Optima is a small family owned business in Germany that makes some nice strings. They are probably most known for their 24carat gold plated strings, which last a long time but are pretty expensive. But they make a whole range of other "normal" strings for electric and acoustic guitar, jazz flats, bass strings, and so on, at more normal prices.
According to the Fender website the factory strings on this bass are Fender Nickel Plated Steel (.024-.084, Gauges) I'm currently looking at. La Bella 767-6F Bass VI Flatwound Electric Bass Strings 26-95; La Bella 767-6S Deep Talkin Bass Round Wound Bass VI Strings 26-95 ; D'Addario EXL-156 Nickel Wound 6-String Fender VI Bass Guitar Strings ...
Makes me want to try out some other custom gauge sets to see how roughly balancing tension on the E,B,G strings 9,12,15 and roughly balancing it on D,A,E 25,34,46 would feel. Or doing a progressively increasing tension set of 8.5,12,16,24,34,48 where each string increases in tension by around 1lb give or take.
Pyramid Strings are my favorite. I use the round core pure nickels (orange pack) on all my guitars. Used to use the blue pack hex core nickels until a few years ago, after seeing this I may need to revisit them. They sound great here, especially overdriven. Clean, I think I still prefer the...

I recently switched to Stringjoy for all my strings, and that set is perfect for my Fender scale guitars. Easier bends while retaining the firmness of .010s for chording, no flubby wound strings. Prefer the pure nickel Broadways (.010) for the Gibsons. Stringjoy's are great strings for sure, but they are pricey.
I ran across an advertisement on Facebook by a small string company in Nashville named Stringjoy. So I decide to try a set of 10s on my Strat and am very impressed. The have a clean bell like sound and feel great under the fingers. They also offer each string gauge with heavy, medium and light...
The strings are still OK for now but I will need replacements at some point. The problem is finding them. I've looked at the "usual suspect" sites and while I can find roundwound baritone sets, flatwounds aren't there. I might be able to put together out of individual bass strings and some long scale guitar sets but that's expensive and iffy.

I have the same guitar and use EB Mammoth Slinkies (12-62) on it in B-standard tuning. According to Stringjoy's tension calculator, that puts me right around the same tension as a regular set of 9's in 25.5" scale length. I think what you're experiencing is less about string gauge and more about appropriate scale length for the tuning.
