It's a new instrument line Scott is making available based on my specs, so yes, it's actually my signature instrument (technically, it's "TD Towers'" instrument- my alter ego!). It's currently the only one of its kind but I have a feeling there will be more! The short basses (the more stripped...

Well well well! This is the thread for me! Like others have said, Scott Beckwith at Birdsong Guitars (www.birdsongguitars.com) is making the ULTIMATE short scale bases. Here's a picture of my signature model, The Talisman. But you don't need to get all blinged out like this. His line "The Short...

That Mahogany bass is RIGHTEOUS! Ah. You know you've been bitten by the bug in a bad way when Scott sends you nearly a dozen pictures of your completed bass (post coming soon!) and you already are thinking about the Birdsong on reverb.com - oi.

Oh man - I love your idea for the dream Sadhana! Thanks for the kind words re: Edensong :) I thought I'd post some updates on my custom Birdsong... it's nearly complete! Fans of The Dark Tower should get a kick out of the inlay on the scroll... Still plenty to be done, but she's nearing...

wait... fretless or fretted? I am confused. That video seems to show both a lined fretless and a fretted? And what scale is it? Holy crap it's gorgeous and sounds great...

I am flabbergasted. As a short scale devotee, you are killing me here, man!!! Wow.

That's what came on my Birdsong as well - but for whatever it's worth, I've been using Fender short scale extra light roundwounds on mine and it kills.

Tantalizing!!

Ugh this is killing me... I just put in an order with Scott! This one is also calling my name but it's just a touch out of my range given that I just plunked down a deposit. Ai carrumba. Best of luck with the sale!

Oh man... I've been playing this bass for a little less than a year now, but it has completely changed my life. It's a prototype, the first time Scott used the Shortbass body on an official Birdsong from what I understand. It's a cherry body with a maple neck that has a cool finish to it. I play...

OH man, as an owner of a Birdsong with another one on the way, I can only say that they are the ONLY basses I will be playing from now on, and the Shortbass is a *killer* format. My Birdsong is essentially the prototype shortbass (with some Corto DNA) so I can vouch for the format of the...

What's the scale length on this beauty?

Wow, I'm surprised there are no adamant supporters of Tube Head -> Hi-fi cab rigs. To me, the deep warm tones of an opened up tube amp go amazing with the clarity of modern cabs. It's a hi-fi sound with more balls and less ear fatiguing highs.

On the Pedulla, is the scale 34"?

p.s. I think I am biased against the Slick Rounds because I keep wanting to type "Slick Rick." haha
