Bass of the Week: Novo’s Ivorus Brings Offset Cool and Jazzmaster Growl
This week, we’re checking out the Novo Guitar Ivorus, a sleek four-string bass in a Charcoal Frost finish with light distressing. Its offset body is made from tempered pin, while the neck is tempered maple. The East Indian Rosewood fingerboard has Moto dot inlays and a medium “C” profile. With a medium 32-inch scale, the neck is built for comfort.
Novo fitted the bass with a pair of Lollar Jazzmaster Bass pickups. Other features include a Hipshot bridge, Novo 18:1 non-locking tuners, Coronado knobs, and a deluxe padded soft case.
