Artsy pic my son took of my Upton:

Hey Ryan, good to hear from you! It is indeed the teacher you are thinking of, I have much respect for him, and he’s very patient with me! My time management definitely needs work, I’m a raging perfectionist, and to he honest no I’ve pretty much dropped down to a 3 octave warm up scale and this...

I must apologize if I implied in anyway that my teacher had any fault with my incapabilities, he’s been a fine teacher, and has a pretty extensive professional background. He mapped out all the fingerings in this piece for me, and we have in fact changed some of the slurs in other parts of the...

Sorry that last slur goes to an E natural in the next bar then goes into a different set of patterns all together Sorry let clarify I’ve been working on the entire piece for 3 months, I’ve been working on these 4 bars every day for about 2 weeks 😂. I can play none of it well, and definitely no...

I’ve been working on this piece for 3 months, religiously for at least an hour a day, taking lessons biweekly with this piece, feel like I’m getting know where and getting ready to hang it up. My garbled notes are the fingerings my teacher worked out with me, this particular section is killing...

Honestly I don’t know, for my case I didn’t care about the time length, I never really called or anything to expedite. I just wanted them to take their time and make the best bass my money could buy, and they delivered in spades!

I yep! 18 months was a long time but so worth it!!

I’ve been using EPs for a while on my Cleveland. I like them a while, these have that new twang to them, I’ll definitely update after they settle!

Bass arrived in one piece! Just got it out to tune and let it settle in its new environment. I give you the Geoff Chalmers/Discover Double Bass tribute bass! I wasn’t prepared for how lite it would be, and the action is good and low and still sings with a bow!

That’s a great looking bass! Maybe they can make it happen for you! On an aside I got email about 3 weeks back that it’s done done, I think they are working out the logistics of having it shipped down south. I’d go get it, but it’s about a 20 hour drive from where I’m at, and there’s not enough...

Hopefully it makes me practice more! 😂, it’s my Geoff Chalmers tribute bass, made to be a close replica.

My new Upton is done! (shown in video) Can’t wait to get it!

So the Athens State fiddlers convention was here in Alabama last weekend, and in the 6 hours that I was there I bet every 15 to 20 minutes I had some random bass player ask “What’s that Endpin thing on you bass?” and after trying it they all loved it! Maybe I helped sell a couple more of them...

I think the majority of my jazz listening education is coming from this one thread :roflmao:.
