Ibanez Mezzo electric basses feature a medium 32" scale length that's comfortable for a wide range of players. These value-packed bass guitars provide a moderate string tautness that facilitates easy bends in the high register — and unlike some short-scale basses, the low E is never flubby, even when played open. Bass players know how important tonal versatility is, and you'll be impressed with this instrument's pair of Dynamix pickups — a hum-canceling split single-coil in the middle position and a J-style single-coil at the bridge. Custom electronics with 2-band EQ give you even more sound-shaping potential. For powerful, punchy tone, smooth playability, snappy retro-modern visuals — and big bang for your buck — the Ibanez Mezzo SRMD200K should definitely be on your short list.
