Fender Jazz in CGCF. What 5 string gauge?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey, i will be recieving my new fender USA Jazz in a couple of days and im going to get it professionally set up with the heavy 4 strings of a 5 string set.

What gauge do you think i should get?

I was thinking having the B string at .125 like this set of EXL:

what do you guys think?

I want to try lo riders but im being put off by the stainless steel part and i can't get the nickle version easily over here. I play with a pick but im worried that lo riders won't be as easy to play with as the d'addorios.

Help please

I actually used 110's on my Fender Jazz for CGCF. I don't recommend going to a 125 or 130.
