Description This 2018 Upton Bass Mittenwald flat back double bass is a perfect example of our high-end instruments. As always, built in our Mystic, Connecticut workshop, this double bass was crafted with a stunning set of bigleaf maple for the back and sides, paired with a tight-grained spruce top. The result is a bass that delivers both in tone and visual character. The flat back double bass design offers stability and projection, with elegant gamba corners and soft outside linings giving it a classic, understated silhouette. This instrument has traveled the world – from Illinois to Japan to Maine, and has been carefully maintained throughout its journey. The very gentle wear it shows only adds to its story and charm. Currently strung with medium Evah Pirazzi strings, it delivers a smooth, expressive tone and can easily be adjusted to suit jazz or orchestral playing styles. This professional-level double bass is ready to shine. At $22,500, this bass represents what we call a “Gary’s Bass” tier build, and it’s available with no wait time. If you’re searching for a Mittenwald model double bass for sale, this is your chance to own a serious Upton Bass, built to perform and made to last.
