Good strings for fretted Warwick Alien Standard 4 A.B.G?

[Maxra]

I just bought a fairly unplayed fretted Warwick Alien Standard 4 string acoustic bass from 2012 - that's the cheapest Chinese made Alien known to man, with Fishman pickup, pin bridge and a laminated top. Currently it has some kind of tapewounds on (red silk at head, black at bridge) which sound dead acoustically. I intend to fit new strings. I'm interested in tapping, percussive body sounds and chords, with acceptable acoustic volume for home practice (within this bass's limitations), and I'd rather minimise string noise if I can also achieve that.

What strings would you suggest?

Thanks, Max

GHS Pressurewound Bronze. All the harmonic content and output of traditional acoustic bronze strings but without the screeches and the squeaks (or at lease very little of them).
