The
Birdsong
Corto2
From 2500 USD
Includes case or quality bag AND continental USA shipping
The most popular model since its introduction in 2010!
We took the Cortobass and swapped in two humbucking soapbar pickups in a “J-bass” like arrangement. So you get all of the easy playing balanced ergonomics of a Birdsong, a fantastic “Stronger, fuller J” bass palette of tones, and even a warm almost “P” from the neck pickup. The bridge pickup solo is MUCH fuller than a single J, and we voice our tone control to be useable - it works great with the bridge pickup on this bass!

“I must say that I am stunned by this instrument. I never thought a short scale could feel and sound this way. It is a revelation. To anyone who's on the fence about these instruments, all the hype is true and more. It is a rare thing these days to have your expectations exceeded in every way. Thank you again to the crew at Birdsong!"
