So on to the actual point if you are going to learn bass as a bassist and not someone who dabbles for recording etc get the bass that feels right regardless of scale length, string width and number.
But I've been blown away by Ibanez new 32 (medium) scale basses.
Modestly priced, sound amazing, and very easy to play. I have two 5 strings and the low B is excellent on both
I suspect I'm a convert to 32 scale now.

Tried a few, but kept coming back to Short Scale Mustang and Gretsch Junior Club.
Eventually bought the Gretsch.
It feels great to play,
I'm a long armed 6 footer as well.... !!
The best of all bass scale lengths if you're coming from guitar.
When you work it out, you'll know why .

The £2.5K knockabout bass guitar!
I can spot over priced firewood made by a litigious eijit a mile away!

I don't play it anymore though as it's too heavy for my injuries.
