Now I think the flats it comes with sound awesome, it’s the nicest stock sound of any of my basses but the tension is just too high for comfort for me. Can anyone recommend a lower tension set that would work or god forbid a set of more compliant rounds? Heresy committed. I've put that set of Prosteels I mentioned before on. The JMJ now sounds big, punchy and nasty. Perfect for me.It feels a lot more rock n roll. I do like it with flats but I much prefer it with rounds. The neck doesn't need any tweaking. The set up is still bang on.The string tension feels a little less too. Edited August 29, 2019 by Low End Bee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must sort mine out as the standard set are spoiling my enjoyment of this great bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 If you have a guitar guitar local they’re doing free restringing with Ernie ball strings. Worth trying a set of your choosing for free! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
