Not too skinny but at the same time I came to realise a few years ago I don't like too much tension. I hate flobby strings but at the same time too much tension doesn't work with how I attack and dig in.
I have 130, 100 and 80 on my low strings, of which I will go down to Bb standard with fine. I might up by.5 for D-standard but they work.
Then there's 65, 45 and 30 for my higher strings...I guess I use a combination of both. :-P

+1 on the TI flats: 43/56/70/100.

I'm also trying a set of Fender CL9050 flats 45/60/80/105 on my Jazz. The other bass has Nickel Slinky's 40 55 75 100, not hyper light but lighter.

Nope, however was forced to use them on a defretted precision once, couldn't get a decent action with anything else, higher tension strings made the neck bend like an archers bow, sold it in the end.

Strictly 40-100's now, stainless rounds on the jazz, nickel rounds on the P. Tried flats once, hated them, too sticky !
