Hey,
I've got an American Deluxe Jazz 07 and realised the strings on it were beginning to wear out.
Could anyone suggest a good pair to go with.
Im trying to get a good high-punch for stingray-like slapping, but also a nice low sound for Marcus Miller-like slapping.

So far I have found 3 types of strings.
D'ADDARIO
Ernie Ball
DR Fat-Beams

Could anyone recommend a pair of these (along with size) that would best suit the sound I'm after.


Thanks in advanced!

I ended up going with the Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky strings.

I like D'Addario Softs on my Precision. Excellent balance and versatile tone.

The only DR I've used are the Black Beauties, other than that I've used Ernie Ball's which are great strings for the money, and Fender strings. For flats, only Fender 9050M. All other are round wound and diff't gauge sets.

Try 'em, it makes your sound, and a little fun finding your right/own sound.
