Strings for an acoustic tone on electric fretless

Sign in to disble this ad
I want to try something with my 5 strings fretless : acoustic upright tone. I can get something similar to the new Alain Caron signature bass with round wound string. But I know I can get even closer with flat wound.

So my question is : which flat strings would be the best in your opinion to bring me closer to acoustic upright tone?

Thanks.

Nylon Tape wounds for sure, Rotosound makes a great set, I prefer them over the LaBella's, the E string is humongous on the LaBella set.
