Hey guys, just wondering about your thoughts and experiences about the two. It would be great if somebody could take me through the pros and cons of each. I might get a bass soon that can go through both, so are there any combinations of both that work well? Thanks

I kinda' like the string through the body. Just out of habit I guess. Either way though, is ok. Personal preference. :mrgreen: American Standards are good for both. I do like the through the body, because it gives you a little more string than the 34" scale. It's not much, but it's bit more length on the strings.

Never had a string through body bass and wonder why Leo abandoned that design after a short period of time in the 50s. It doesn't seem to make much of a difference in tone or playability, so I guess it's really a personal preference kinda thing.
