What strings to use?

[PeaceFrog]

Hello,

Just got a new MIA Jazz 3 Tone Sunburst, the strings that came with the bass are a little taut, looking for a string that will give plenty of low end and decent mids with a little more playability, any suggestions would be great.

Thanks in advance

Have you ever used half rounds?- I have them on my precision & my MIM Jazz.
D'addario puts out a pretty good set for like $30.

Haven't tried those yet, I will look into these.

I just put these on my Fender Jag:

TOI_JF344 Thomastik-Infeld Electric Bass Nickel Flat Wound Roundcore 4 String, .043 - .100

Great tone and easy to play....

I recently switched to GHS Pressurewounds. They sound like something between a roundwound and a flatwound; they're great on a Jazz.

Ken Smith Burners or GHS Supersteels

Rotosound, DR, and GHS would get my vote for best strings to try.
