Birdsong Basses

[Prosebass]

Has anyone out there seen, heard or bought a Birdsong short scale bass ?
I like the company ethics and the way they build.

whoa, that sadhana looks soo nice, think it would look better on me if it was 34" scale though as it would look a tad small.
what do they go for?

cheers

I came across this guy [url="http://ctbass.birdsong.googlepages.com/home2"]Bass Collection[/url]

Is it just me or is there something perverse about owning so many basses ? I used to "collect" things especially when I was doing some antique trading but the only things I seem to collect now are books and every now and then have a clear out to the charity book shop in town.
I think this extract sort of sums it up....

[quote]For some people collecting is simply the quest, in some cases a life-long pursuit that is never complete. Additional collector motivations include psychological security, filling a void in a sense of self. Or it could be to claim a means to distinction, much as uniforms make the “man.” Collections could be a means to immortality or fame vis-a-vis Dr. Louis Leakey.[/quote]

Better to spend your spare cash collecting basses than pouring it down your throat or blowing it down the bookies, I reckon. You can't take the money with you when you go.

I take it you will be buried with your collection ?

Better to give to a charity or the needy ? I would gratefully accept any donations....
