Looks great..can tell by your smile you are happy!!! enjoy !! love seeing the Birdsong family growing !!!
1 Hour Playing time notes:
Fast & Light. Sounds good, a nice earthy tone... need to try again at serious volume, but here in my practice room its too easy to get things shaking. Varitone knob is a mystery to me soo far... I hear the changes, but not sure what I like, where the amp should be eq'd etc... More to follow
Case fits in the trunk of my Miata (a sight I thought I never see.. a five-string in case in that trunk!). Looks and feels great, the wood has a ton of natural vibe with the oil finish. Narrow neck is on the fat side, so it fits pretty naturally into my small hands. I can't see the 15mm situation being an issue for me, within a couple minutes it seemed fine to me. I even slapped a few lines for kicks (to see if I could)

You know what I love...that there is only one person on this board in a position of having played a Birdsong Hy5 and can argue with you about anything good you say about it, and it's ME!
and I won't.
It's all about Controlling the Media!
My pecan wood Bbox and ebony wood thumbrest should arrive this week. "Please, please Mr. Postman look and see......."
The Birdsong tribe in Ga. gathers to talk to some other members of the bass family while awaiting the arrival of the LeCompte Hot Dog,,,,,
Still no news about mine...this is what the web site say:
8C-109 Still on the hunt for the right piece of Spalted Maple...
8C-109 Still on the hunt for the right piece of Spalted Maple...
I saw that. I know it took months for them to find the right mesquite for my buddy Levi, and I have no idea what spalted maple is like for them to find.
Slejhamer/Mitch's bass (105) is into routing now.
