The Nuvo

Unapologetically Unique

The Nuvo bass offers a unique take on form and function. The design is exceptionally three-dimensional in terms of aesthetics, borrowing heavily from atomic era design. The tone can be described as deep and articulate with a strong fundamental and acoustic resonance.

The Nuvo Shortscale

"Short Scale - full tone."

Our shortscale version of the Nuvo is every bit as robust as it's big brother.  The perfect instrument for the traveling bassist, or anyone who prefers a short scale that doesn't sacrifice tone. The short scale Nuvo is expressive, responsive, highly playable and above all, way cool. 

Bassist/producer Nick Perri play the Nuvo bass. Built by R.hyde Guitars.

BODY CONTOUR STYLES:

CHAMFERED - A hand carved bevel travels around the instrument, varying in thickness and depth.  This is a great option if you want a high grade or exotic wood "droptop". Contrasting accent layers and veneers are also available.

AERO-CARVED - The body is fully carved to be as ergonomic as possible.  The carve of the top falls away smoothly, blending the player and instrument together.  *This option os not available for instruments with a drop-top.
