Mo'B Bass
“The tone of an instrument originates with
the string, and the primary factor that controls string tone
is scale length.” — From Scale Length
and Tone by Ralph Novak.
Bass players that are looking for a B-string that is fat,
rich and full will find it on the Novax® Mo’B Bass.
With a 36” scale length, this B-string has voice definition
impossible on a “short scale” 35” 5-string.
The G string is sweeter too, because of its shorter scale.
In fact, the Mo’B Bass has 5 scale lengths so each string
sings with its own ideal voice giving the instrument intonation
you can put up against a grand piano. Using his patented Fanned-Fret®
system, Ralph Novak hand builds every Mo’B bass to have
beautifully balanced tone and string tension not available
by design on any conventionally fretted bass.
