Question 6 string fretless

Sign in to disble this ad
I bought a 6-String fretless in may of last year and if had the original strings on for the past 10 months, broke a string, and figured its time to change em, I was wondering whats a good set of string for my 6 string fretless, something with a long lifetime and holds tones well especially on the low B, i play a variety of styles from slap to playin with picks, and i tend to play hard, i need strings that can take some abuse, any recomendations?

I use D'Addario XL Half Rounds on my fretless 6. Had SIT Powerflats first, but I wanted something a little more expressive

Lots of places carry them online. I use the new reissued nickel version NOT the discontinued stainless ones.
