well from what I can tell you there are a few different styles

roundwound - comes standard on most basses.

flatwound - good for fretless as it wont damage the fingerboard

they are also made out of different materials

some are nickel some are steal nickel tends to give a tone with clearer highs but i havent tried steal so I can't go into that, sorry.

My friend, I would be glad to tell you, but it would only give you a very small frame of info that can already be answered if you would just read through this first page of topics. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind you asking, its just that this entire string forum covers all of that information.
