SOLD Birdsong PB-3 Short Scale Bass Custom Painted by Marty Bell

Offered for sale is a custom Birdsong model PB-3, that has been totally broken down and custom painted by Marty Bell of California! We went from “Rat Rod” to “ Mod Squad” with NO expense spared! This bass has never been out of my house, and really hasn’t been played since purchased and re-built. It’s a very custom 70’s vibe thought that I have always wanted to build in a shortie. It kicks ass and is an amazing instrument from Birdsong that has every bit of punch you would expect Scott Beckwith of Birdsong to build! Marty Bell May be the best custom painter of our time!
I just got this a few months ago before deciding to go crazy so it's 100% brand new, I've played it maybe 5 times. I have well over $3300.00 invested into this bad boy with a lot of love and thought. Want to thank Mike Veerock of Bordontown Guitar Rescue for assistance with the rebuild, setup and electronics upgrades making this that much more playable and enjoyable!
I just have so many Basses that this one isn't getting the love it deserves.
