Ten reasons to buy your double bass from Upton Bass...

The Samuel Shen SB80 Double Bass is a fully laminated Chinese bass, and in our opinion the best buy out of the two Shen laminated models (SB80 vs. SB100). It differs from the Samuel Shen SB100 Upright Bass in that it has painted purfling and a maple laminated top. It also comes with a lightly padded bag.

Simple, we guarantee you can't purchase an Samuel Shen Double Bass with a better setup and the upgrades we offer, period!

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 for free, a value of $50!

♪ 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!

♪ 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!  Strings are not included in double bass purchase.

♪ 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!
