A Upton Hybrid hit the classifieds in the LA, CA area.  This looks like one of the European ones using our body design.
Greetings!

Feed back on last weeks The Upton Report was great! Thank you so much!

I'm going to get on my soap box now and use this space to talk to you about humidifying your instrument.  The temps are dropping, the heat is on and the relative humidity of the room your instrument is in is fluctuating like crazy.  I did a few YouTube videos talking about humidity control and if you want to see what we have to say, just click here! There are two videos at the bottom are worth a watch...and if you happen to buy a humidifier while your there...thanks!  ;)

So...without further ado, I bring you some Friday night double bass goodness!

And remember...if you have ANY links, news, videos, etc. you want to share, eMail it to me at eroy@uptonbass.com and I'll be sure to share it.  Oh...and if you just want to say "Hi" you can do that too!

Have a nice weekend!

Eric,

In the "back at you" mode - I want to introduce you to Christopher Williams, who is pretty far out there himself. I heard him play (solo) here in LA and saw him again in Berlin. Total amazing; rethinking the potential and purpose of the instrument.

Eric,
     Here is something wild to consider for next week.  My daughter emailed it to me. It's a guy who took apart a piano and somehow attached it to bass strings. It's like a piano-bass!
