Best bass guitar strings for a fender jazz bass but i play classic rock?
I have a fender active deluxe jazz bass and i recently took the strings off cause the bridge looked messed up. im taking it up to guitar center today for them to restring it. So my question is, what bass strings would be right for me? I have a jazz bass and i play mostly 70's classic rock and slap funk.
Answer:
During my 10 year musical career I've basically sworn by Ernie Balls. The bassist in my band now, however, swears by D'Addarios and he plays funk in a side project, folk in his dad's band, and death metal in my band. So I think a good starting point would be D'Addario Pro Steels in whatever gauge you feel comfortable with.

How to Practice Jazz Bass Lines
New Orleans around the end of the nineteenth century was like a melting pot of different cultures and forms of music. You had plenty of improvised jazz music on the streets, in funerals and during the Mardi gras festivals. The pioneers of jazz were possibly one of the popular brass bands during the 1880-1884 period. The brass band music quickly spread to dancehalls, saloons and indeed the dubious districts by the end of the decade. Thanks to jazz music New Orleans acquired popularity as a place of perpetual fun. Jazz music which grew out of blues music was actually blues with instruments.
The popularity of jazz music, due to its rhythm or swing, improvisation and lilt received a fresh boost with the advent of the radio which all but killed the record industry. Today there is a fresh awakening of interest in learning jazz music. Thanks to the internet there are a large number of web sites which teach how to practice jazz bass lines.
One such web site has more than 140,000 videos with trained professionals, some of whom have learnt from the Beatles, teaching how to practice jazz piano. So you could start by seeing your instructor teach the basics on a piano. The basics could be how to create a bass line, how to play an octave and how to try and walk rather than to jump while using your left hand. You can practice jazz bass lines for jazz piano in G major, in A major, in C major and so on. The professional will teach you how to improvise in Db major and on playing a walking jazz piano bass line.
When you are comfortable you can practice jazz piano and learn how to play the popular “Besseme Mucho.” The advantage with the system is of course that you can repeat the video as many times as you like. The introductory course is free of charge. The entire exercise is relaxed and friendly. You feel totally at home even as your instructor teaches the lesson and shares various tricks and tips in the process.
