I thought Scott used the same varitone on the Bboxes as he does in the basses. So I guess I just have the standard varitone.
I got the idea to have Scott put the Bbox symbols around the varitone from looking at the Bboxes and thinking that the symbols would look cool on a bass. Adding a little flavor while keeping a standard Birdsong decoration.
The BBoxes have the same varitone kit that is in my Cortofusion prototype (to my knowledge, the later Fusions have tone knobs rather than varitones - although I may be mistaken).

I'm still playing around with the varitone. The third position I've kinda taken a liking to. (Waves symbol for the Bbox users) The differences between the positions seem very subtle so I'll have to play with it a bit more to get ideas of where to use them. For now, I'm playing mostly in bypass.
I'm so glad to finally get it in my hands!![]()

cool man, thanks so much! playing and recording with those guys is a blast. hopefully we will be coming to a city near you in a few months.
oh, i've got an off topic question if thats allowed. has anyone here had any experience with an epiphone ripper re-issue?
TREECHILD....That is an AWESOME LOOKING bass!! I am WORKING HARD at getting the funds for my Birdsong.(The CD Scott sends out is VERY IMPRESSIVE.) My projected date to get mine started is May 1st...(If all goes well.) Anyway,congrats!

Hello,
Just curious, I have had a Fender Mustang and Musicmaster bass and the problem I had was that it was difficult to get them to be be heard through the other instruments. I now use a Fender Jazz but was wondering how the Birdsong short scale performs in gigs.
Thanks
