Jeff,
Have you looked at www.juststrings.com? (http://www.juststrings.com?) Depending on your scale and length they may be competitive.

Great price; but they don't appear to have Jazz Rounds, which is what I use.

Strings by Mail (http://www.stringsbymail.com/sublist.asp?tCat=5&tMan=48&dMan=Electric+Bass&tSer=260&dSer=by+Thomastik target=_blank) has a pretty good selection at reasonable prices (though sadly, not my JF365s, have to ask them about that). Shipping is $4, assuming we're all in the US.
 
I just found this place earlier this week, when I was looking for some different classical guitar strings to try. They had an amazing selection, and I got some really helpful advice over the phone in narrowing it down. Just for grins, one set I'm trying is TI KR116 - all rope core, with flatwound basses and nylon tape wound trebles - should be interesting.
