Homer's Bass

[Eric Swanson]

Ken, how about Lew Norton's bass? He may still have it, for all I know, after retiring.

The bass I remember seeing at lessons and playing (briefly in '79/'80) had a dark brown varnish and a nicely flamed neck, made from matched pieces of maple, laminated, so that the joint showed on the back (where the thumb goes).

Ken, do you know this bass, as a former student of Lew Norton's?
