Are Jackson Basses good for beginners?

Jackson Minion basses are extremely popular among novice bassists. They have a short scale length which means the length of the neck is greatly reduced. This makes it easier to reach the first frets and easier to press down on the string because there is less tension. This makes learning the bass significantly easier.
