Quite a specific strings question...

Hi there, hope this is the right section for this.
I've been a 1 bass + flatwound only guy for years, but with some recent reliability issues have felt the need for a backup and therefore an opportunity for roundwounds.
As you can probably tell, I love the old school tone of flats (even for slap), so have been looking at the warmest sounding rounds out there and the answer seems to be nickel; and DR sunbeams and TI jazz rounds come up an awful lot.
I really like the sound of the jazz rounds on the samples I've tracked down, but can't find anyone slapping them - does anyone out there have access to that? Or experience of it? £45 is a lot to spend on strings that might sound like ass when slapped.
Thanks so much in advance!
