This is a 2025 Upton Bass Brescian, effectively brand new and just beginning to be played in. The instrument came back to the shop shortly after delivery due to a change in plans on the original owner\u2019s end, and it has seen very little use. It presents as new and meets our full current build standards.
\nTonally, this Brescian has a very forward, articulate sound while remaining smooth and controlled. There is a strong presence to the note, with plenty of harmonic content already evident, and we expect it to continue developing into a deeper, broader voice as it opens up over time. The response is notably even across the entire register, making the bass feel consistent and predictable under the hands.<\/p>\n
The bass speaks easily, with a smooth, responsive pizzicato and a clear sense of immediacy to the sound. It projects well without feeling stiff or aggressive, striking a balance that works in a wide range of musical contexts.<\/p>\n
As always, the bass has been fully inspected and set up by our shop before being offered for sale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
