Upton Bass Boston Showroom - Upton Bass String Instrument Company

Located on the second floor of 1108 Boylston Street, Boston Massachusetts in the Fenway-Kenmore section of Boston. We are moments from Berklee College of Music, New England Conservatory, Northeastern University, Symphony Hall, Fenway Park and in the shadow of the Prudential building, just to name a few. We are VERY easy to access with AMPLE on and off street parking.

Our Boston showroom features a selection of vintage and new double basses. We offer our full array of double bass services; setup, restoration, repair, re-hair of bows and much more. On a weekly basis we are back and forth between Boston and our Stonington workshop, this allows us to accommodate any needs you may have such as seeing a bass that's located at our making facility or if you need any accessory item from our website at UptonBass.com..

We are open 3 days per week for walk-in's Thursday through Saturday 12-6pm, closed on Sunday through Wednesday, other hours available by appointment.

Please call us at 617-236-7706 with any questions.
