Rounds similar tension to tapewound?

[project_c]

I need to find some steel rounds (not nickel) for my Precision that are a similar tension to D'Addario XL Nylon tapes, does anyone know of anything that comes close? I'm trying to avoid having to do a whole setup if at all possible, the rounds will just go on for a couple of days for a quick project before the tapes go back on.

I usually like DR HiBeams so I might just go for those, but open to other suggestions as the HiBeams tend to sound a bit scooped on Precisions.

IIRC, all tape wound strings are rounds, under the tape. I don't imagine a set of rounds - especially D'addarios with a round core - would differ much in tension from what you have on there now. The rounds might feel noticeably less stiff (which is not the same thing), but that's a function of the tape. Other than that, can't help you much; I prefer flats on my P-Bass...

How long would teensy tiny adjustments to the action and truss rod and maybe the intonation take? Six minutes?
