For me bean it’s all about leaving space, sometimes less is more, if you want a driving bassline, this one by Robbie is superb, one of my favourite tunes, it’s not the easiest to play 🙂
I’ve got 2 jazzes with D’addario tapewounds, they are well worn in , they give a nice warm tone , which suits me but if you’re looking for highs they wouldn’t be good
Little bit of info here on groovewiz, out of interest, I’ll have to check my BB nut width later , it says here it’s 42.9 https://groovewiz.com/best-5-string-bass-for-small-hands/
I play jazzes and like a slim neck and I find my Yamaha 415 easy to play, I think the nut is 41mm , which is the same as my precision , hope this helps 🙂
Very nice Frank , and I like the grain in the wood ☝️, it’s very similar to my one , I think the block inlays may have been an extra on request , because when I ordered my natural finish one (I didn’t want markers) I was told they come without them unless it’s a signature model
I’ve had a set of those on a jazz for about 6 or 7 years, they did take a while to break in , probably about 6 weeks on and off, then they really mellowed and are even better now, I think I paid about £10 for them, bargain 🙂
I can’t help with roundwound strings as all my basses apart from 1 precision have flats, or tapes, I think @jazzyvee uses rounds, maybe he could advise 🙂
Might be worth asking if they will post, I really liked a precision a while back which was collection only way up north, and I asked if they would post and they said yeah sure 🤷♂️
