Lightlyseared Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 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.

I thought those were 30” for some reason! I actually have a full scale jag as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 There's a dedicated thread on medium scales. The Ibanez Mezzo PJ is 38mm - they are great (I have 2) https://www.ibanez.com/usa/products/detail/srmd200_1p_01.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also true for the current Squier Jaguar Classic Vibe. The neck on mine is great for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
