Hyde Guitars has created a new full-sized version of the Nuvo. The sleek and seductive revamp is our bass of the week.<\/p>\n<p>Hyde built the new Nuvo with a full 34-inch scale and added a few improvements to the design. \u201cThis new version features a fully adjustable bridge,\u201d the luthier explains. \u201cThe body has been scaled up in size and thickness and incorporates a unique heel design. The input jack has also been revised and a second pickup has been added which is housed in a finger ramp.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For electronics, Hyde took the passive route with a Nordstrand 51P pickup in the neck and a Big Split for the bridge. It\u2019s control configuration is set up for independent volume knobs and a master tone. Other features include Hipshot tuners, wraparound 2-ply binding, and a wide choice of woods for construction.<\/p>\n<p>Hyde is offering the bass now as part of his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/683252072\/artistry-in-resonance?ref=user_menu\" target=\"_blank\">Kickstarter campaign<\/a>. Each bass is hand crafted by the luthier in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\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\/2016\/07\/R.-Hyde-Guitars-Long-Scale-Nuvo-Bass-Body-Centered-1000x667.jpg\" 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\/2016\/07\/R.-Hyde-Guitars-Long-Scale-Nuvo-Bass-Body-1000x667.jpg\" 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\/2016\/07\/R.-Hyde-Guitars-Long-Scale-Nuvo-Bass-Profile-1000x667.jpg\" 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\/2016\/07\/R.-Hyde-Guitars-Long-Scale-Nuvo-Bass-Vertical-1000x667.jpg\" 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\/2016\/07\/R.-Hyde-Guitars-Long-Scale-Nuvo-Bass-Body-Back-1000x667.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/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\/2016\/07\/R.-Hyde-Guitars-Long-Scale-Nuvo-Bass-Body-Angle-1000x667.jpg\" 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\/2016\/07\/R.-Hyde-Guitars-Long-Scale-Nuvo-Bass-Headstock-1000x667.jpg\" 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\/2016\/07\/R.-Hyde-Guitars-Long-Scale-Nuvo-Bass-Neck-and-Head-Angle-1000x667.jpg\" 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 --><\/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<h2>R.
