529: Upton Bass




Contrabass Conversations double bass life show

Summary: One of my all-time top interview requests has been to chat with Gary Upton and Eric Roy of Upton Bass. Eric, Gary, and I had a great conversation about the unconventional way in which they established Upton Bass, how the company grew from selling bass accessories to building over 120 basses a year, staying ahead of various online trends in the bass world, the story behind designing a bass for Gary Karr, the evolution of other Upton Bass models, the commissioning process, and much more.
