A short scale will not sustain as much, but the quicker decay is kind of cool too. It is a little more dead sounding like old stings, but some bassists love dead string sound and hate new strings. They think the finger gunk brings the funk. In general, I much prefer a lively roundwound bright modern sound, but I must admit that this dead sound of Josh Homme's 30" scale bass is one of my favorite bass tones I've ever heard:

The Fender P-bass is the most recorded bass of all time. When you think of a good generic bass tone, that's probably a P-bass.

A J-bass is the second most recorded. It is skinnier at the head stock end. If you have short fingers, that could be a good option too. In my opinion, the J-bass just does the singy soft harmonic stuff better than a P-bass. It is a little more dynamic in tone because of two pickups, but the bottom end of the P-bass is legendary, and the J bass just doesn't do that as well.

Here's a little kid playing a wide-nut 35" scale fretless bass. Your hands are big enough. It just takes practice.

Edit: sorry the Precision wasn't showing up on mobile brownser (iPhone)… really it's gonna come down to taste and your needs… the profile of the neck on the 50 is larger, jazz necks are nice and thin, the 50's P has a chunkier neck, obviously different pickup config… check out some jazz vs P shootouts and comparisons online and listen with headphones.
You'll get a sense of what you like but if you have enough swing both, have em both in your arsenal.

Last time bought the Mustang bass for $399 from them. Great deal as well but the color (Surf Pearl) was just not right.
Go for the Mustang. I have a P-bass and 2 Mustang Basses (Squier and MIM Fender) and almost always reach for my Mustangs first. But this is a crazy deal if you want full scale.
