strings for me fretless

[artisan]

hi chaps,just got a new Corvette std' fretless active which still has the roundwound's that came with it.these seem to be wearing the fretboard away already so i was wondering what you fellow fretless players would recommend.
i love the sound of the roundwounds so thought about trying some groundwounds -
will flatwounds make it sound dead (i don't like 'em on a fretted bass)-
heylp

Rotosound Solo Bass have worked for me for nearly 20 years on the same bass. Still no need for any repairs to my ebony fingerboard.

cheers i'll order a set & give 'em a try.
btw the rounds arn't actually wearing the wood as yet they just seem to be lifting the colour off & it worries me a tad.

What's the board made of?

I went through the same thing.

The roundwounds mark the fingerboard a bit but nothing else. I like the sound of round wounds so i tried to comprimise with ground wounds and i was never happy. I now use roundwound on both my fretless basses both ahave rosewood boards and i dont think it has done anything but mark the board no damage as such if you get what i mean.
