Paul,
Do you know what kind of strings comes with the JB5? I just received one yesterday from Bass Place. I'm not getting the growl I was hoping for. And in fact when I slap, the strings are clicking into pick ups.


thanks,

We just happen to have a thread that tells you the stock strings as well as what a lot of folks are using. Check it out.

OK, I just checked with my connection at the factory and it's D'Addario strings all around. 45-105 for the 4 strings and 45-130 for the 5 strings. Ken has a great link in his comment that talks about the strings gauges and, as he said, things occasionally change from time to time. As of today, this is what we got.
Paul

thanks a lot.
