare.
That’s a beauty! Features up the Yin Yang too. Concave back?

Thank you for all the advise you guys gave me ^^
Now after all the shops I visited and actually trying out a few bass (which was a bit awkward at first because I tried to play the bass like I would a guitar) I finally bought my first ever bass! It is so cool, It’s standard scale but it feels right when I try to play it ( although I only tried to play through the dots) super happy about it ^^
