Rounds on a 32" scale

[Prime_BASS]

Currently the jack casady I now came strung with chrome di'ardio flats, a little old I guess now but they sound great, full of warmth and body, especially with fingers and surprising on the shorter scale.

However sometimes I notice that the higher strings can seem rather thin and it doesn't sou d to good when slapped, and since me an the band are becoming more experimental I want to have this ability on the jack casady. I don't really want to take my jaguar to slap the 2 songs I actually slap in. I know I could just use the jag but I want to use both on an equal amount. I'm also looking for the added sustain and overall roundwound tone that I lie on my jag.

Anyway, my worry is I've heard that short scale basses can sou d muddy and thumpy with rounds, I also don't want to lose any string tension.

I guess my question really is if anyone has had any experience with rounds on this bass how do thy sound? Also could anyone suggest a set that would be ideal, I've always previously used EB super slinks.

I had an Aria TSB550N which was 32" (medium) scale.
I used cut down Roto's (there wasn't much choice then locally, though I also liked Dean Markley's) on it, and it sounded great slapped.

I think it would be more to do with the PU.
