fretless strings

now then, I have a Westone Fretless bass, which I am thinking of sticking in the for sale section but before I do, I think I want to stick a set of new strings on for the lucky buyer. I've not got any flats in the house and can't really afford to buy any at the minute, but I do have a brand spanking unused set of d'addario halfrounds. Will a half flat/half round string be ok on a fretless board? It won't wear it out too much will it?

I know nothing



well except that rounds can potentially knackered a fretless board unless you jaco it up a bit

you're quite right, i didn't think to look at that sticky, nor did it even register that I should look for it.
I thought I would ask a question and hope that somebody might answer it for me with their own opinion.

but I found the sentence referring to half round strings - "These work well on fretless basses." - which is enough for me.
