Upton Bohemian Hybrid 7/8ths, Opus 804

Dave Anderson 12th November 2022
This large-pattern Bohemian Deluxe double bass glows with an amber varnish and delivers a big powerful note. It's a hybrid build with outer veneers on the back and sides of finely figured Northeastern Sugar Maple. Nicely flamed Northeast Maple accents the neck and scroll. Other than the German Spruce top, it's a showcase of regional hardwood! Jack finished the comfortable setup with beautifully inlaid custom fingerboard markers. Strung with Evahs and with a Rev Solo Pickup installed, this bass is ready for any music stage! Upton Bohemian Hybrid Deluxe, Opus 804 Bryson
