You asked for it and Upton Bass followed thru, a blonde Upright Bass from Upton bass! Appreciating the look and aesthetic of our standard with the typical dark brown varnish, many of our customers asked, "Can I have a blonde version of that bass?" All the mulling over that we could give it at the shop we decided it just wouldn't look right...so we tried it! The results were astonishing and quite honestly the blonde is even warmer and more of a vintage look than our typical Superswing Bass. The SuperSwing Standard blonde double bass is a pleasure to look at AND to play. We promise if you're looking for a blonde bass on a budget you will not be disappointed. Thinking of an Englehardt Swingmaster upright bass? Let the UB SuperSwing BLOW you away! The same UB Standard double bass, except blonde!!! As with all of our standard double basses, strings and other upgrade options are additional.
The Standard SuperSwing is also available in violin corners see our Standard bass description for pictures

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? Something you don't see listed on our site?

The whole experience of ordering, customizing, and setting up my bass with Upton was a pleasure. Everybody was extremely friendly and helpful. I got my superswing with violin corners, reinforced build (due to crazy stage antics), and paint prepped. I wanted a finish that was a little more exciting than the blonde so i had my bass custom finished outside of the company. After I had it finished, i brought it back to them to do the complete setup. Everything is great! It plays and sounds awesome! I constantly find myself just sitting there staring at the beauty of my new bass. It sounds great acoustically and amplified. I've had almost no issues with feedback at all.
I highly recommend this bass for any of you crazy doghouse slappers out there. I'm unable to look at, or walk by this bass without slapping out a few notes...

It is a rare thing when you own something that every time you touch the quality takes your breath away. I can say that all truly good things in life are worth working and waiting for. The waiting is your part. The working is theirs, and they obviously take a tremendous amount of pride in what they do. If you are wise, you will stop looking and order right now.
My wife is a brunette, but my basses I will now take in blonde.

It's been said that good things are worth waiting for and that's the case with my bass. I recieved it 2 day's earlier than it was scheduled to be delivered. The shipping crate was excellent. The only adjustment i made was to lower the bridge a small amount. It plays & sounds wonderful. I asked for it to be made with lots of boom & it has it! I love it! I wish i had ordered it years ago. I highly recommend this bass and Upton company to any and all players if you are a beginner or a professional. Bobby Charles Bluefield WV
