Gary has been shooting a bunch of "random" videos for YouTube with his iPhone...take a look at some of the new ones!
Greetings!

Free is Free! (inside joke! sorry!)

Really though...Gary just walked up to me and said "send a quick Upton Report telling everyone that NEW Upton Bass orders get FREE shipping!"

Of course there is fine print, right?  so...
1)It must be an Upton Bass. 
2) It must be shipped to a freight center closest to your zip code. 
3) It must be to the continental USA. 
4) It must be for an NEW order placed between NOW and SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15th.
5) Instrument cost itself (not total invoice) must be over $4000

So...if you've been on the fence on ordering a custom made double bass, this is your time!  Give Gary, Josh or Eric a call to discuss details of this offer AND your NEW Double Bass!  860-535-9399

 

Drop us a line or call any time. And remember... the best is yet to come!

1780 Klotz Upton Bass
YouTube
In this video Gary gives a sneak peak at the newest model we are working on (our second of four new models in the works!).

We've been commissioned to make a "copy" of a 1780 Klotz owned previously by Yuir Golubev of the Moscow Chamber Orchestra.  This is a fun "little" bass that should keep up with the bigger boys in tone! 
UB "Concord" Model
YouTube
This is the FIRST of FOUR new model commissions we have been working on!  This is a "Upton" interpretation of what the Prescott workshop in Concord, NH would have been making today if they were still in business.  Taking a HUGE inspiration from 4 of the Prescott's we have had in our showroom to measure and compare, as well as the LaFaro Prescott, we have built this model as a solid wood flat-back.  From the bridge down it is VERY Prescott...with most of our tinkering done in the upper bout shapes and geometries to meet the demands of modern players.  This one is almost cleared varnish and we should be hearing it soon!  You can expect videos, pictures and plenty of bass porn once it's done!  Stay tuned!
