Fast forward to June 2020. I had seen the Ibanez Mezzo bass every time I went to Guitar Center and noticed that it was a shorter scale bass too. Technically, it's a medium scale bass (32" inch scale length), something you don't see that often.
I rarely buy instruments from the Guitar Center sales floor (for reasons I won't go into), so I found this one online on Reverb through Cream City Music. AND, I got it in a bundle deal for the same price I would pay for only the bass at Guitar Center.
Ibanez basses are known for their quality (in every price range), so I didn't worry that the low price would mean a low-quality instrument. This bass plays and sounds great right out of the box. Plus, with the bundle deal, I got a nice Gator gig bag, a cable, and cleaning cloth. I chose the Sea Foam Pearl Green color, but it's more of a blue color in person. There are several color options, however, if greens and blues aren't your preferred colors.
"A departure from the usual SR Bass design, the Mezzo features a Poplar body, 32" medium scale neck, and a B10 bridge for plenty of tuning stability and adjustable intonation. With its Dynamix pickups and Ibanez Custom Electronics 2-band EQ, you have full control over your amplified tone. This is an excellent bass all around for the beginner or experienced musicians." Cream City Music description on Reverb. Buy the bundle here for $299.
