Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between these two basses?
The Pro EX uses a 35" scale length while the standard Pro uses a 34" scale. Both share identical neck shape, electronics, and hardware—the difference is purely scale length, which affects reach, string tension, and low-end tightness.
Which is better for funk and progressive rock?
Both handle these genres well. The standard 34" Pro is traditional for funk players, while the 35" Pro EX suits modern progressive and studio work where extended reach and tighter lows add precision and punch.
Are the pickups and controls identical?
Yes. Both feature EMG MMCS bridge and EMG P neck pickups with identical volume/blend and 2-band EMG EQ controls, so tone-shaping capability is the same—only scale length differs.
Who should choose the Pro EX over the standard Pro?
Players with larger hands, those needing extended fretboard reach, or session/live performers who benefit from the 35" scale's tighter low-end definition and increased string tension for aggressive styles should choose the Pro EX.
