Super Light 6 String Bass Strings

Hi everyone!

I have a little problem :yarr:

Since my childhood i am used to play the 40 - 60 - 75 - 95 - 125 Superlight strings.
It's just that i feel the most comfortable playing them. I tried to switch to 45 gauge quite some times
but i just could never get used to the the feel as with the 40 super light ones.

All is good with finding the super light strings for 4 and 5 string basses, but i noticed that
finding a 6 string bass set is a bit trickier.
The normal/common 6 string bass strings set is 45 - 130 with a 32 as a C string.

Anyone has an idea if the super light gauge exist?
( I saw Fodera sells some but would i really have to order d**n strings overseas??)

And IF no - would it be wrong combining a 40 - 125 set with a 32 string?

Any help would be appreciated. :)

Thanks

A .032 C will be much tighter than a .040 G, the tension match would be a .028 C. However there are advantages to having less tension on the C and using a .025.
For the sake of choice i suggest building a set from single strings.
.040 -.095 really is not 'super light' it has quite a lot of tension. Set naming is weird and varies. Super light would be a 4 string set .030-.085 as Rotosound sell.
