EDIT: I go back and forth between Chromes and Nickel Wound XL from D'Addario. More Nickel Wound these days.

The long scale should work, regular light gauge. They sell these pretty much everywhere, usually under $20.

DR Hi Beams on the active, 45-105 gauge |

| | | My vote is for D'Adarrio's round wound nickel XL's. You need 45, 65, 80 100 gauges to replace those original strings.I think we get a discount at this site; http://www.bassstringsonline.com/ |

| | | | I'd try some DR Fat Beams on your active jazz and D'addario tapewounds on the passive jazz. I play a lot of latin jazz stuff too and find them both really articulate, but they sound completely different. Isn't that the point of having different basses?
