Over the years we have refined our designs into models which reflect the variety and history of the double bass world. From there, each instrument leaves Upton Bass crafted and customized to the musician’s preference and style.

At times, however, we get requests for unique instruments or historical reproductions which fall outside the parameters of our model patterns. These basses may be a copy from an existing instrument or tracing, or simply a collaborative design where the musician describes a dream bass that hasn’t yet existed. We present here some of the exceptional instruments that have resulted from these projects.
