#piccolobass — Public Fediverse posts

If you've never heard of a piccolo bass before, well here it is. All of my social profile pics were taken when promoting this one as a single at the end of '19.

I'm debating turning my #GLguitars Fallout #shortscale #bassguitar into a #PiccoloBass. Tuned as:
B1 - .024
E2 - .036
A2 - .046
D3 - .060
G3 - .080

The tension would likely be closer to that of a longscale but, it'd still be one octave up with thinner strings. With #DRstrings, Neons, the bottom two would be roundcore bass while the rest hexcore guitar strings.

With a #Kahler *vibrato* bridge / whammy bar, it'd certainly be a unique, odd in-between instrument.
