What kind of strings do you guys use on your 6 string fretless?

right now I'm using flat TI's but i'm not really impressed with the sound (and the price)...

Any suggestions?

I use Circle K on my fretless 6 and dig them a lot... if you are afraid to put rounds on it, try some SIT powerflats (groundwounds).

My 6-string is going through a re-finish, but my fretless 4-string has Circle K's and my fretless 6 will as well.

I guess I'll have to overcome my fear to put rounds on my fretless...
I've never used Circle K's, I think it's time to give em' a try!
Thanks!!

I have Warwick EMPs on it right now (the CS people toss in two sets, you can't NOT use them?). Looking to probably put some GHS Pressurewounds on it.
