The Novo Ivorus Bass in Fiesta Red is a bold, vintage-inspired short scale instrument that blends timeless aesthetics with modern innovation. Built by the visionary Dennis Fano and his talented team at Novo Guitars in Nashville, Tennessee, the Ivorus reflects a masterful blend of mid-century cool and forward-thinking design. Fano has long been celebrated for his ability to reimagine classic forms, pulling inspiration from the golden age of American guitars while infusing them with playability, ergonomics, and tonal character that speak to today’s most discerning players. His influence in the boutique guitar world is undeniable, having shaped an entire movement of builders and musicians looking for something that feels both familiar and fresh.

At the heart of the Ivorus Bass is a tempered pine body, chosen for its lightweight, resonant qualities. Sculpted with front and back contours, it sits comfortably against the body, making it ideal for long playing sessions. The subtle light distress finish adds a touch of road-worn charm without compromising the guitar’s structural integrity, giving it the feel of an old favorite right out of the case. Finished in a striking Fiesta Red, the Ivorus turns heads with its bold, classic color scheme while remaining understated and cool.

The tempered maple neck is paired with an Indian rosewood fingerboard that features a 7.25-inch radius and Moto dot inlays. The neck carve is a medium C, measuring .830 inches, providing a satisfying grip that feels natural for both fingerstyle and pick players. A nut width of 1.5 inches combined with a 32-inch scale length makes for a versatile and punchy playing experience that bridges the gap between short and standard scale basses. With 21 Jescar medium nickel silver frets, the Ivorus offers a smooth, even playing surface that feels broken-in and responsive across the board.

Electronics are where the Ivorus truly shines. Equipped with custom Novo Jazzmaster Bass pickups by Lollar in both the neck and bridge positions, this bass delivers a wide tonal palette. From warm, round lows to articulate highs and rich midrange character, the Ivorus is ready to cover everything from soul and funk to indie rock and experimental tones. A simple control layout of volume, blend, and tone allows players to dial in just the right amount of bite or warmth without unnecessary complication.

The hardware setup includes a Hipshot A Style bridge and nickel tuners, ensuring reliable intonation and tuning stability. A three-ply black pickguard ties the whole look together with classic style, while 50-105 Stringjoy strings deliver punchy attack and smooth feel. The bass comes in at a comfortable 7 pounds 15 ounces and ships in a Novo Deluxe padded gig bag, offering protection without excess bulk.

The Novo Ivorus Bass in Fiesta Red is more than a cool-looking short scale. It is a thoughtfully crafted tool built by a team who understands what players want in terms of tone, feel, and vibe. With Dennis Fano's distinct touch evident in every detail, the Ivorus stands as a testament to how boutique craftsmanship can honor the past while boldly looking forward.
