Although mine is not a Ventures model, it's a '72 with a 30 1/4" scale length.

There were at least some Celebrity basses with a 24.5 inch scale, same as the guitar! Someone here had one briefly if I recall correctly.

How the heck do you tune down that far and not have the strings as loose as...you know, something old and loose?
