This is the place to see the status of your instrument


Updated Fridays as regularly as I can. If you get antsy, remember we're a small workshop hand building
you a custom ordered musical instrument. There's no factory or assembly line, just the next task that'll
best keep things moving smoothly... and that isn't always what's next on yours or what is obvious or even
logical from your side of the screen.
This is also part of that one-on-one, "whatever time is needed" personal 
attention we like to give; each bass gets it too. So sit back 'n enjoy the ride; you're in good hands here. It's 
an honor to be doing what we do for you and you're family to us.



Necks IN, hardware, LOTS more stuff on its way & in progress... stay tuned!

F-008  1 piece Mesquite burl body! "Benchmade" set-neck! This turned from a claimed "leftover" build to a better body to an Artist build!

Odd projects

Super Six prototype - six string bass, BEADGC, our 31" scale & big tone... client requested scroll. Quite a bass-to-be!
Decisions, decisions... a fretboard of choice aged black Ebony or a slab from a special block of Rosewood... Rosewood it is!

Custom bass for JAKE!
Jake & Scott have a running agreement to build each other stuff they couldn't afford to buy, since they both build instruments for a living. :)
Scott gets guitars by Jake and Jake gets Birdsong basses... this is the Jakebound portion of the latest exchange... Bloodwood, figured Maple, and Ebony...

THIS is the first "Artist build", started in 2010 and became the 7th Anniversary bass for 2011. It's a Cortobass with a Fusion pickup, wild one piece Walnut with hand engraving and Turquoise, will be completed in 2012 and years down the line will drive some serial number orienting Birdsong historian absolutely batshit.
