“Hull” Brescian Model Double Bass

Upton Bass Brescian Model Double Bass, 2020, Opus 203

This new Brescian was particularly rewarding to make, it’s a state-of-the-art fully carved version with exceptional wood – figured Spruce top and rippling Big Leaf Maple back and sides cut from the same board.

The new owner knew he wanted a premium bass from the start, but began by ordering a UB Standard Laminate to see if we “lived up to the hype.” He loves that bass so much, he ordered this one and had us match the string length so he can bounce back and forth!

This contrabass features our adjustable/removable neck system and the new Brescian pattern mods (see “Corbett”). Chris really made the varnish pop – a benchmark instrument if you’re dreaming up your own build…

  • “Hull” Brescian
  • Solid Wood Flatback Brescian
  • Upgraded Big Leaf Maple from the Pacific North West for the back, neck and sides
  • German Spruce Top
  • “Venetian” style Sloan tuners
  • Patented Upton Bass removable neck system
  • Angled endpin block assembly

“Tutu” Spalted Maple Concord Double Bass, Opus 220

Dramatic flame shimmers through the back and sides of this special Spalted Maple Concord (2202022). We bought the entire tree of this lightning-struck Bigleaf Maple from the Pacific Northwest. It’s already resulted in some amazing instruments and this two-piece back sets that bar just a bit higher. Travel neck and a rare last set of…
