The simple layout of the volume and tone electronics with a soap bar pickup in the bridge position allows the player to focus on playing the music, not being distracted by too many sound options. The 30" short scale bass is less common, but its ease of playability and increased portability have made it popular among professional bassists since the 1960s.
