Strings from the "Silencers" series from the American company SIT (Stay In Tune) are some of the newest and most technically advanced strings on the market. Their traditional hexagonal tempered steel core is fitted with a nickel-plated steel winding, the top layer of which is then pressed using a special process. This leaves the inner layers of the string untouched, allowing them to retain the great sound characteristics of a cylindrical wound string, yet provide smooth and comfortable playing with a minimum of unwanted noise, just like a smoothed string. These strings are especially suited for fretless basses.
