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.

You could try combining Piccato singles, I think they make a piccolo bass set. Alterantively go custom and talk to this guy:

Six thin strings? Might be on the wrong forum.

The thinnest gauge bass string that D'Addario do is a .018! You can get them here http://www.stringbusters.com/Ko-Bespoke/productlist.asp?cat=1/SINGLE%20STRINGS/SINGLE%20STRINGS%20BASS/DADDARIO

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
