Strings recommendation

Looking for a recommendation on strings for a fretless 5er. It's currently wearing EB Chrome flats. I want the roundwound on fretless sound that I get from my fretless Warwick Corvette, that really bright, mwahh filled sound. My fretless 5er had the chrome's on before an electronics upgrade and now I feel it deserves the roundwound treatment. Ideally I don't want it to eat the fretboard but aware its a risk and I'm happy with that. 

I like quite a light string for this bass. Had both steel and nickel rounds on it before. The bass will be used for all manner of 80s covers. And also, it's a bit of an experiment to see if I can live without the Warwick fretless. 

Thanks in advance!

Elixir rounds, light gauge. The Mwah never dies because they last so long, and I feel they are pretty kind to fretboards, too. 

If you were going to try flats again (though I know you want a round sound) then EB Cobalt flats come in a very light gauge and they have that round sound too, although they do mellow after a fairly long time.
