Yes, they are a very light tension set, don't laugh, but I'll be doing a bit of tapping.

Eventually, I ordered the 5 string piccolo set from Newtone and an extra 95 for the low E. 6 String set is: 0.020 0.030 0.040 0.050 0.070 0.095 https://newtonestrings.com/shop/diamond-piccolo-5-string-bass/

Do you know the gauge for each string you are using? Thanks to everyone for the info.

Many thanks for the good info, yes, I was thinking about getting a custom set of strings from newtone, whom I have had good strings from before, I'm just wondering what gauge to order. As a quick guess, I'm thinking about these for a light gauge set for a 34 inch scale bass: E 0.100 A 0.080 D 0.060 G 0.040 C 0.030 F 0.020 Obviously, it's the high C and F string gauges at 34inch scale that are a concern, will they break at that tension. That's a very interesting option, great info, D'addario piccolo string gauges 52-42-32-20.

Can a 6 string bass be tuned EADGCF? If it can, are the strings available? I mostly play guitar tuned in fourths, so I find that the low B on a 6 string bass very confusing, as I know all the notes on the fretboard in EADGCF tuning without thinking. Thanks

I am trying to find the best Inexpensive Machine Heads/Tuners for a 10 string project, 5 left side, 5 right side. Any ideas, as I'm not a bass player.

I've got a Subzero Pad800 Class D power amp, the fans are noisy, but you can replace them with noiseless fans, I used Noiseblocker fans. https://www.blacknoise.com/site/en/products/noiseblocker-it-fans.php?lang=EN

I swapped a guitar for a Double Bass on this forum many years ago, the detailed info about the Bass is in this link here: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/72702-german-mittenwald-double-bass-100-120-years-old/?tab=comments#comment-929041 I've kept it in a bedroom for years and occasionally wiped the dust off it with a cloth. I know nothing about Double basses, I'm a guitarist. It also has a very sturdy soft black Double Bass case made by Tom and Will. Pickup from Warrington £1200 Many thanks. Guy

I was thinking about putting it on ebay, but didn't know a starting price. It's been stuck in my bedroom too long, it needs to go............
-
Ok, I was thinking about £1200, I might be totally wrong, but this was the approx value of the guitar I swapped for the double bass.

Thanks.
