Piccolo in The Uk!

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys, I recently joined the "I want a piccolo bass" club

HOWEVER...

I cannot find any piccolo strings in the Uk, so, are there any british TB'ers who know where to buy them, otherwise my bubble is popped

Thanks again,

FkettyF

P.S, yes the title was a Sex pistols joke

Buy 'em online. Keep in mind by going piccolo you've gone to the dark side... guitar frequencies...

Lowest 4 strings in a guitar set might reach depending on scale length. That's what I use on my 30" scale bass (EBO), works great.

I'm afraid I'm not in any position to be spending any more money, seeing I just splashed out on a jazz bass,

Thanks for the help anyway

Umm...any time you play higher than the 2nd fret of the D string, you're in guitar territory
