The Bostonian model is an evolving original Upton Bass design, it’s always been a large-bodied, roundback bass built with back and ribs of poplar, per our original collaboration with bass genius and educator Lynn Seaton. This lovely dark-finished instrument (varnish notes were “matte” and “almost black dark brown”) was slightly oversized especially in the upper bout – check out the “hooked” C-bouts – you can see some Kloz influence creeping in. Tons of presence, nuance and warmth.
