Default Knobloch 'Double Silver' bass strings, medium tension.

These are really nice on my slightly bass-shy guitar; as compared to D'Addario EJ45s, they have a satisfying weight that's not there in the D'Adds, and also
do not have much of a metallic quality that I hear in strings like Savarez Corum
or Cantiga. The tension seems about the same as EJ45 basses, definitely not higher. They're a little pricey but maybe worth checking out.

My present set:

EJ45 1 and 2; Knobloch carbon medium 3; Knobloch Double Silver medium 4-6.

You might add to your catalog the following basses. I tried them on an A resonance Rainsong parlor.

Hannabach Silver Special 815 SLT 17 super low tension strings. I noticed a curious distinction between the trebles and basses, the former emanating from the top's surface, the latter from deep within the body.

Pepe Romero PEPESR Clear Nylon HT: extra dimensional, super rich, great sustain, borderline overwhelming.

Aquila Rubino Normal: powerfully lush presence, maybe too much.
