UB Travel Double Bass

Introducing the UB Travel Bass!

The issues of portability and transportation affect double bass players of all levels and styles.  We understand the difficulties facing touring musicians when it comes to weight and size restrictions. We also understand the desire to have a fully functioning, great sounding and inspiring acoustic bass to play once you reach your destination!   Enter the UB Travel Bass.  Over the past year Upton Bass has developed what we believe to be the finest removable/adjustable-neck option available for the double bass, at a price that makes it available to a whole new segment of musicians. 

The system was conceived with two goals - to produce a sophisticated evolution of our removable neck upgrade, and to develop a smooth and dependable adjustable neck function. We believe both goals have been met with many added benefits. The UB Travel Bass system uses an interlocking high-strength aluminum joint in the neck block which allows the neck to be removed and replaced with perfect fit and precision. The system also allows for direct, instant adjustability of your string height and action!  Using the hex key at the back of the neck joint, you can dial in exactly the string height you require for any musical style, feel or season. 

Good bye bridge risers! 

We have found the adjustable neck to be addictive - do you require a pronounced string action for bowing and section work one evening, only to need jazz bass growl the next?  You can literally dial up your preferred action between tunes.  For transport, remove the neck and pack into the included hard shell flight case.
