Medium scales


Lightlyseared

Recommended Posts

Are there any production 32” basses around with a jazz width nut? Preferably something fast playing and passive with at least one humbucking PU selection. There seem to be a lot of shorties these days and the Acinonyx looks interesting but the tighter spacing at the bridge and the looser E puts me off somewhat.

There's a dedicated thread on medium scales.

 

The Ibanez Mezzo PJ is 38mm - they are great (I have 2)

I've got two 5 string Mezzos. Astonishing value for money and I keep getting positive comments from sound guys.

I am considering getting a Mezzo. What's the approximate weight?

Just weighed one if my 5 strings and it's 3.3kg or 7lb 6oz in old money.

I would imagine the 4 strings would be a bit lighter.

One of mine is a tiny bit over 7lb. The other is about 8lb

 

They vary quite a bit so if you buy new, ask the shop to weigh it first if weight is an issue for you (as it is for me).
