This might be a n00b question, but it's relevant to me regardless:

I just (FINALLY) got my Fender American Deluxe V Jazz bass, and I am wondering what you call the strings that are on it from factory?

I believe they're roundwound, but are they nickel or something else? I am trying to identify so I can possibly change to something more to my liking?

Also, what length strings do I get for it as replacement? I believe there are several (long, extra long etc.).

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Keld (Now with a real bass!)

I placed this info for you at the other forum as well, but I just checked a couple Fender Product Specification pages in their on-line catalog and this is the description listed there in several places:

Quote:
Fender® USA Super Bass 8250M, NPS, (.045, .065, .085, .110TW Gauges)


NPS stands for Nickel Plated Steel and the standard issue is with rounds. Your Jazz Bass takes a long scale stringset which is proper for either 20 or 22 fret necks. I have a 22 fret J-Bass and the long scale strings from GHS had plenty of length... I still had to trim several centimeters off each string.

King, see the reply I posted over at Sabre's about your string tone issue.
