Picollo strings for a 5 string bass, help!

Sign in to disble this ad
I couldnt seem to find a thread with this info.

Can someone provide a link to where i can get piccolo strings for a 5 string bass, i can find them for 4 string basses but not 5.

I suppose i will have to adjust the action again, any tips?

Thank you.

Contact a TB member "knucklehead". He is the owner of Circle K Strings. He can make whatever you need and balance the tension etc.
