Flat wound vs round wound strings

In what seems to be an endless search for a tone I like on my G&L Tribute L-2000 so far GHS Pressure Wound Rounds are so far the winner but I happened to get my hands on a set of D’Addario half rounds and they sound different, much closer to flats than rounds but yet not quite like neither one of the two. If it wasn’t because I just had my p-bass professionally setup I’d be really curious to try those strings on it but it sounds great the way it is. It happened to coincide with this video.
