Looking for an Upton bass close to nashville to demo

The title says it all, I am looking to buy a new bass and many sing the praises of uptons. I would really love to play one before ordering and was hoping someone here in nashville would let me demo theirs. Any takers?

I've got a standard ply and my buddy has a deluxe hybrid. We are in Johnson City. Not exactly close but available if you're ever near town.

Their basses speak for themselves. My buddy's deluxe hybrid is the one pictured on their web site now. I have serious hybrid-envy.

Hey guys, UPTON BASS ALL THE WAY!! I am a proud owner of the Gary Karr Deluxe Upton Bass!! I've had it since it's birthday, December 4th, and to this day, I still cannot believe that I am the owner of such a FANTASTIC double bass!! (:

The enthusiasm for Upton is fairly contagious. Now I've given into it. Resistance is futile!
