The UB Willow Double Bass

At last, your chance to own a fully carved Upton Bass- the only of its kind! This double bass is constructed of willow (back and sides), spruce (top) and maple (neck and scroll), with the usual AAA grade quality ebony fingerboard, tailpiece, nut, and of course the acclaimed full “Upton Setup”, including deluxe ebony “Hat-Peg” tuners and Thomastik Dominant strings.

The sound of the UB Willow Double Bass is mellow, with roust dark tones and a full, even projection. When played pizzicato, the UB Willow Double Bass produces a warm, pillowy tone; and a rich, chocolaty-velvet sound when bowed. The UB Willow is one of the most beautiful double basses we’ve ever varnished, combining tones of raw umber and burnt sienna, and a unique snake-skin like pattern.

The UB Willow Double Bass could in fact be the last bass you will ever purchase! This instrument is destined to become a legend. Will it become a family heirloom, passed down through generations of double bass players? Or perhaps the instrument of a future double bass virtuoso, commanding a high price at auctions as it passes through the ages? The UB Willow Double Bass has never been owned, and has only been played a handful of times in our Mystic, Connecticut shop, and is immediately available for purchase. Be the first to own this astounding instrument as it commences its journey into greatness!
