Upton Bass: Professor Poplar Deluxe

Poplar has not been a common choice for recent commercial instrument making; however, Cremonese masters of centuries ago recognized poplar's acoustical merits. Stradivarius, Giuseppe Guarneri, and others used poplar to create masterful instruments during a truly golden age of instrument making.

The UB Professor POPLAR Deluxe pays homage to the master builders of yesteryear by sporting a solid poplar flat-back and sides. The Prof. Poplar Deluxe Double Bass produces a warm, lush tone with incredible clarity and projection. The flat-back construction and solid spruce top generate a remarkable immediacy in response-both arco and pizzicato. The sum of all the parts makes for an instrument that is equally impressive in orchestral, jazz, and solo performance. Collegiate bassists and working professionals can be required to play an incredible array of styles in many settings. With the UB Professor Poplar Deluxe Double Bass, moving from the solo spotlight, to the orchestral section, and then onto the smoky jazz club can be done with ease!

We're very excited about this beautiful new offering from Upton Bass! Please contact us with any questions about the New Professor POPLAR Deluxe Double Bass! (860) 535-9399
