Seem to remember at one time he was a DR endorser (?)

I believe for most of his career he has used Rotosound Swing Bass 66, but he’s been playing for a long time and has probably used a variety of strings.

Thanks
And What kind of DR ?

I seem to remember him in an ad for Low Riders, or at least reading a reference that he was a user.

Jones's equipment consists of a 1966 Fender Jazz bass with stock pickups, strung with a Rotosound Swing Bass set; a Crown Micro-Tech 1000 power amp; an Ashly preamp; Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal distortion, volume, VB-2 vibrato, OC-2 Octaver and CS-2 compression sustain pedals; Roland SDE-3000 digital delay; and two Hartke 4-IO" cabinets with aluminium Hartke speakers. His J-bass was recorded both direct and amped, through a 300-watt Ampeg SVT with a Hartke cabinet, and Jones engaged all his effects except for the SDE-3000 and HM-2 units

DR Nickel Lo-Riders post-Sting, at least for a while...

I think I once saw a vid of Jones with the Stones and he was playing a Lakland (probably) and the camera focused momentarily on his bass and I saw the characteristic colors (well, green and red) of D'Addario ball ends.

Rotosound use red, white and blue ball ends, too.
