Birdsong Club Pt 2

Ohhhh....thats not a Corto 2, that's why I was confused......that was a nice price, good score. That just has dual humbuckers. My favorite Sadhana has that setup....good choice, I definitely prefer it to the single in the neck. View attachment 3988317

Obviously, I don't know all the fine points of all the models. I see now that the Corto2 PUs are lower. But it should do for me for now.

I was waiting on some brass knobs but we switched plans today to MXR-style knobs. This should be on it's way to me next week.

That is a true beauty!

What wood is that for the body?

Mesquite with walnut stringers.

Some new pics of my 5 string on Facebook yesterday, it's even prettier than I thought!

Sweet. I did not realize it was 2 different woods til the last few pics

So I'm not longer waiting on the brass knobs. We're going with the MXR-style knobs instead (I'd been thinking about them for months already, so I asked Scott to change the plan last week).

Bass ships tomorrow (there are some trim pieces in ebony, but this is the latest pic I have).

 

[acleex38]

Scheduled to ship tomorrow.

Whoa!

My first thought was - that was quick. Then I looked back and saw your earlier posts... long time coming! ;-0

Congrats!

People keep saying "why did it take so long?"
"It wasn't my turn yet."

"Reno" arrived on Saturday (I asked Scott to name the bass - when I try, it ends up cringey).

 

[slejhamer]

Sweet. Any story behind the name?

I don't name them. I ask Scott to do so.

Just placed an order for a Shortbass GT. Walnut body, rosewood fretboard, dark tort control panel. Basically this, but fretted and with the humbucker instead of the neck pickup.

I snagged a shortbass gt a few months ago and I love it. Perfect lil funk machine. Nice bang for the buck.

Yeah I wanted a more aggressive "puts rounds on and play rush" bass to go with my Serek P with flats. I messaged Scott to get his opinion on an SD Curlee on Reverb and he messaged to suggest the GT which he's taking some orders for in spring.

I would say that's a solid decision. Mine shreds. Only real difference in our SBs is that mine is mahogany. It crushes rush licks, but i would recommend a preamp for that for a lil extra juice. It is amazing in the slap/pop realm, which was my original purpose for the purchase. Neck is ridiculously fast and the whole thing is solid af.

Yeah I'll rely on the YYZ pedal to get me the rest of the way. Can you post yours?
