Holy crap! Nice collection you are parting with. If only that SuperJ was a 5-string. Oh wait, they're not out yet!

Why is your pre-owned SuperJ priced higher than a brand new one?

[quote="CTbass&Birdsong":k6lxzdku][b]I have 20+ basses for sale of my 50+ collection[/quote:k6lxzdku] I've never seen a Birdsong in person, but I like the way the Cortobass looks, especially in a native wood like mesquite or pecan (it's built in South Texas.) I've been considering buying a nice short scale bass. What can you tell us about them? Mark

I was more hoping for your impressions of how they play and sound. 12 Birdsongs... that makes you the [b:3v0ldzit]Fullrange[/b:3v0ldzit] (our world record Dingwall owner on this forum) of Birdsong basses. Do you have a fretless Birdsong? Mark

The new ones have the magnetic battery cover on the back. If I have this right, you're the owner of Birdsong Basses and you're popping on to another Luthier's forum and posting your basses?

relax funky....I believe Ben was only trying to offer up his SuperJ. We should leave it at that. He can ask whatever he wants for it really, if someone is willing to buy it so be it. No need to badger.

It's second hand, I think most people would expect to see at least -15%. Just some advice, if you want this to be sold.

well, if i could grab a new one for just 200$ more i definetly would. even if its 100% mint, its about the warranty, and beeing the first owner, plus you get to choose exactly which bass you want.

Thanks for your words of advice......
