Thanks

Great video - really helpful... THANK YOU

Been 30 years and never started a new cake; thanks!

As a cellist idk how u do it

Better to tune in fifths, with the bottom C string as a low B extension (Thomastik makes them) tuned up half a step, which gets you down to low A-flat. Fifths tuning makes the instrument sound so much better. I don't know how useful the A flat is, but the low B flat is quite useful, for example at the end of Elgar's "Nimrod", and also at the end of Chabrier's Larghetto for Horn and Orchestra. You need a fat string, and an extra long length. (Also really gummy rosin.)

Where Can i get a Bass wheel for 30 bucks? NYC

Sir do I order the rail system from you?

Sir hands down!! You did a good job! Where can I get those metal plates?

Huge fan of you sir ! Where can I I get the metal pieces to convert mines into a removable neck ?

Not sure if you guys are aware, but this video won't load at all. Pt 2 will load just fine, but not this one, it just skips to the end of the video anytime I try to play it. I've tried on several different browsers & devices. On your website the "Embedded" videos aren't there either, just the links to the videos.

Lucky me, my bass is microtonal lol. It’s somewhere between D end Eb, leaning more toward Eb. But definitely not an Eb neck; I got to play one of those last week, and the access to the higher regions was a bit easier

What year was it made?

Assusto este vídeo sempre

How much would say the standard neck thickness is at the first position? From thumb to the the top of the fingerboard

I'd think a fingerboard could always be saved by planing. Why wasn't this one saveable?

The best tutorial... I used it step by step with a fantastic result... everything looks perfect and the new strings sounds great... thank you so much for everything ❣️🙏❣️

Thanks, Upton!

Beautiful work.......

I sure hope method 2 works for a 911 😂

Great repair on such a damaged bass.

You said the face is thin, but didn't say how thinned where it's thin?

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.

What is the device that is used to keep the cable from slipping?

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

I repurposed a golf cart--works great!

Good job Thanks

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.

Getting close to assembly time!!! 🎉

I don't like that sound at all . Please stick to your regular bass .

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.

So many double basses in one room. It's beautiful

what was the other product recommended (that wasn't Linseed Oil) for cleaning/polishing fingerboard?

Will this affect the action in anyway way if the tailpiece isn't on properly?

Why would one remove the Extention?

Hi guys at Upton. Still can't find the in depth video that Gary made, would you help us find our way ? 😊

About time for a follow up on this wood.

The C Traeger book talks about wood end pins. Made sense to me. What the Upton position? Thanks

I can't find a video on how to install a tailgut, sorry, but I'm new to this and I have no idea how to put a new one. The double bass I got had none, it was non-functional. Thanks!

Very nice neck graft, btw what is the neck height projection measurement? Thanks

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!

Is it normal for the cord to make noise when you touch it?

There is an Abraham Prescott in Arizona Just an fyi

Hogy a csodaba lehet hivni a nagybogot, basszus gitarnak??

This is the best tutorial I've found on KZbin. Thanks a lot!

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.

Nice German style bow, buddy.

😂🤣😂 your list of things found in the bag, priceless. Thanks for this video! 🤗❤️

Superb playing🙉🙈
