Medium scales

[Lightlyseared]

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.

Have a look at this and other basses by the same brand currently in stock at Bassdirect

Good shout! Must not disappear down the configurator rabbit hole…

The Squier Affinity Jag is 32” scale and has a 38mm nut width.

Cheers, might be a good mod platform. I thought those were 30” for some reason! I actually have a full scale jag as well.

There's a dedicated thread on medium scales.

 

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

This is also true for the current Squier Jaguar Classic  Vibe. 
The neck on mine is great for me.

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).
