At lemurmusic.com They have awsome uprights there.
But when you find one that you want dont order it online. Try and find the bass at a music store.
Shipping can mess the hell out of it.

but no music stores in my area would sell uprights, and even if they did, it would be tough to bring it home.

King makes a pretty good Doublebass.
Most major guitar sellers carry these, although few will have them in-store
Try checking samash.com, musiciansfriend.com, zzounds.com, etc.
They can be pretty expensive, but totally worth it
btw, I don't own a standup. I've played several, but I couldn't justify buying one, as much as I'd love to.

As for the top of the line double bass by today's standards, Upton, Shenn, and UB Hawkes come to mind, and they run about $3,000 new, but older basses like Kay and Frank DiLeone can go for $20,000 EASY.
