    It's ok if your Jimi Hendrix because well your Jimi Hendrix and that's the sound you need, if your playing a couple of Hendrix numbers amongst dozens of artists then you are going to need a couple of distinct sounds imo.

    In a previous band our front man had a strat for most of the set but he also needed a Gibson for some of the songs, he had a guitar tuned really weird for some killers tracks I think they were and one that was totally detuned a semi tone, the other guitarist just used a strat and a les paul.

    The guitarist in our trio has a Variax :D

    Suggestions for aggressive sounding nickel strings

    [quote name='D'AddarioUK' timestamp='1480006588' post='3180987']


    ProSteels are one of our brightest sounding strings, we make many of our more popular gauges in short and medium scale sets in both steel and nickel plated steel. If you're still interested in trying some nickels from our range our NYXL Bass strings are the brightest nickel plated steel strings we manufacture.

    What d addario strings do you recommend for my jazz bass. I'm after smooth strings that deliver a growly and bright sound. Thanks

    Jazz basses, what's the point?

    It may be heresy to say so, but in my opinion, the role of bass is to support, underpin, the rest of the band, not to cut through. That is certainly the case for the sort of music I have always played.
    [/quote]
    It's nothing worse than seeing a live band to hear bass thud thud thud, no matter what bass plays low or high tones.
    I think the Bass should be heard clearly not just thud thud... and if the guitar player plays solo there is a boost pedal.

    Now don't get me wrong, I love the aesthetics of a Jazz bass, and I love the sound when I play them alone (as you do when trying them out in a shop...) but whenever I turn up to play with a band and get one of my JBs out, they always ask if I've brought a P bass with me, as no matter who I play with, they always prefer the sound of the Precision.

    So I have a Fender Classic 60s Jazz, nitro finish, lovely beast, and a new US Standard Jazz both sitting in cases upstairs and I never get to use them in anger.

    Is this a common experience? I suppose in an ideal world I'd meet someone with a pair of little-used Precisions because they always play Jazzes and we could arrange a swap!

    Glad I got that off my chest, now back to learning tomorrow's set....on a Precision!
    [/quote]
    I mostly play p bass but find jazz bass more versatile and larger tone scale. I think it cuts through other instruments more than p bass so they don't like that.
