    Great comparison video. I own a mid 50’s C-1. I’m pleased at how well it showed in your video. The UB is a very nice instrument. It’s a coin flip. Great video.

    When i played at the charles Mingus bass festival i played on one of these basses are I honestly really love the way they sound. I’m really considering on getting one for college I think it would be a pretty good choice to go with an Upton

    Got this tip from Chuck Traeger's books. Also - anyone who is using a solid wire/coat hangar tailpiece wire, replace it with the cable wire. The whole bass needs to vibrate and the solid wires inhibit the tailpiece from vibrating as it should.

    definitely thought-proviking. Especially when you consider some of these older basses going for $100k. And people are buying them! I have to think that many of these are bandaids on bandaids on bandaids. I play a 1967 Gotz hybrid. It sounds great, and has given me zero trouble in the 35 years of ownership. I often get bass envy, but then I remind myself that there are ZERO investments in high-dollar basses that will pay for themselves (for me). thanks for the video.

    probably good bass, but you need to have someone demonstrate that knows how to play. How about a bit of pops rosin on that bow. All I hear is scratch and thin flakey tone. Sorry! being honest.

    why don't you ever give examples of fine orchestral basses being played with a bow? Plenty of videos but no demonstrations.

    I came here today to look for details on the double upright bass. I found a neck @ Salvation Army last week and want to build a non-standard body from a cojon (wood box drum) and add a bass drum pedal for a fun party instrument. The Upton is a beautiful instrument and I am glad I found you today!

    By far the best pickup Ive tried without the need for an extra microphone. Sounds incredibly transparent through my Acoustic image, will buy another one for my other bass.

Your instructions to a young man from White Plains @ 1974-1975 allowed me to list musian on my W-2 forms from 1975 to 2001. Thank you. Hopefully you are still well and thriving. Probably not the right forum. I still make mistakes.
