Custom Instrument Inquiry – How To Buy a Bass!

We spend a lot of time talking basses at the shop – stop by and you are bound to see Gary and Jack on the phone with a bass player. There’s plenty to go over concerning the whole process of deciding upon your next (or first!) double bass – that’s why we’ve created this course, How To Buy a Double Bass with Gary Upton. (Live soon! – UB)

It’s a series of videos created to help you understand each aspect of the double bass – Vintage or new? Hybrid or solid wood? Sizing? It’s also a complete introduction to our unique process at Upton Bass and our models.

Please enjoy this free course – If you go through and watch all the videos, you’ll get a certificate worth $200 off your next double bass purchase at Upton Bass!* You can educate yourself, pick the perfect instrument and help to get Jack and Gary off the phone and back to carving basses!

Please take a moment to reach out to us and describe your dream instrument – we can help tailor any UB model to your needs and love to talk bass building – +1 (860) 535-9399
