After 40 years of Roto rounds I am using labella white tapes 105s on both fretless PJ basses and Chromes 100s on the fretted PJ. I am really digging both setups. I never thought I would like a non roundwound string. Now I don't see me going back. I also have a Set of Labella 105 flats on the Stingray tuned down to D that has a huge fat sound. I will keep the rounds on my Surfcaster, for nostalgia.

Anybody changes to new strings and still enjoying them?

For the longest time I was nothin' but D'Addario- Nickels, Tapes, Chromes and Half Rounds. Recently I wanted to branch out and try something new. I put a set of La Bella Deep Talkin' Flats on my Squier Standard Precision V back in February and I'm still lovin' them 
Made a couple attempts to change strings, always come back to XL rounds. For some reason they just work for me.
