“Murphy” Bohemian Model Double Bass

This Upton Bohemian double bass was built for the pit!

We’re referring to the substage area musicians working on Broadway and touring musicals work.  Pit musicians need reliable instruments that can perform night after night for weeks on end without fuss.  The instruments they use must play extremely well and sound phenomenal, all while being subjected to ever-changing climates and touring schedules that can take them to all corners of the globe.

This Bohemian features a deluxe top for tone and a canted flat back for projection. Built as a hybrid with warm poplar veneers, a German spruce top, and a domestic maple neck. Finished with a fully gated C-extension, brass scroll plates, and rib bumpers. Antiqued a touch and rubbed out to give the charm of a bass a century old.  A great example of how the Bohemian can be tailored exactly to your needs.
