Link Removed are very good flats I've discovered very recently. While not as supple feeling as the Thomastik JF's they are a very low tension string that are less percussive and "thumpy" than other flats. They also have a certain clarity that other flats don't. They make .125 and .130 B strings and sell everything as individual strings if you want to create your own set. I don't know how well it would work for you but they have a .110 and a very good range of E A D & G strings if you wanted to try making an ultra light 5 string set. A .110 B is really pushing it but being very low tension it might work.
As a longtime hardcore Thomastik Flat user I'm surprised at how much I like the Dogals. They may actually end up working better on the bass I have them on than the TIJF's. I'll know more in 3-4 months when they've started to break in. There's a review and discussion of them here.
