I want to buy some really bright strings to put on my jazz bass for slapping
and popping.

Any recommendations?

I got some D'Addario Prism strings the other day and they're
alright, so far.  Not as much sizzle as I'd hope for but more
than many others.  Also got some gold Optima things but am
waiting for the Prisms to die before trying them. They claim
a bright sound and the gold supposedly makes them last.  At
least they'll match the quilted maple thing they're going on.
Fresh Rotosounds can be good.  And I used to like the stainless
steel Fender strings. They're reasonably low cost too. I haven't
used them in a while (couple of years) so they could've gone off
but I used to like them but of course YMMV.

Stainless steel roundwounds for sure. I like Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinkies and
DR High Beams.

Warwick Black Labels or DR Highbeams are my favourites.

I found the Warwicks seemed to stay fresher than the DRs (although the last
time I used DRs was in the summer which may have something to do with it)!
Cheers
