Norton No. 01: The "Lawsuit Bass"

The very first Norton Custom bass. The bass started life as a factory-finished Shen SB100, which was stripped and refinned in a translucent orange. Black bridge, white binding and gold hardware contribute to the look, which was inspired by.... well, let's just say it was inspired by some old guitars. : ) This is my personal bass and a bit of a Norton Customs R&D "test sled." She's opened up beautifully and has a full, rich tone.
