About string choice: if buying these strings for a homemade bass instrument, consider the strength of your neck. Generally, if you have not installed a truss rod, you will want to go with lighter gauge strings or perhaps medium gauge. For a conventional bass guitar that has a steel truss rod, medium to heavy strings may be preferred. Larger strings have to be tuned to higher tensions to reach the same pitch: so a .105 low E string will be somewhat tighter (higher tension) when tuned to pitch than a .095 string would be.
