Instrument Inquiry – How To Buy a Bass!

We spend a lot of time talking basses at the shop – stop by, and you’re bound to see Gary or Jack talking with a bass player, helping them navigate the exciting process of selecting their perfect double bass. To streamline this process and provide the best information upfront, we’ve created a free video series: “How to Buy a Double Bass with Gary Upton.”

At Upton Bass, we are all about education. We always want our customers to understand as much as possible about how a bass is made, and what options you have. We have also started a series of string reviews. We even train people in building their own electric basses over at BuildBass.com

The “How To Buy a Double Bass” course is designed to help you understand every aspect of the double bass:

• Should you choose vintage or new?

• Hybrid or solid wood?

• What size is right for you?

It’s also a complete introduction to our unique process at Upton Bass, including an overview of our bass models and patterns. Watching the course will help us establish which of the Upton patterns might be the best fit for you and your playing style.
