String Jazz
What are the best bass guitar strings for jazz
I am going to play bass guitar in 8th grade jazz band. I am going to play an Ibanez GSR200. Is it really very crucial what kind of strings I have? I know that the stock strings are always terrible, but do I need really good like, D’addario chrome flatwounds? I looked in to those, but they’re $30 for four of them. I could spend that much, but I would much rather spend less on strings.
I actually had the same problem, but i happen to know that elixir bass strings are really good for jazz. The only prob would be there just as expensive if not higher. If that doesn’t help, musiciansfriend.com has a good selection of bass strings, as well as any other musical items you may need. Here’s a link for bass strings.

hope this helps. oh, and be sure to use medium or heavy strings, which are essential for jazz.

The Canadian smoothie looks longingly towards early-’60s Vegas, an impression quickly reinforced when a boisterous horn section makes its grand entrance, about 20 seconds into the track. That Bublé means business is confirmed by the… |
