This is a great 4 string WISHBASS Piccolo bass for the bass player who adventures to play some solo leads without having to learn the guitar; Great for over-dubbing with your standard bass parts. The neck is straight, the action is low, and the fingerboard has jumbo frets. It plays and sounds great; a fun bass that sounds like a guitar! It is fun to crank it through a distortion box. The Neck through body is finished in natural so you can see through to the beautiful wood grains. All of the hardware is chrome. It is a great looking as well as sounding bass. The tuning is EADG one octave above a regular 4 string bass. Here’s a tune I recorded playing lead bass on a piccolo. Notice that what sounds like rhythm guitar and finger picked notes are actually chords played on the Piccolo bass. What a great way to cheat! Sounds like the guitar, but I did not have to learn how to play guitar, and I played it all with my fingers because I did not have to use a pick to get to the strings! Please note that this is a 34 inch scale instrument. Regarding this, here’s a quote from Stanley Clarke from the book Bass Heros: My piccolos are 32 and 34 inch basses – medium and long scale – because that makes them sound a little better.
