Picco Music Special Micro Scale Bass Strings
Coming soon:
Special metal strings made exclusively for Picco Music Micro Scale Bass customers.
Soft feel, great tight tone. Great alternative for acoustic Micro Scale Basses and the exclusive string for the solid body Stealth Bass coming in 2014.
I want, I want!
Then again, the pahoehoehoehoes are working out nicely, so I may just have to buy another micro.

And you didn't order it from me?
Enjoy. I think you'll have lots of fun with it.
I rarely buy instruments without trying them first so I ordered from a local dealer so I could try it.
However, I am interested in seeing the "Stealth" model you mention on your website.
There won't be a fretless in the first run, but if demand is there, for sure in the second run.
So you've got the full set of 'hoes on yours now?
How do you like the sound compared to the 'guts, acoustic and/or plugged in?
It's still strung hybrid. Pahoehoe E and A and thundergut D and G. The sound is kinda uneven, and I haven't had a chance to play it through a real setup with proper EQ and whatnot. At home, I dial down the treble all the way and boost the bass almost all the way, and it's pretty close. Once I get a chance to see how it sounds in the rehearsal studio, I'll decide whether I want to change the D and G too. I'd rather not though cuz I'm obsessive about having minimal wraps around the post, and it takes months for that to happen with the pahoehoe D and G.
Yes - my own offering will be a micro scale solid body electric with magnetic pickups that we are having custom built. My acoustic electric offering is from Gold Tone. There will be more beyond that in the future. Assuming people respond of course.

Looks like the stealth will have adjustable bridge saddles too. Very interesting. Can we ask what the scale length is.
Which strings? I'm a die-hard nylon tapewound fan on basses with magnetic pickups.
I really like LaBella's new "white" tapewounds (they are actually clear tape over roundwound strings). Very, very smooth, yet bright sounding for tapes.
Well, I didn't expect it to come out this way, but,

That, my friends, is a mighty fine reason to buy a Gold Tone MicroBass.
