The Upton Bass Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Travis says, \u201cMy Hybrid Deluxe sounded amazing right out of the crate and continues to open up and evolve. I beat it up on the road and it always comes out of the case in tune and ready to rock. The adjustable\/removable neck is the coolest feature allowing me on-the-fly adjustment and the ability to fine-tune the feel regardless of conditions. I still have my Standard Laminate and the difference between instruments is substantial, though I\u2019d be hard pressed to say which one I like better. The Hybrid\u2019s got more depth of tone and is \u2018quicker\u2019 due to the flat back but the Standard\u2019s clarity of tone and \u2018thump\u2019 make it the go-to for bluegrass jams and extreme conditions (like an outdoor festival stage at night in a 15 degree windchill blizzard). I\u2019ve been pleasantly surprised each time I\u2019ve taken delivery of an Upton, they always capture exactly what I want and deliver much more. As John Hartford said, just when you think it can\u2019t get no better then it does!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
