Greetings from points far north and far south, Birdsong friends all over! I, Scott, aka Chief Woodgnome, am up where the flannel is on and the leaves are changing; Head Luthier Jake is - well, where Birdsong ALWAYS is - in a Texas Hill Country workshop! We currently have two basses in inventory, one complete and ready to ship shortly. It just happens to be one of the best looking 5-strings Birdsong has ever made.
For more pics and details, check out the INVENTORY page.
The hands of Jake have been very busy this year, and continue to be - here are two special-order Fusion basses coming together. We really need to put it back into the lineup “officially”… they rock, roll, jazz, blues, and jam out - but with a sweet, round bass voice as if some upright bass was mixed in. Great for roots rock or acoustic accompaniment! All in a swoopy yet ELEGANT looking bass. These two are for clients… can we start one for you? Hmmmmmmm???
As for me, the wandering Captain freed into a chapter of here-and-there-ness (while still taking your calls and orders and running the business end of things) and pondering what I would like my NEXT twenty years to look like, I think it’s going to look like this…
Artsy shots from a little Adirondack homestead in the “North Country” of far northern New York. There’s a barn and house from 1876, and a workshop. I hope to settle there in the spring, to maintain my Birdsong management, build the small amounts of what I do (mini-basses and D’AQUILA guitars, www.sbeckwith.com), and continue my simple and creative life into its autumn season. ‘Til then, I’m still based out of Texas but roaming around on adventure. WHEREVER I am, I’ll be here for you for ALL Birdsong business and questions. Birdsong making will remain in Texas, as always… And you all, whether we’ve ever met or not, family to me. I wanted to share; I’m very excited for all of this. For Jake, for Birdsong, and for my dreams which now have a garden again. Be well, stay inspired, and spread the music. Another news page update in a couple of weeks… stay tuned!
