What should I pay for a Juzek? UB School Update!

Dave Anderson 3rd February 2024
New video just added to Upton Bass School - this week, Gary takes a quick look at an old Juzek double bass which might capture the imagination online but will be a handful to repair and own. See what a bass shop sees when one of these comes in! We've added this as a free preview in Upton Bassics when you join! Thank you to all who have already signed up! New videos will be added regularly to our Knowledge Bass series. For our free Upton Bassics subscribers - get used to weekly churn as we preview in new videos…

Double Basses with a Restoration Future

Dave Anderson 25th November 2023
Gary has pulled down some basses from the loft which need work but promise to be amazing instruments once tuned back to life! We've set the prices to include the full shop restoration, completely redone, down to the last cleat. The finished instruments will be tuned to precision with modern overstand and a complete setup that includes our remarkable Ebony fingerboard and world's best bridge. Be a part of the restoration of these century-old future gems! Gary can walk you through the plans:  +1 (860) 535-9399.

Lovely Vintage 5/8ths Juzek Double Bass

Dave Anderson 7th January 2023
This pearl of a petit Juzek is just into the shop! Has a 1968 Board of Ed. stamp on it, probably a new student bass at the time, has emerged unscathed a half-century later. A few little scrapes, but a really beautiful example of this likely German Wilfer-sourced fully-carved student bass. 38" scale length - bass guitarists take note! We have a few nice 5/8ths around here - give the shop a call! +1 (860) 535-9399.
