"WOW! I could sleep next to my amp. I could discern no noise related to whether or not I was touching the strings (which is still the case with the Fender). At comparable output levels, the Birdsong was noticeably quieter."
"The balance is impeccable. I've never strapped on a bass that didn't have some headstock heaviness until now. My left hand no longer has to help prop up the guitar while I play. I'm sure that will take some stress out of my shoulder as well."

From the Harmony-Central review of this bass.
I have noticed that I don't have to tune the bass nearly as often as any other bass I've owned. It also generally
seems well-built. It sounds a lot better than a Fender active or passive that I have owned. It sounds better than my Yamaha, or my 1960s EBO.
Customer Support: 10
Dealing with the company was a breeze! The company owners managed to get it to me before Christmas, when I knew I was ordering it during the busiest time of the year. The owners even gave me their cell phone number so that I could call them to let them know that the bass had arrived!
Overall Rating: 10
When I received the Birdsong, I gave away my Fender to a friend who is just learning to play...

I'm very impressed with the Cortobass. As I read from other testimonies from owners of the Cortobass, I must agree with them in the smoothness of the feel of the neck... the sounds that one can create are numerous and pleasing to the ear. The guys I'm playing with can hear the difference in the Corto and the Fender bass I used to play and now is retired in my closet.
The look of the Corto ranks up there with the most expensive of guitars. Today I showed the Cortobass to (a local music store)... (they) said there are many short scale basses on the market but the Corto was the best he's ever heard. Another sales worker said the look and sound of the Corto Bass ranks up in the $3000 to $5000 range, which assured me even more about my decision in buying the Cortobass (before you raise the price).

"...a great little bass. Right on the
money with balance, tone, looks. This bass is extremely well built, light weight and comfortable to
play. I was initially uncertain that a bass with one pickup and no tone control could give me the tonal colors that my gigs required, but I
have since found that this bass allows me to pull the tones from it by
altering
playing positions and styles. It’s fast on the neck and very articulate
at the
plucking spot over the pickup. I
pluck, tap, thump, strum and hammer all over the instrument to bring out different tones
and emphasize overtones that I am listening for.
Any person who is consciously aware of
improving their MUSICIANSHIP
will do so using a Birdsong one pickup, passive, strings-thru-body without a tone control.
No technical gear to mess with,
just great bass tones.

Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of Birdsong Guitars. I could not have made a better choice in purchasing the "Cortobass" bass guitar. To tell you the truth, I knew it immediately after seeing the website that I was going to purchase the bass before I even saw it in person. It just seemed so right for me and I know it will be for many other musicians out there.
I could go on and on and can't say enough how awesome I think you guys are from your hospitality and kindness to your gifted ability to creating such a beautiful instrument. My confidence as a bass player has shot through the roof and can't wait to show off my new "Cortobass". Know that 4C1-009 has a happy new home and will be well taken care of. I love it!!!

You did a real nice job on the bass, I'm really happy with it. It is quite a bit lighter than what I'm used to so it's taking some getting used to. All in all, it's a very nice bass, fits me real well and you've been a pleasure to deal with. I wish this happened 25 years ago when I was slinging that Stingray 5 nights a week. If you run into any need for references I'd be glad give you one.

A final letter of thanks for a job well done. The Cortobass that you built for me is an absolutely sensational treat for
all my senses. The feel, the looks, the voice, even the smell is a delight each time that I pick it up and play. I feel like a kid with a new toy that I can’t get enough of. The sound and the range of sounds that I can produce playing this instrument continually amaze me. The sustain is the most powerful of most any bass that I have owned or remember playing. It is a super lightweight, yet has a feeling of roadworthiness that I never experienced before in a lightweight.
And its appearance is so unique – the body shape, the head, the colors – ah the colors! The blonds and the hint-of-green tints along with the dark woods work together so complementary. The woodwork and finish is so gorgeous. You are to be complemented as a craftsman, an artist, and an engineer. Your product is of eloquent design, high workmanship, and unmatched performance. To me, it is every bit, and more than advertised!

"The Cortobass is really great, great tone, great sound, great look, you did outstanding work. It is exactly what I expected, the light weight, the smooth feeling of the neck, the woodwork and blackwashed finish, the short scale for my short hands that is truly pleasant for my shoulders!!!
I "love" the sustain, the palette of tones... The others guys in my band said it sounds better through the mix than my active Music Man Sterling, that is exactly what I think too. You have built a masterpiece... I am proud to be a Cortobass owner. Thanks again for your labor and your kindness."

"My guitar arrived in perfect shape. You did a great job of packing it!! I can't say enough about it. It's more than I expected in every way. Even opening the case for the first time, gave off the sweet aroma of fine woodworking.
It aroused all the senses!!
The best part of course is the way it is balanced, the silky smooth back of the neck, the size of the neck (all the way up and down), the placement of the jack on the back (optional), the placement of the strap connections, the shape of the body (making it easy to play without tiring) and of course the tone is everything I imagined and more. The sound is so versatile; funk, jazz, rock, country, blues, reggae and any other genre a bass player would ever want are available on your instrument.
The wait for my bass was certainly worth it! I practiced with our group last night and they couldn't believe it either!! They were as excited about MY bass as I was and that's hard to do!! You do a wonderful service for music industry!! I can't begin to tell you how much I'm enjoying it!! Thank you again for the fine craftsmanship and playability of my instrument!!
If you ever need a reference feel free to use my name. If anyone in the Northwest wants to see a sample of your work have them contact me. I'll be proud to show it off. Thank you again so much!!! As you always say, "Peace, Love and Music". With Gratitude, Pat

This gem started its life as the Corto Classic, but went through metamorphosis and became the Cortobass. The pattern on the poplar body has the essence of the tundra and how sweet it is. We are extremely happy with this bass and we think she was waiting for us and we are just elated to bring her home.

I love this Bass Guitar from the moment I played on it and the lightness of it made a joy to play. I like the full bass sound it makes. All of the music we played sounded better... best bass guitar I've ever used to date.

The very good photos do not do Number 17 justice. It is beautiful – everything about Number 17 says care, skill and devotion to the job. It also sound great and plays wonderfully. I catch myself stroking bits of it. I also just stand and look at it with mild disbelief. Caroline says she’ll have to increase my medication and may ask for an assessment.
I had never considered a
hand-built instrument. It was your website that won me over: integrity,
passion and a love of what you all do. I had a gut feeling that you would
be great people to deal with. It has been a 100% experience, crowned by
the instrument itself. This all sounds a bit gushing and I don’t gush.
You have a quality business and long may you thrive, whatever you do.
There are just too many good things to say about my bass and the experience that went with it. I can’t imagine how good you must feel about yourselves when you turn in at the end of each day. But I don’t understand how you can bear to part with your instruments.

COLORADO
I was searching the web for a kids bass, something small as a novelty, but playable. After a week, it was looking like a Daisy Rock or that J Reynolds bass. Then I clicked on a link that was no joke! There on the home page of BirdsongGuitars.Com was Cortobass Standard 5C-018, a one piece Texas Mesquite beauty. This ‘Mesqorto’ bit me and I immediately emailed Scott and Jamie (Birdsong Proprietors) about this fine instrument. It was a real toss up between it and a Super Sweet Walnut Sadhana (6S-002). You might have seen a picture of it in ‘Bass Player’ magazine. However, the Rustic Texas Mesquite won my heart.
When the art, I mean, instrument arrived, it was like that scene out of Pulp Fiction when, whoever would open the brief case, the whole room filled with light... only this was an aura of love for music. Then this feeling comes over you... kinda like... well, let’s put it this way. Take the ten most happing, most exciting, most pleasurable experiences in your life until now, multiply that times a million and that best describes it.
Whether you are a seasoned pro, (with an extensive collection, know every playing style and have 30 platinum albums hang'n on your wall).,, or you are 6 years old and reading this... Order One! It is truly a unique playing experience. The instrument comes with a seven day approval from the time you receive the tool. Trust me, you won’t be shipping it back!
Sound: A seven course meal! Scott had written next to a photo of 5C-018 “I will match the sound against any other short-scale bass in the world”. WELL, he was right,, AWESOME. Sussssstaaaaiiiinnnnn, punch, highs, lows, the whole bouquet. Every color, every flavor. I (BluesJamJim) will match it against ANY BASS in the world, with the exception of another Birdsong Bass. Oh, and this thing is quiet! S/N ratio can not be measured at the line input of my recording devices. Zero, zilch, none. I am sure if I hooked it up to my O’scope I could find some. But I don’t hear any. I am saving up for a Sadhana. (These things are addicting) I don’t think two will be enough either, maybe a bakers dozen.

"Hawkeye" (Cortobass #6C-022) arrived safe and sound, and I have been playing it since 9am this morning! What an amazing axe! It is without a doubt one of the finest, easiest-playing, most versatile-sounding instruments I have ever played (I have 28 other stringed instruments, including a 1920 Gibson F-4 mandolin and four other basses.) Hawkeye can snarl Blues, thump Reggae, slap Funk, walk jazzy, and pound out Classic Rock all with just a few knob tweaks. I ran it through my Line 6 Pod and Hartke 15" Kick Back amp/speaker and it roars!

I have to say that absolutely love this bass. It looks amazing and the tone is unbelievable. Ever since I got the bass I have not been able to stop practicing. I have played the bass for everything from 80's cover bands to funk/r&b and it sounds amazing. I went on a little music store cruise the other day and was playing on basses in a similar price range and I have to say that yours is by far the best. I don't know how you did it, but this bass was made for me. Thank you so much and I am already saving up for when you guys have a fretless...

The Corto and I are ready
for our first gig this weekend, and luckily I have both Fri. and Sat.
booked. I'll let you know how it goes, but I can already tell it's going
to fit right it and should instantly become my main bass. The middle
position with both pickups on full is just about the most perfect bass
tone I could ever ask for.
I feel so lucky to have this bass now and it truly has "blown my
socks off".
Update, March 2006:
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that me and the bird are getting along
just fine. I've played it on almost every gig so far and it's been
wonderful. I get a lot of compliments on how good it looks (like no other
bass on earth) and I dearly love how it sounds, plays and stays in tune
all night. I have yet to come home from a gig with my usual backache
too! I've only had it for about 5 months but it's easily the best bass I've
ever owned, and there's been quite a few. Thanks again for doing such
a nice custom job on it for me. I'll always be grateful to the
small crew of Birdsong Guitars for building me the bass of my dreams.

What can I say! Its tiny, but with a huge sound. I used it straight away for a band practice, and the guys said what on earth is that toy bass, but when I played it, actually asked me to turn the volume down! Our lead guitarist said “that amplifier sounds great – I will have to get one of those”, until he realised it was the same old amp I used every week and it was actually the bass he was listening to!
The gig on Saturday went really well. I used the Cortobass for the first two sets, and it was excellent! I went back to my Status for the last set, just to do a live comparison, and I have to say that whilst the sound was pretty similar through my Mesa Boogie Walkabout Scout (I tend to use just a simple, warm sound), the Status was far more difficult to play!
Thanks for all your work and artistry. It has been a pleasure doing business with you, and I hope in the near future to buy a second bass to keep her company!

Well, after an agonizing few moments of trying to dislodge it from its packaging (thought I'd never get it out--although the dogs were enjoying chasing around the foam peanuts), I discovered the Corto Classic--aka the Poplar Wonder--arrived in excellent condition. I've played it for about an hour, marveled at how fast my left hand had become in comparison to my sluggish right hand, and will, after I can figure out something a little more coherent than, "uh, it plays great, man" will leave a review out on harmony central for y'all.

She's here. She's everything I wanted, you promised, and more. I believe my playing has improved by hundreds of per cent in the week since she came. It's been a long wait, her brother being lost in UPS space and all, but she's so much better of a instrument than I am as a player, it'll take months before I can do her justice, and I think she will teach me more for years to come. (BTW I also sent my birthday cake, where Uma appears prominently. ) I'm working on a Harmony Central review, and it's hard to find the right words, but look for it. Thanks for supporting me during the long trauma of losing Elmo. You guys have been the greatest. I do believe that you would, as you promised, drive her out to California just to put her in my hands, but FedEx got her here, and, frankly, I just couldn't wait.

"I've had everything from an Alembic to Keith Roscoes and this thing here is worth more than what I paid for it. I have a Fender Mustang and there's no comparison... it's kind of like a Hemi motor to a 4-cylinder. It doesn't sound like a lightweight, shorter scale bass at all!

So far I am very pleased with my CortoClassic. Quality of materials, finish, workmanship, assembly, case all excellent. Your neck design- semi-thick soft-v combined with narrow string spacing- works well for my picked bass guitar style of playing.
Like any higher end stringed instrument should it responds very well to differences in hardness or softness of pick attack-even soft attack gives you a well defined solid note. Chording of any type well defined. Sounds great through my larger rig as it should, but even sounds good through my junky tiny practice amp.
Tone control actually works throughout entire range; volume control/pickup sensitive enough to set up for pick and fingerstyle volume differences without touching the amp volume. For my playing style, uses and preferences this is the best
thing I've played and well worth the money- a custom-quality bass for the price of a production model Fender American Series Jazz Bass at Guitar Center!
Thanks!

...problem with the Fender was that the Rock Maple neck was so much heavier than the body, that if I ever let go of the neck, the headstock would crash to the floor! Obviously, your design is much better thought-out and balances perfectly - all of the weight is right where it NEEDS to be. And the slightly shorter scale combined with the narrower J-bass style nut width makes it a joy to play. I love it!

Exerpts from the Harmony-Central review: "Can't say it enough: the bass was perfect right out of the box. The results speak for themselves but I had no doubt that I would receive anything but the best. Just spend a few minutes talking to the owners (Scott and Jamie): the owners obviously love what they are doing, and that love of music is reflected not only in the delivery of the final product but with ongoing communication with the customer all the way through the build process. I'm just beginning to explore the tonal characteristics of this bass but I am thoroughly thrilled with what I'm hearing right out of the box. I mainly play rock and blues and this bass has a very good growl. It punches through the mix well and exhibits no hum or other noise."

Number 45 arrived last night, and it's hard to find the right words for how beautiful it is. It brings tears to my eyes; I feel like a new mother. As wonderful as it looked in the earlier pictures, it is much more so in person--the finish gleams, the wood glows, and the color shimmers like burnt sugar going to caramel. And as good as it looks, it feels and sounds even better. It sits exactly right, the fingerboard spacing is perfect, everything about it is smooth as silk. And the sound is amazing. I can hardly believe how good it makes a newbie like me sound; the music just pours out of it. Even on a little rumble amp the sound is so deep and rich you'd think it was on a much bigger system. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
