Back to round-wounds?

There is a certain attack at the start of each note that I think rounds can do but flats don’t. Consequently I am thinking of fitting one of my Precisions with a set of rounds - but which to get? I would probably favour consistency of sound over the life of the strings

Fender Nickel?

@JapanAxe if you like bright flats and you switch to rounds, next time try fender pure nickel strings, they sound very balanced, sound warm and are low-end heavy straight out of the packet. Fantastic strings often overlooked as I say, if you like vintage tone, these strings are the nuts!

I'll try to remember that in 2 years when I think about changing these! I am hoping that the magic Elixir coating will keep these strings sounding about the same (fresh but not over-bright) for a good long while.
