NEW NORMANDY ARCHTOP BASS GUITAR DUBBED “THUNDER STEALER”(2)

 
 
 

 “The sustain on this bass is an all day affair,” says legendary bassist Kelly Lemieux. “Because of the materials Jim uses it resonates beautifully.”  He also called the Normandy bass a “thunder stealer,” because of its chrome plating, beautiful design, killer sound and striking ability to steal the spotlight from the lead singer. 

The Normandy Bass guitar was created as a companion to the innovative, award-winning  Normandy aluminum archtop guitar, which debuted at summer NAMM in 2008.  Since that time, the Normandy guitar has gained international media attention, recognition and the support of countless musicians from across the world.  The creation of the bass guitar was a natural progression for the company; it is made from the same material as the archtop guitar and offers all of same qualities, only in a bass guitar version. 

The Normandy Archtop Bass stands out in the world of musical instruments for many reasons: It has an aluminum body and aluminum nut that magnifies its sustain qualities, its style and beauty is beyond compare, and it has practical features that are often taken for granted.  Lemieux explains, “It's as solid as a Sherman tank! You never have to worry about belt buckle rash on the back of the bass, you have to worry about bass rash on the front of your belt buckle!” 

The retail price of the Normandy bass guitar ranges from $1,899.00 to $2,229.00 depending on the finish. It can be purchased through www.musiciansfriend.com or by visiting the Normandy Guitars website.
