Tapered / VS / Ordinary wound ?

[Ingemar]

Is there any established advantages for taper wound strings compared to ordinary wounded strings?

Does, for ex. tapered strings allways intonate better?

Is a tapered B str. allways more focused than an nontapered B str. of the same brand and gauge?

and finaly...
Which qualities are the most critikal to get good intonation, good balance in output and feel and good focus out of a set of B - G basstrings

i have found non-taper to inotate better, and sound better higher up on the neck.

tapered just sounded weird above the 12th fret.

No one else?

I thought this was "an hot potato"

I prefer taperwounds. Allows them to sit closer to the fretboard without that unnatural angle, and the also seem to feel more organic and friendly... so to say.
