Upton Bass serves a devoted clientele all over the world and can help you find a new owner for your instrument.  We provide archive-quality photography and exposure via our website and email list. Basses audition beautifully in our climate-controlled showroom and we can quickly adjust basses for prospective buyers. We have extensive experience with historic instruments and work with elite players while still serving the enthusiast and student communities.
