Yes the light gauge will suit me and the bass better at the moment.
I have only been playing since June this year and the strength
of my fingers have a long way to go. 25 years of playing
electric bassguitar does not give me enough strength......
It´s true, a lighter set does put less pressure on the top.
I just swithched from Orchestra Thomastik Spirocore to
a solo set of the same brand and type. The orchestra set does
give a stronger and more projecting sound and are somewhat stiffer.
The solo set gives IMHO a warmer deeper bass and a little
more sonor (singing tone). For me the solostrings shorten
the journey from electric bassguitar to upright.
Kind regards,
