TheGreek Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 When you say "ultra thin" what gauge exactly?? [i][b]Status Hotwires[/b][/i] generally start at 0.30 on the G string - talk to Rob for more info/advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 You could try combining Piccato singles, I think they make a piccolo bass set. Alterantively go custom and talk to this guy: http://garrygoodman.com/round_wound_strings.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Six thin strings? Might be on the wrong forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 The thinnest gauge bass string that D'Addario do is a .018!

lozbass Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I'd try TI Jazz Rounds - very light and compliant. Beautifully made and feel wonderful bit not cheap. Available from the US for around $100 http://www.bassstringsonline.com/Thomastik-Infeld-T-I-JAZZ-Round-Wound--6-String-Set_p_243.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
