: : Hey all- I play an Epiphone Jr. Accu bass and I'm wondering which strings would be best for plaing a mix of jazz, rock, and funk. On the idea of string gauge, I prefer not to be able to bend the strings all that much, if indeed that's a normal thing on bass... thanks!

: Hey Austin, as a personal preference, D'Addario Prisms are a great string. I've played everything you can think of, from jazz, folk, rock, to death metal (ha ha). They sound great no matter what you throw at'em.

Perhaps D'Addario Slowounds. You can get them in individual gauges. My preference...45, 65, 85, 110.
