Recently I just brought Fender Select Jazz Bass from USA. Now I came back to my hometown and I didn't keep it in the cool place for awhile, so I noticed the string is drop automatically. After that I tuned string to correct note sound, but the E string is cannot tune by the tuner machine and harmonic note on 12th fret is move alittle bit, with out standing(check with tuner machine). So I have checked the neck and fret fingerboard its still Ok.
I have no idea what can I do, then I will try to change the string (hope hot weather here didn't damage my bass!)
Have anybody know what kind of string came with Fender Select Jazz Bass?
Thank you so much!.

It's very hard to say without being able to assess the instrument.
If the neck and fingerboard appear okay, it could be a string gone bad, or the intonation itself has gone off, possibly due to environmental conditions. It's also possible the neck has shifted and thrown something off.

Do you have someplace close to you where you could have it assessed, if need be?

I can't really tell you, but if it were me, I'd probably change all the strings and see where it's at once tuned up again. While the strings were off, I'd see if there was any looseness or room to tighten up the neck screws.

That at least gets you to a point of good strings and solid neck joint.
If you are comfortable and know how to check the setup, I'd do that next.
If not, and you can't redo a setup yourself, you would need to find someone near you who could.

Any of us can only tell you so much online, but start with the simple and work your way up.

I guess my mind went to quickly to repair mode.
Stock strings are listed as Fender Nickel plated steel, .045-.100
Not sure what actual set number that is.

Just toss on a new set of strings and go from there.
