Double Bass Verbal or Email Appraisal by Upton Bass

Are you looking for a rough value of your double bass? Maybe you have found an old Kay or vintage bass that needs an appraisal? Something you think is a priceless relic, or just want to know what you have? Literally hundreds of our customers email or call us with questions or send pictures of their instrument, asking for a resale price or repair estimate.

AFTER your verbal/eMail appraisal order has been placed – take very clear, detailed pictures that are sized under 1 MB each and eMail them to sales@uptonbass.com.

Please reference your order number in the subject line of your email. After your order is processed we will examine the pictures and contact you with our opinion on your instrument by email, typically within 72 hours, HOWEVER, some basses will require more time. With this service, you can officially say “Upton Bass said it’s worth“.

I should have done this years ago! Learned more about my bass and its relationship to the changing bass market in half an hour on the phone with Gary than I have learned in most decades. Strongly recommended!
