Opis

Double Bass & Cello makers, sales, repair & restoration of fine string instruments and their bows.

Gary Upton founded Upton Bass String Instrument Company in 1999 specializing in the sales and repair of fine string instruments. An accomplished bassist himself, Gary’s primary goal was to place into the hands of his customers the finest instruments possible within their budgets. From the first shop in Jewett City Connecticut, Gary began offering affordable instruments revamped with seriously upgraded setups.

In 2004 Upton Bass relocated to downtown Mystic, next to the historic Mystic Seaport. With the addition of Jack Hanlon and Eric Rene Roy, a formidable build and restoration team was forged with enormous flexibility. The “Upton Setup” quickly became known among working bassists for outstanding comfort and response. The Mystic location saw a huge amount of extensive restoration work, documented in great detail on the StringRepair site.

In addition to maintaining, updating and hot-rodding existing basses, Upton Bass began importing bass shells from Europe and completing them in the workshop. Every detail was examined and reconsidered - from bridges, endpins and saddles, to fundamental geometries, ergonomics and strength. All of these considerations would lead to the design of all-original Upton basses.
