Default Strings to tame the Emerald X30 boomy bass?

My X30 currently has Elixir light (12-53) bronze 80/20. I play fingerstyle with my bare fingers (no picks, no finger picks, no nails). While the guitar sounds balanced when played with a pick, it sounds quite bassy when played with bare fingers, especially the low E. I wonder if there are strings that could do the job of taming a bit the low end.. Any suggestion is welcome!

I'm not a finger style player but Dogal Nightclub V25 80/20 Bronze strings (round core)
(.011 .014 .016w .022 .030 .042),
should be less bassy than the current strings you are using.
Unfortunately these Dogal strings have gotten pricey.
