semi-flats / half rounds?

Not much interest here on TB but a lot of variations available online. I am using:
D'Addario Nickel Half Round on 1966 Gibson EB2D
D'Addario SS Half Rounds 50-105 on 1995 Fender P with SD P+J
SIT Silencers - Half Rounds on Squier Affinity 5 + Alembic Essence 5
D'Addario Bronze but changing to SIT Silencers on Fender Kingman ABG
And have 50-105 Chromes waiting for MIA Precision to arrive.

The end result is that I the clarity, tone and smoothness to the touch. Am looking forward to trying the Chromes on the MIA Precision.

 

I knew about the SS D'Addario Half Round being discontinued. When I found my P bass in a pawn shop, it was just strung with a new set of SS with the packet still in the case. They sound so good, I can't bring myself to replace them, so I hope they last for years.

 

When I took the EB rounds off my Alembic Essence 5 and fitted the Silencers which I liked on the Affinity 5, the change made me think I had a mismatch. The next day I made a slight change to the EQ to a smile to drop the mids and now I am completely happy with the sound.

I bought perhaps 3 packets of strings during my 1st 35 years of playing. Never really knew you had to change them. Over the last 6 years, I have bought perhaps a dozen and started to experiment to unfortunately learn that each instrument is different as are my expectations for each instrument I guess 'cause I have more basses than I ever had before. For most of my time as a bassist, I never had more than 2 at a time and some stayed for many years.
