I hadn't noticed anything tough about them.
As for purple silks.... I have some TI Power Bass on one of my Ps and I dig them.

Well, they can apply for EBCFs if they want, but last I heard, they always regretted that!
Quite a few of us dig them, but a couple of members have a cobalt allergy so remain undug.
EBCFs What specific set and gauge of strings do you like? Thanks!

I'm allergic to flats 
My callouses just don't know what to do with them!

And some don’t like them because they don’t care for the tone. I gave them a fair try on different basses, but ultimately passed them along.
I’m really just now using Flats and really loving them. Live I like the Rounds because they cut through but Studio Jamming I’m loving the Pyramid Flats!I'm allergic to flats

I originally played their orange Hybrid Slinky set (45/65/85/105), in part because I like symmetry, but lately it's been the yellow Regular Slinky set (50/70/85/105). Since I'm tuning my birds to D standard, I'm going to try a set of the purple Power Slinkies (55/75/90/110).
My BEAD bass just used the fatter five out of the green set, which I think is their only 5 string offering in CFs (45/65/80/100/130). I've never tried their skinny blue set.

Sure. I was just addressing specific questions and comments.
I'm currently using the 'pink' set(45/65/80/100)on the 67 NR. Really liking them. I EQ 'bass-y' so the 45 and 65 aren't too trebly-for me-but the 80 and 100 have plenty of bottom.
Primarily SIT Power Steels and Dunlop Marcus Miller Stainless Superbrights on most Thunderbirds and other basses. I have a few others. Like Black Beauties (which are coated stainless) on the Sparkling CAR Epi Custom Shop and DA tapes on the TV Silver Custom Shop. I use Chromes on one P bass. I have Gibson nickel rounds on the short scale Tbird.
That set of Power Slinkies is one of the few bass strings the local GC stocks. I got a set and used them on the BaCH for a few weeks because the nut that was on it was filed way too wide and deep. Once the Tusq nut arrived, I swapped them out for my usuals. I can look for them if you want them.
Who could withstand all the hype tossed about here.
But a bass or two might have to go.
I have two of the Ultimate Guitar stands. One like below and the other with the useless mechanical closing ears. I didn't want one like that but it was cheap years ago. Nice pick holder slots at the top as well.
