I've found I really enjoy that setup. I'm not a big fan of over the top fretless growl down low but a nice warm, moderate growl accenting the fundamental is a sweet thing. On the higher pitch notes the bright growl really stands out and is perfect.. I've setup all my fretless basses along these lines now.
I use both Smith slick rounds and compressors on my fretless basses. I currently have compressors on my Smith.

Bob, why do you like these strings over, say, the Stainless Steel Taper Cores?
