Greetings!
 "Hi!"
Happy February all, hope you are staying warm out there. Just sending out a quick weekend blast to feature some interesting basses that have come into the shop!
We've put up a new Youtube video comparing instruments in a similar lineage - this weeks theme: The Great American Plywood Bass! This instance gave us a great opportunity to compare our instruments with classics that have come before.
Please let us know your impressions as we break in
And as always, the best is yet to come...so stay tuned!!!And remember, if you have a favorite video clip, performance, or multimedia piece that is double related you want to share with me (and several thousand of my closest friends), please eMail me at eroy@uptonbass.com. Thanks!

Three High Standards of Bass!
 YOUTUBEHere's a new video offering at our Youtube channell - SEE! Gary audition three plywood basses! HEAR! The tonal nuance as vintage, modern and future classics are compared! All three are featured below: |
1957 American Standard #2688
This classic from the H.N. White Company of Cleveland Ohio has landed in our showroom. These have been elevated to legendary status for roots music players and don't come around that often! Click on the picture for details. |
2010 New Standard Cleveland
 Here we have an example of the very popular spiritual successor to the American Standard, created by our friends Arnold Schnitzer and Wil DeSola. If you've been waiting to get your hands on one, please drop in and take it for a spin! |
Upton Standard Laminates
Here's our take on the classic American plywood workhorse, built to our own carefully conceived set of standards for tone, resonance and playability. Limited production - give Gary a call if this might be the instrument for you!
