So I play in a metal band and use both a 5 string fretted and 6 string fretless bass. On my fretless, I currently use the Elixir nanoweb-coated roundwounds; this is so I can get that round tone while being easier on my neck. However, they only go up to medium gauge. This was fine at first but now we're starting to experiment with lower tunings and I would like to have strings with a little heavier gauge.
So the question is: is there a good set of nice coated roundwounds that won't eat up my fretless but come in heavier gauges? Any and all suggestions are welcome.
