Prototype for Joel Quarrington

This unique prototype was crafted for Maestro Joel Quarrington, who performed Bottesini on it right here in our shop. It is a loose copy of his beloved 1660 Maggini bass, and, like the original, tuned in fifths.

Future versions will feature some modifications, this original prototype is available now—a rare opportunity to own a bass designed for a true master.

Please note: Shipping for double basses must be quoted individually. If you check out through the website, USPS or UPS may auto-calculate a rate, but neither carrier handles double bass shipments—so these quotes are not valid. For an accurate shipping estimate, please contact us at sales@uptonbass.com or 860 535 9399. We’re happy to help you with all the details before or after your purchase.
