Thought I'd bring this one around for a second look. One of the most curious basses I've ever seen!
Say hello to Hugh Norton's Wraith Bass.
The Tube frame is our most advanced frame. It consists of machines T 6061 aluminum, augmented with radial wound carbon fiber tubes. The use and application of these two material produce a depth and clarity unequaled in other passive pickup instruments.
This frame allows the user to tilt the central assembly (bridge, neck, and pickups) 27º± (for comfort and user preference) and move the pickups to suit the player's taste and desired sound. The Tube frame basses are unlike any bass on the market.
The depth, power, articulation, and expressiveness of the instruments make them a true pleasure to play. The Tube frame is available on the Python, Merlin, Wraith, Mephisto, and Skel basses. It is also available on custom-order basses.
Designed and crafted in the USA by Hugh M. Norton.
