I’ve been playing an Epiphone EB-3 for about 4 months, and if I was sensible I should probably just stick with it - it’s a perfectly good bass for my current standard of playing (just started Module 8 in B2B). But of course I got the urge to look at shiny new basses 
and I thought I’d have a go with a short scale …
After a bit of looking around, watching/reading reviews etc, I homed in on the Ibanez GSRM20 - put an order in and just got it a couple of days ago 
It feels so tiny compared to the Epiphone! 
but it fits me really well I think. I followed @JoshFossgreen’s excellent guide to bass setup, and have been playing it for a little while now. It sounds a bit beefier on the low-end to me and feels easier to play than the Epiphone (though that may be “new bass” bias 
). I’ve still got to get used to the different dimensions a little, but overall I’m very happy with the purchase - it seems like a great bass for the money (£168 UK).
I’ve heard people change out the stock pickups, so that’s something I may look at in the future, but I’ll leave it all stock for now to get used to it I think.

Absolutely loving it thus far!
