A new Upton Bass Concord coming to life, and it’ll be a beauty. Modified Gary Karr upper bouts, Mittenwald-style lowers, Busetto corners, and flamed sugar maple. Connected f-holes and a thin top keep the Prescott spirit alive. Still rough, but we can already tell how smooth and powerful the sound will be. #UptonBass #ConcordModel #DoubleBass #UprightBass #Luthiery #HandmadeInMystic #BassMaking | Upton Bass String Instrument Co.

C-extension, rosewood tuners, and a gorgeous flamed maple – unusual for a hybrid. This bass is all about playability and amplified tone. Perfect for the gigging jazz bassist who needs comfort, durability, and great sound through the amp.

Two seriously kick ash basses are in the making – and you can claim them. One a copy of the 50th Anniversary Gary Karr bass (started just before Gary passed), and the other a Brescian model in the making. Neither has an owner yet. They were started as inspiration pieces. If this speaks to you, it’s your chance to jump ahead in the Upton world. These builds will sit north of $30K, and we’re putting our best of the best into them. Let’s make something truly special. Get in touch, and let’s talk ab

Everyone’s been asking what Gary has been playing lately, so here’s a closer look. His current go-to is a five-string plywood Mittenwald-pattern bass with a low B, a high setup, mixed Spirocore Medium/Weichs, sound ports, and a handful of personal luthier tweaks. It’s giving him the dry, punchy response he’s been chasing. | Upton Bass String Instrument Co.

Available 2019 UB Standard Laminate in our classic "shoe polish brown" matte finish. When Jack set it up for for bluegrass he went all-in with Evah Pirazzi Gold Slaps, super soft under the fingers, plunky pizz, and a big full slap tone. We asked Jack to show that off because it’s part of what makes this model so versatile. It's currently strung with Spirocores, opening it up as a solid straight-ahead jazz bass, easy to play, durable, and ready for the gig. Come try it at the Upton Bass - it can
