Birdsong Basses for 2025

Our core models and some new ideas too - all made in America and bench crafted in a small workshop, as it has been since 2004.

NOW TAKING SPRING BATCH 2025 ORDERS!

  • Features

    What makes a Birdsong different? How is it made? Here’s a full page about the features of a Birdsong bass.

  • Cortobass

    “Finally, a bass that fits!” This launched the Cortobass in 2004 and it launched Birdsong as a company. Everything else we’ve done is in some way based on this.

  • Fusion

    The wood lover’s dream - sounds like it looks. Proprietary pickup recipe gives woody warmth and sweet clarity, makes a wonderful fretless too!

  • Corto2

    Our most popular model since its 2012 introduction. Imagine a Cortobass but with two humbucking soapbars for a BIG “Jbass” family voice!

  • NEW FOR 2025: Fusion2

    Imagine the swoopy, elegant Fusion body with the versatile Corto2 soapbars? We did. It’s happening!

  • Short Scale?

    A page about what short scale means, its benefits, and why we specialize in short scale basses - with size comparison pics!

  • Cbass

    We combined Cortobass size, ergonomics, and playability, with a vintage “Pbass” tone that has to be heard to be believed.

  • COMING: Amigo "Pocket bass"

    The latest in our SUPER SHORT guitar scale bass offerings and the first TWO pickup. Tiny bass, huge tone!

  • AC-1

    A special build that worked so well, we’re offering it! The Birdsong for those wanting wider neck & string spacing. Helps a charity, too!

  • Short scale 5 STRINGS

    Since 2007, with our proprietary “Double string through” B. These 5-strings behave, sound huge, and play easy. They speak for themselves!

  • Anniversary

    Every year for July 4th (Birdsong’s anniversary), we reveal 1 or 2 special, unique builds to honor it. What’s coming? Stay tuned! (This link will only work when it’s Anniversary time!)
