UB DELUXE Double Bass Laminated Double Bass Plywood Bass

Deluxe laminated/plywood version of the UB Double Bass Lineup.  Our BEST plywood bass.

The UB Deluxe Double Bass is, simply put, the best laminated double bass offered by Upton Bass.  If you asked us to give your our best laminated bass THIS is what we would make for you!  Core laminations of well seasoned Italian Poplar are covered in flamed Maple for the back and sides and Spruce for the top.  Unlike any other laminated bass, the veneers of the INSIDE (back, top and sides) of our Deluxe bass are matched to that of the outside, aesthetically and tonally bringing the bass to a level far beyond that of a typical plywood double bass.  The Deluxe bass is topped with the same Grade A ebony fittings and hardware as the standard Upton Basses.  Each and every Upton double bass is custom made to your specifications, and includes the full, highly acclaimed "Upton Bass Setup".

All Upton Basses come standard with our 42 inch string length and a D neck.  However as each bass is custom made for every client, we offer our basses with many custom configuration possibilities. Upton Bass offers all of our basses with string lengths of 42", 41 1/2", & 41"  All of our string lengths can be configured with your choice of a D or Eb (e flat) neck.  We can also make all of our basses as left handed instruments, truly crafted for the lefty bass player.  Five stings are also a common customization with either a low B or high C string.  Outside of our customizations we also offer many upgrades and add-ons: please visit our UB Bass Upgrade Options Page.  Do you have an idea?

The UB Deluxe Laminated bass is available in a variety of configurations (some pictures below).  The UB Deluxe Tiger Top has face and back veneers of quarter-sawn flamed Maple. This bass is for those of you that love the look of a bass with stripes! The Tiger Top is sure to turn heads at every performance both for its looks as well as its booming tone.  The UB Deluxe Tiger Swing is crafted from the same materials as the UB Deluxe Tiger Top, but finished with the striking Upton Super Swing blonde varnish.  The UB Deluxe "Super Swing" is our Deluxe Upton Bass, simply with the blonde varnish and the traditional spruce face veneer.
