I don't know why they feel tight then. These are lighter strings than the other Pirastros. Maybe your bass needs some adjusting. What is the neck camber like from nut to end of neck root? Is the neck under the fingerboard perfectly straight or bowed under the fingerboard along with it? These things will make any bass feel tight.
