Upton Bass on TV

Our group performed on CBS this morning in Omaha. This is my 2006 "Gary's Bass" Flat Back Professor with a Realist into a fishman pro platinum eq into a mackie mixer DI'd to the studio's board. I didn't realize how cranked the bass was in the system, whatever, these Basses rock, I haven't played a better upright, in any price range, since I've had this Upton. A new Bostonion is on its way as well. Thanks Gary, you rock, the proof is in the pudding, so here you go:

Very nice, Jordan. I'm just up the road from Offutt AFB in Lincoln. Do you have any performances scheduled here?

In about a month, there will be at least two Uptons in Nebraska. Mine should be delivered around mid-January.

Thanks guys. Funny thing is I've been here almost a year and half and have yet to do an Air Force gig in Lincoln. We always to go small towns, or far away places like Minot, ND or Great Falls, MT.

Nice bass tone - almost sounds like a fretless electric bass guitar. Group sounds (and looks) good!
