Best strings for a fretless?

[Mastermold]

I've got Fender 9050ML flats on my Squier Jazz VM fretless and was thinking about trying something with less tension.

Any suggestions?

Thomastik jazz flats have the lowest tension of any flats I have played. They are not so good with passive pups.

I like the DR Nickle Sunbeams, The Nickle is a lot softer than the stainless steel stings. The Sunbeams have interesting harmonic overtones that really make my fretless sing.

if less tension and roundwoundsound is wanted, get the fender tapewounds

+ theyre black and look and sound cool on my squier vinmod fretless


.... and do last forever ... AND wount damage the fingerboard !

Yeah I'd like to stick with flats to avoid damaging the fretboard. Thanks guys for the input, I'll have to try out a few options.

Well, $60 later (including shipping) I just ordered a set of TI Nickel Flats (.043 - .100, JF344) from Juststrings.com. For that price I hope they're as good as ya'all are saying!
