For they style you're playing, flats would do it for me. However, Ernie ball Hybrids or super slinkies are great strings too, especially once they get broke in. |

Right now im using Ernie Ball Slinkys, but im going to spring on some DR Fatbeams whenever I see a set. I hear good things about them and DR have very high quality strings.

|  | No need to ask, he's a smooth... Moderator | | Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: West Midlands UK | | | Rotosound Swing bass on my Status/Nordstrand/J-Retro custom, active, "modern" Jazz bass (my #1 instrument for most gigs)
Rotosound Swing bass on my Geddy (nice passive Jazz with that 70's vibe)
Rotosound flats on my MIM Jazz - I keep this bass just to have one around strung with flats for the "thump"
Dean Markley Fretmasters or Rotosound Solo bass on my fretless Jazz. Both bright, but a little smoother than ordinary rounds, ideal for fretless IMO.
