i hope a bass string question is okay on the guitar forum...  i've played with compression wound strings and flats mostly.  i like the mellower sound and less fret noise of the above strings, but am still searching for a string that provides this but has a somewhat uneven surface.  can anyone tell me what the feel of the bass half rounds is like?  i find flats can be too smooth especially in humid conditions where the flats almost feel sticky because of too much friction/surface contact with your plucking fingers.

there aren't any side pics of the string surfaces on this site are there?  regards,
