Flatwounds with roundwound sound.

Galli Strings JF45105 Jazz Flat Bass LS can do the work

I’m trying to find a string that won’t chew up the fingerboard of my fretless, but sound similar to roundwounds
I've seen recommendations for the GHS Pressure wound, but not sure whether they are fingerboard friendly. A flat wound that comes nearest to a Jaco sound, basically. TIA.

New Chromes.

I thought I had found "my string" with EB Cobalt Flats. Love the feel, good tone - close to roundwounds. But in the 30 years or so I've played bass I've never had a string break until EBCF.

My set rusted. A first for me.
