How high can an upton go?

Just out of curiousity (since I should be getting my new upton bass in a few weeks) does anyone know how high a solo extension on the upton basses go? They come standard on all upton basses now so I'm sure theres someone with one or maybe even two! But I'm just curious how high it can really go as in what is the edge of the fret board.

Fretboard?

How high do they go? All the way up to the nut, I'd say.

Cool

Probably go pretty high if you find an olympic shot put
person to throw it for you

Why is it people worry about this kind of thing, its
enough work for most your career making the normal
range sound good.
