I have tapewounds on my fretless SSII until I couldn't take it anymore and put rounds on it. My fretless Thumb, however, gets a decent Jaco sound out of it using tapes.
I tried out a RB Corvette fretless with those tape wound strings. Beautiful feel to them and the sound was great. Just wish I had the money to buy it right then and there
I had some Rotosound flats on my Corvette Std. fretless for a short time. I personally didn't like them at all. I got this really thud-like tone, almost percussive-ish tone, not to mention my right hand technique wasn't too great in those days. I switched back to rounds some time later.
