I like my basses big so it’s a no. But if you’re Prince sized it might make sense.
 
I just missed out on a local deal on a tenor I really wanted, so I've got rebound GAS. I might wind up with a bass, and will probably go short scale if I do. I like this one, aside from the aforementioned weird pup placement.
 
I play a big boy bass. A 3/4 Bass, re a doghouse, an upright bass.
Its my primary gigging and money making instrument.
I also own a Guild Starfire Short Scale.
I've also owned Precisions, Jazzes, and a Ric, along with several acoustic electric basses in my day.
And I can tell you that no electric bass will bring you more of the low down thump of an upright than a short scale bass with flat wound strings.
Plus being short scale, you can solo all day to hearts content with ease.
Make fun all you want but I guarantee you that "little boy bass" will get the job done.
