Rounds which sound like flats

[Gianni "Orlandez" Orlati]

As described in the original post, it's a feel vs tone thing.

Yes yes but again feel and tone .. I was used to roundwound strings roughness .. not anymore now but I may catch up easily no issues .. but the tone .. uh .. nothing like that of LaBella DTF 760FL, so I’m not going back.
Hence the matter at hand may not be as much of a discussion topic as it could seem at first sight, at least for those who crossed the illuminating door of the old-school flatwound strings tone.
You want that tone? Get flats! You want the roundwound one? Get the rounds!

GHS Balanced Nickels. I play them on one of my basses. After the new string zing wears off, they settle in nicely, and actually take on a little bit of the woody quality usually associated with Fender "golden era" flats.
