Q: I'm looking for acoustic bass strings for jazz tone. A long time since I bought strings . Could anyone recomend

Hi there,Thank you for your query.I would suggest looking Phosphor Bronze strings rather than bronze for jazz, as they have a warmer tone.The D'addario EPBB170s, which we sell, are a good choice for acoustic bass.Kind Regards,Rachel LongstoneSales & Customer CareRich Tone Music

Q: Also, what will the tuning be when the tensions in the strings are standard?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the tension being standard, however I can say that I've had my strings in standard tuning since I bought them, and the tension in the strings is just right after they adjusted :) Hope this answers your question

Q: will these fit my ibanez mikro 28.5 scale length

Hi StevenYes they will fit, you will just need to cut trim them down more than usual once they are fittedThanksJackRockem Music
