Salsa, bachata, merengue or any latin music IMO doesn't involve any specific strings/bass.. It's more likely on feel of your bass line and the notes that you are playing.

I used to play salsa, cumbia, merengue, cuban etc, and I mostly used TI Jazz Flats and a foam block under the strings to get that Ampeg Baby Bass sound.

A tube amp, flats, and a foam block under the strings. Aside from gear, 90% of latin music is in the musician.
