The AMIGO
Short on length, LOOOONG on tones!
The Amigo combines the well-loved old Scott Shortbass body with the “pocket bass” scale of 25.5” in a TWO pickup model! “Everybody needs an amigo.”
“Thank you for my amazing little Amigo. I've been playing hard for the past several weeks and couldn't be happier. My bandmates are stoked too—and at least one audience member always notices how tiny she is and comes to ask: "What kind of bass is that?! IT SOUNDS AMAZING!" I have a lot of fun talking you up. :) ~Liana
From $1850.
The Amigo uses the body shape of the old “Scott Shortbass,” giving a happy dancing cactus look and perfect balance. Mild to wild, from simple organic tool to fancy-topped, turquoise-embellished heirloom, it’s the most versatile pocket bass around with its two humbucking soapbars - the same exact pickups and wiring used in the Birdsong Corto2 and C5s. Tonally, it’s a little giant! Each bass is hand crafted in my Adirondack workshop.
