Hi, I'm not a luthier, and know little of such things but a 25.5" (or Martin - 25.4"scale is considered standard scale whereas a 24.75 - 24.9" scale is considered short.
FWIW - I DO have some knowledge of 12 fret dreads however,and I don't see why a slightly larger and more ergonomic body shape should deny you any bass.
Good fortune in your endeavour!
