I've got 2 sets of NXB45s both removed from fretted necks after a few hours use & I was surprised to see where the black had worn away over the frets. They should be ok on a fretless, you don't use a pick do you? If you want a cheap set to try let me know, where are you & what bass are you using?
TBH - I'd stick with flats, if you like black nylon try GHS 3060s they're really smooth & sweet sounding, nice tension & better sizes than the Roto Tru-bass, in fact if your nut has been filed to fit Tru-bass you'll probably need a new nut for almost any other strings!
