Greetings!
 "Hi!"
It will not be news to most of you that the Boston branch of Upton Bass has been around for nearly two years. Eager to offer the Boston double bass community the same convenient and readily accessible services as our Connecticut shop, Gary began brainstorming and plotting to make the Boston branch a full-time location. After much preparation and planning, we are thrilled to announce that our Boston showroom is now open five days a week! Located at 1108 Boylston Street, right on the doorstep of the Berklee College of Music, our Boston shop offers the same outstanding double bass services you've come to love from Upton Bass. Whether you are in need of repairs or restorations, bow re-hairs or new strings and accessories, or if you would like to audition one of our fine new or vintage double basses, Upton Bass Boston has you covered!
Upton Bass Boston will be open the same hours as the Connecticut workshop; Tuesday-Saturday 10am-6pm. The Boston shop will be managed by Josh, a former employee of Upton Bass returning after a four year venture west to pursue his art, with Jack as his right hand man for setup and repair issues, and Gary popping in from time to oversee operations. Need a bow re-haired? Josh has you covered! Need a repair or a new setup? Book an appointment with Jack! Whether you're a student at the NEC or Berklee, a member of the BSO, or a double bassist playing gigs in the city, Upton Bass Boston offers friendly and professional service and consultation for all your double bass needs.
Stop in and visit! We're looking forward to being part of the Boston music community!
Gary adds Facebook posts daily on our bass progress here in the shop as well as our adventures in the creation of a new home for Upton Bass! Check it out - your feedback is always appreciated.
Drop us a line any time. And remember... the best is yet to come!

Donald Gorman Double Bass c2003 Boston Campus This beautifully figures double bass features a hand-carved lions head scroll. We spoke to the maker recently, and this is what he had to say about the instrument: "The scroll was (as per tradition) done by a master carver in the Czech Republic. The machines were made by Greg James of Toronto. The outline of the bass is something that I'd been working on for a number of years. When the first of this model was completed, it bore quite a resemblance to a Piatellini but much larger. His basses were very small. The wood is Engelman Spruce form the B.C. interior and the maple is broadleaf from the Fraser Valley in B.C."We invite you to audition and admire the beauty of this fine instrument in our Boston showroom! |
