Well The Bass is In!!!!!!
Sound: Just what I wanted, Uber Growly, Deep Bottom, and wood-y, exactly like the deluxe, awesom bass for the cash
Playability: Set it up for 80% Pizz and 20% Arco, with TI Spirocores in Light, very very playable even for my Upright-Virgin fingers, fingerboard in immaculate, neck wood has plenty of wood grain that are useful as landmarks when trying to figure out where those damn notes are
Aesthetics: I got the standard so i was expecting not-so-pretty, i was wrong. Its got a rich, dark finish and the wood has some great character to it, the "ugly" poplar back and sides are stunning, although it is less pretty than the deluxe, its not $1000 in aesthetics between the two
Upton's Customer Service: Wow! From day one in the shop being educated by Josh, and ordering the bass, they made it extremely clear on what I needed and didn't need, and had it all in stock when I came to pick it up, and even showed me a couple pointers while i was there
The Upton Shop Bow: Havn't used it yet
Upton Deluxe Bag: Very Sturdy from what I could tell, with a huge pad over the bridge, and tons of room for bows, rosin, charts and tons of other crap, and handy dandy little wheels on the bottome
Pup: Makes the Bass Sound like The Bass But Louder
Overall: Couldn't Be Happier

Happy Practicing Y'all!!!!
