    John Paul Jones strings?

    Reaching out to string manufacturers to consult on a certain set of strings used by a certain player half a century ago... See, this is the type of content that keeps me coming back to TalkBass after all these years, regardless of how actively involved I am with music at the time. And I mean...

    John Paul Jones strings?

    Agreed 100% I'm not old enough to have tried the original formula Fender 850s myself, but DR Legends are the closest I've ever gotten to that tone, with GHS Precisions coming up as a close second. It's notoriously hard to objectively describe timbre, but I'd describe the GHSs as a bit airier or...

    What bass line(s) have taught you the most?

    I Want You Back – becoming even passingly decent at 16th note syncopations took my playing to another level.

    Who's American poetry moves you--Springsteen, Mellencamp or Seger?

    Flatwounds on a Jazz and roundwounds on a Precision?

    Totally. I cut my teeth on early Led Zep, so flats on a Jazz was sort of the default bass tone in my head before I even started playing.
