Another great bit of advice. I can't emphasize that enough. As I've mentioned before, playing mostly 2 string early on forced me to figure out anchoring. So I learned to anchor with all 4 fingers. That in turn has helped greatly when playing 4 & 3 string bass. Though I tell myself I'll play 4 string to stay more in a box, it almost never happens. I guess I'm so used to playing horizontally it is automatic for me to anchor and move.
Changing strings on a Jazz is pretty straightforward. If you need help, there are likely some RUclips videos on it. (Maybe we should publish one here too! Hmm… 🤔) As for flats vs rounds, it really depends on the type of music you’re playing. For example, if you’re playing Jamerson-type Motown grooves, flats are great. For slapping and popping, go with roundwounds. Thanks, torgomax!

Great! Thanks for weighing in. 😀
Is it easy to put on a new set of strings on a Jazz Bass? What do you think about flat wound strings?
Flat wounds sound great on a P Bass.
