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.

If you're reading this and own an Upton, shoot us a clip or a pic! We love to see what your up to and maybe even feature you here in the Upton Report.

As always, don't hesitate to contact us with any questions. We love hearing from you!

Check out this awesome shot of our good friend Harvie S on stage with Kenny Barron! Bass looks sharp too! :)

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?
