Upton Bass Onstage with Jack White! SCB on SNL
If you were up late Saturday, you may have caught Dominic John Davis playing bass with Jack White on Saturday Night Live – he played one of our constantly-touring Suitcase Basses!

Andreas Morelli Basses – Restored by Upton Bass
Two beautiful examples of “Andreas Morelli” double basses, both are playing great with recent Upton restorations! Andreas Morelli-labeled basses have a reputation of being perhaps a tick up from Juzek and being very good all-rounder basses. They have longer bodies than the typical Juzek and a longer string length. As built – and preserved as…
