String Replacement Question

I have been playing with D'Addario NYXL strings (45-100) for a few months. I love the tone. I love the tension. I don't really care for the roughness. I'd like to replace these with either a flat wound or a smoother round with the same tonal and tension characteristics. The bass is a passive jazz bass, 34" scale with T-bird pickups, which give it a fairly wide range on tone. I'd appreciate some string recommendations that get close to the NYXL tone and tension.
