Greetings!
 "Hi!"
Just sending out a quick blast on a Saturday afternoon! We've added a short Youtube video of Gary carving the top of a bass we're all looking forward to.
Fueled on nothing but instrument-making passion and 5 Guys cheeseburgers, we're forging ahead with the hopes this instrument lives up to it's promise and heady inspiration.
This will become our first example of the "Brescian School" model, a large hybrid with deep ribs, a flat canted back, violin corners, and Kennedy f-holes on a Deluxe top - a tribute to the large beautiful basses of Northern Italy. Our humble cause: to string up this honker and rattle the floors!
We'll keep you posted as this bass is completed and bring you video of the results. Anybody looking for a big cannon of a bass take note!
Please let us know your impressions as we break in
And as always, the best is yet to come...so stay tuned!!!And remember, if you have a favorite video clip, performance, or multimedia piece that is double related you want to share with me (and several thousand of my closest friends), please eMail me at eroy@uptonbass.com. Thanks!
