Upton Bass Venetian Double Bass, Custom Commission 2013
This very special custom Venetian model double bass was built from remarkable woods with violin corners in a unique design. It was built with extra accessible upper bouts for the soloist, an adjustable/removable travel neck.
Stunning flame and figure feature throughout the maple back and neck, with a long Venetian-inspired shape and long ff-holes.
