The Millennium Upright Bass I was recently asked by a player to design an upright bass similar to the violin I built for his partner so they could perform together with matched instruments. The result is the Millennium Upright. I started with a fingerboard of dense Carbon-Graphite and mated that to a neck of highly figured Bird's-Eye Maple. The body is a hollow tube of spun Carbon-Graphite and all fittings are black anodized aluminum. There is a fully adjustable endpin, removable upper treble bout and flexible chest bout. This is the lightest and most minimal 41" upright on the market, yet due to the Barbera Transducer Bridge and tight design tolerances, it delivers a warm natural upright bass tone and remarkable playability.
