Cortobass #194 

Beautiful Cherry fretless Cortobass #10C-194. Ebony fingerboard, nut, knobs, truss rod cover. Position markers on the side. Strung with Fender 9120s, they're roundwounds with a tape wind on them and are some of my favorites. Has a warm, woody fretless tone with plenty of roundness to the bottom end and clarity from the Cherry body. A fantastic sounding bass. Make it your voice!

I voiced the tone control so it gets dark but never muds out. If you'd like more of a subtle upper-midrange horn like "honk" I can swap the cap before I send it. It also has a Hipshot extender key. Visually, it just glows in the light like Cherry does... awesome.

Price includes case & continental USA shipping.

$2125

Odyssey prototype #1. The vision gave me the complete bass from the modified Cortobass curves to the materials: Zebrawood & Ash. These will be single pickup fretless basses with black hardware. I don't know if they'll become regular models, probably not (although after seeing this one with the neck on it, I'm thinking about it). But it's my job to manifest the visions...
Read about it on the news page!

Just $395 includes shipping in the continental USA!!!
If you'd like a case, we'll send it in a Birdsong TKL plush-lined hardshell case for an extra $100. 

Excellent condition, very minor wear as it has been played but WOW what a stunner. 

One of luthier Jake's personal guitars, so you know it has been dressed & set up to play like butter (Jake does the setups here at Birdsong). Upgrades include a Seymour Duncan Dimebucker pickup in the bridge position, upgraded pots & wiring, Sprague cap... 

Grab this great-looking import that screams & outplays many custom shop instruments costing thousands. 

Rock out for small change, Hoss!! 
   
OTHER STUFF
Bbox tone boxes The original handmade wood tone box! Completely passive, no batteries ~ 6-way varitone gives you five distinct "other tonal personalities" of your guitar or bass. These are not stomp boxes, more studio tools. I've been using the prototype all the time for years. They're made from instrument woods and hand rubbed with an oil finish. More fun than a barrel of monkeys as the saying goes, though for better or worse I have very limited personal experience with monkeys.

New batch in progress... stay tuned & grab 'em, I can never make as many of these as I'd like 'cause I'm so busy with the basses!

Scott's CD! Brother Scott "Soul Medicine" (2009)
An eclectic mix of songs seasoned with ingredients acoustic and electric, Eastern and Western. I played everything except for the big ending jam; I just layered a bunch of stuff on that. Ever hear Native American flute, psychedelic electric guitar and djembe at the same time? Neither had I.
