I had them on my Ibanez when I bought it. They are good. To be honest I can't really remember them feeling much different from your normal bass stings but they did keep a long long time. As for wether prosound stock them...dunno sorry.

Thanks for the swift response Shawn

I did phone the shop....
Ended up buying rotosounds from toms.....cheap!!
But I find them a little bright on the Jazz.
I think the guitar itself is a little thin sounding, it doesnt even have the bottom end of my Rick
Can anyone recomend a nice replacement pickup for the Jazz?

I will say thats what I've been looking at, my boy has one in his Jap Jazz...

Whats the word on the antiquity pickups? I dont feel I need loads of output, just a nice round warm sound.....
