Hello!

This week we have a cool shot of Harvie S and Kenny Barron on stage, Jeff Robert's 2008 UB Hybrid Standard as our customer bass-of-the-week shot, and good news for all you lefty players out there.

A Beauty from 2008 

Thanks to Jeff Roberts, proud owner of this 2008 Standard Hybrid, for sending along this week's UB bass owner photo. Looks like a great rehearsal space Jeff!

A True Left Handed Double Bass
 

If you're a lefty like me, you understand how much of a struggle it can be to find an actual left-handed double bass. Typically the the only options are basses that have had some sort of monstrous alterations done to them. There is good news though- we can make your UB custom bass a lefty for only  a small upgrade fee! Our lefty basses include:
  • Bass bar and soundpost are reversed
  • Fingerboard arch is directed to the left handed player as we would do with a typical right handed bass.
  • Tuners are reversed in a direct mirror of a right handed bass
  • Endpin key is reversed
  • For our advanced carved basses, our proprietary graduation patterns are inverted in a mirror-image of the graduation patterns we use for a right handed player. Where else can you get a fully carved upright bass truly made as a lefty?
