what strings i need?

Sign in to disble this ad
I just recently my first bass.. a Fender Highway 1 Jazz..
I tried a couple of bass in the same price range and ive found that it was the better sounding bass for my taste

the bass had Fender 8250 strings on it... i like them but the G string felt too bright compared to the others... whenever i switch to that string while playing the difference in intonation annoyed me... i bought Elixir Nanoweb and now the huge difference in sound between D and G string is gone... but.... the sound now is weak, dead... not enough mid... not enough bass.... and the coating is starting to peel on the E string... i paid 65CDN$ for the set and i really regret it...

What strings do you recommend for clear, growly and bassy sound?
