Greetings!

Well here we are with our second Report and I can proudly say all content is submitted from people just like you!.  YouTube videos seem to be a favorite and it's no surprise as its one of the fastest growing media sources today.  With the progression of YouTube on gaming consoles, new TV's and even cable TV providers, more people are watching YouTube than ever before!

Have a favorite  YouTube videos, forum thread or news articles? If it pertains to the double bass, eMail it to me at eroy@uptonbass.com.

Bassists Still Need Help!!!

Low Notes For Nashville
http://www.lownotesfornashville.org/
Low Notes for Nashville is a group of dedicated bassists whose mission is to help our brother and sister musicians affected by the Nashville flooding. For musicians, nothing is more devastating than the loss of the tools of your trade. We  form a relationship with our instruments, forged on years of learning, loving, and performing together. Emotions are shared between the two, a bond that can never be replaced or reproduced. We feel for their loss, and hope to lessen the sting. Can you help?
 
Tin Can Bass?
YouTube
Everyone has seen the card board box bass...and last week you saw the balloon bass...now this week it's a tin can!  Don't let the beginning of this video fool you...keep watching.
Prodigious Technique

YouTube
Hi, Eric.
  I have been a proud owner of an Upton hybrid bass for almost two years now. I couldn't be happier. I wanted to share this video of Ron Carter as it is well produced and clearly shows his prodigious technique. Gary should get a kick out of this.
 Hope you can use it in the Upton Report.This should inspire a  lot of players to get  back in the wood shed. It certainly inspired me.
  Good luck and best wishes in this venture.

MILES MOSLEY "Voodoo Child"

YouTube
I first want to say that the Upton Report is a great idea. Can't wait to see what it has in the future! Here's a guy I'm in love with at the moment, his name is Miles Mosley and he does some pretty awesome stuff with the upright. Here's a link to a youtube video of him playing Jimi Hendrix's 'Voodoo Child'.
Enjoy!
