LaBella White Nylon tapewounds?!

Any experience with these? I have a fretless with Deep Talking Flats on it and I want something a bit different for my new Bongo fretless. I was looking up all the nylon tapes and came across these on BassStringsOnline.
Actually a clear nylon over a round layer I think is supposed to be brighter than the black nylon. Anybody try these?

Major tone breakthrough!

I just got a set from Bass Strings Online today and put 'em on my fretless J Bass. Oh baby! They sound great and are unbelievably smooth. Exactly what I was looking for. In the past few weeks I've tried Dunlop and D'Addario XL roundwounds, Ken Smith compression wounds, Fender tape wounds and GHS pressure wounds on that bass and they each were ok in their way, but the LaBella white tape wounds blow them all away. Better clarity, great fretless "mwah", great feel...
Can you tell I like 'em?

I have a set on the way. I want to try them on my fretted hollowbody Italia Rimini bass,but if i like them, i might also replace the Fender 9120 tapewounds on my fretless. (Which sounds a bit plastic-y).
