I've been on the official Lakland website, and I've heard some soundbytes. To me, they sound better with flatwound strings. I don't know why. Must be a matter of taste.

I had the same set of roundwounds strings in my 4-94 for about 2 years, and every time i played i was amazed by the sound... 1 weeks ago i put a ew set of rounds and it blew my mind.
I guess if i use flats it will also sound exelent |

I briefly owned a 55-94 that I bought used, strung with JO flats, and while it didn't sound bad, it robbed the bass of much of it's personality and flexibility. I just didn't 'get it'. |

I don't know about flats, I use TI rounds on my fretless 44-02 deluxe and it's the coolest fretless sound I've heard in a long time (and that's saying something).
most importantly .....
enjoy!
