About buying a double bass:
Buying a double bass is a very special process in which Upton Bass String Instrument Co. is honored to help you with. Whether the style of music you play calls the instrument an upright bass, string bass, bass fiddle, contrabass, standup bass,
bass viol, or double bass, you are looking for the same instrument...one with exceptional tone, playability, and power.
When looking for a double bass there are several factors to consider:
sound, playability, manufacturer, beauty, and dealer. At Upton Bass we're not that complicated in our bass selling method. The two biggest factors are quality and budget, and after you've determined that, the
basses sound and the dealer is the next consideration. We stress that you research our company and read the given reviews within our site
and many other bass related sites on the internet. As with many string instruments, buy the best bass you can afford
within budget. The nicer the instrument sounds, the more you'll be inclined to play it. That being said we never want you to over spend on your double bass.
Quality without compromise within a given budget.....we don't want to be your first call, but rather your last!
