I have been fortunate enough to build more than one of these, and this one was not only challenging but also a blast to build and finish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bass is made with a new old stock (NOS) H\u00f6fner body from 1968 that\u2019s been fitted with a 2-piece flame maple neck with a wenge stripe. Its ziricote fingerboard is a dark contrast against the body\u2019s white finish and fluorescent orange hardware pieces, which glow in the dark. There are also lights fitted inside the body with an on\/off switch as well as a rotary selector for lighting effects. A USB interface allows for charging the integrated battery. <\/p>\n<p>Other features include Heavy Horse pickups, Hipshot Ultralite tuners, and a 34-inch scale. <\/p>\n<h2>Novacorda Guitars 5-String Hollow Body Bass Photo Gallery:<\/h2>\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"carousel-sync-wrap\">\n<div class=\"carousel-gallery carousel-sync-main\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Novacorda-Guitars-5-string-Hollow-Body-Bass-Body-1000x667.jpeg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Novacorda-Guitars-5-string-Hollow-Body-Bass-Dark-1000x667.jpeg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Novacorda-Guitars-5-string-Hollow-Body-Bass-Fluorescent-1000x667.jpeg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Novacorda-Guitars-5-string-Hollow-Body-Bass-Fluroescent-Plus-lights-1000x667.jpeg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Novacorda-Guitars-5-string-Hollow-Body-Bass-Back-1000x667.jpeg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Novacorda-Guitars-5-string-Hollow-Body-Bass-Back-of-Headstock-1000x667.jpeg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-main -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-sync-nav\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-nav -->  <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-wrap --><\/div>\n<p><!-- .section --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, we\u2019re checking out a killer bass put together by Novacorda Guitars.
