Please Note: Discrepancies may occur in the color of the instruments pictured. Monitor settings, screen resolution, lighting, and background all contribute to the latter. As each bass is composed of unique pieces of wood, there are inherent qualities in the wood itself which make each bass slightly different from one and other which must be taken in to account when ordering. All hardware and parts pictured are subject to change and availability. Upton Bass guarantees and stands behind the function and quality of all hardware and parts that we install on each and every one of our basses.
Upton Bass setups include:
♪ High quality, heavy duty
German made ebony endpins are fit
with removable metal threaded rubber tips. The stock Shen endpins do not
meet our quality expectations.
♪
Stock Upton Bass Bridges are meticulously fit,
carved, and tonally adjusted for each individual bass. The top radius of each
bridge is custom carved to meet the specifications of your playing style. Once
a bridge meets our standards, it is then branded with our logo. Adjusters
are installed at an additional charge of $50.00.
♪ English style grade "AAA" ebony tailpieces are
hung with Clef HITEC tailpiece cable. This lightweight, flexible cable
is stronger than steel! After-lengths are carefully calculated and
adjusted for the best tone.
♪
Stock Upton Bass Seasoned
European spruce sound posts are hand
selected and fit by us to ensure each bass reaches its maximum tonal
capabilities. Our sound posts fit 100%. No bevel! No domes!
♪
Ebony fingerboards are
dressed and polished to perfection.
♪ Ebony nuts are brought to exact tolerances. Other
than the bridge, the nut is one of the most important (and most overlooked)
aspects of your setup. Incorrect string angles can prematurely break strings
and cause buzzes. Incorrect spacing can make it difficult to play and grooves
that are not correct can damage the string as well as take away from your basses
tone. Incorrect string heights can not only make your bass difficult to play,
but may cause long term medical problems!
♪ Each bass is played by our staff. If something is
not quite right, it is done again until it is. Simply put, the level and
quality of service we offer is second to none!

A few words from our customers
about our setups:
I finally got my new bass
to my teacher, and he was very impressed. Some of his words:
1. "Man, that's a nice adjustable bridge"
2. "You've got a great tail
piece and cable here; this isn't the cheap stuff"
3. "They did a great job on the neck"
4. "That endpin is very nice. I'd like to have one of those"
5. "Those guys have really got something going on up there; I'll buy my next bass from them as soon
as I sell my Kay. I'm going to recommend them to my other students."
All in all, he was very
impressed with your setup work and the sound of the bass in general.
Thanks again for a great price
on a great instrument. At first I wasn't sold on the importance of the "Upton setup", but I'm convinced now that without it, I might as well be playing
cardboard box with strings stretched across it. This instrument
has inspired me to write and rehearse more often and more effectively.
You'll be getting my business
in the future.
