This is the original Concord bass. This happened while Gary was traveling to Copenhagen, where he won the award for Best Tone at the ISB. He had left specific instructions for a bass to be made—the first Prescott copy, which we now call the Concord.
Some geometries were missed along the way. The lower bouts didn’t get wide enough, and the upper bouts ended up a bit too wide, resulting in a bass that’s very square in shape. Despite these imperfections, it’s a fun bass, featuring a removable neck and a cool character all its own.
This bass has found its place in the Upton Bass rental and loaner pool, often called upon when a player needs something reliable for a performance or practice session. A great option for someone looking for a unique instrument with a fascinating backstory.

This is a great prototype with a plywood neck. It was easy to play and sounded clear and even in all registers.I played and gigged on it from June 22, 2018 until February 19, 2019, when my Concord Model was completed and ready for pick up. I wish I could have this bass as a second instrument!
