Roto Tru Bass 88 were my tapewounds of choice in my black nylon days, both for tone and feel. I had them on my '77 Jazz. They are what you hear on Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side, btw.
Maybe the quality has slipped over time? My set had a weird, clackity plastic tone, acoustically. Amplified they had detuned, springy rattling 'boing' to them. The E string in particular just sent out a weird array of harmonic overtones, with a rumbly undefined fundamental. They felt like a product that had another application, and somebody decided to fit a ball-end and market as a string.
Herbie Flowers was able to master them, but he is a monster player and musician, which maybe helps!
