Great instruments don't simply support the music; they become an extension of the player who picks them up. Available now at Haggerty's Music, this handcrafted Novo Signature Series Ivorus Bass embodies Dennis Fano's unmistakable approach to boutique instrument design, blending vintage inspiration with modern craftsmanship in a bass that is equal parts workhorse and work of art. Finished in the stunning Silver Tone Burst over Bonfire with tasteful medium distressing, it possesses the character of a cherished vintage instrument while delivering the precision and reliability today's musicians demand. A Novo Deluxe Padded Soft Case is included.

Built around a tempered pine body and paired with a tempered maple neck, the Ivorus offers an incredibly lively and resonant playing experience with remarkable balance and comfort. The 32-inch medium scale provides a perfect middle ground between the snap of a long-scale bass and the effortless feel of a short-scale instrument, making it equally inviting for fingerstyle grooves, pick-driven rock, and melodic solo work. An African Blackwood fingerboard with elegant white binding, Mother of Toilet (MOTO) block inlays, and a comfortable Medium "C" neck profile further elevate the playing experience with boutique attention to detail throughout.

The electronics are every bit as distinctive as the instrument's appearance. A Novo Split-Coil Staple JM by Lollar in the neck position delivers warm, punchy fundamentals with exceptional clarity, while the Novo Dual-Coil Staple JM by Lollar bridge pickup adds articulation, growl, and focused midrange presence. Independent volume, blend, and tone controls provide a remarkably wide tonal palette, allowing the Ivorus to move effortlessly from vintage-inspired thump to modern clarity without sacrificing its unique personality.

Premium appointments complete this exceptional build, including a MannMade Hipshot A-Style bridge, Novo Vintage open-gear tuners with oversized buttons, a Spitfire tortoiseshell pickguard, and Stringjoy strings installed from the factory. Designed and handcrafted under the direction of Dennis Fano, and signed by the Novo founder, this Signature Series Ivorus Bass represents boutique American craftsmanship at its finest, offering inspiring tone, unmistakable style, and exceptional playability for discerning bassists who appreciate instruments with both soul and substance.
