Nature teaches us that every believer should be a soul-winner. [As Andrew Murray said,] “It is an essential part of the new nature. We see it in every child who loves to tell of his happiness and to bring others to share his joys. Missions is the automatic outflow and overflow of love for Christ. We delight to enlarge our joy in Him by extending it to others. As Lottie Moon said, “Surely there can be no greater joy than that of saving souls.”

Hey Guys (and Gals)!
 
Sorry, I haven't posted in a LONG time and now I find myself in need of your combined expert advice.  I recently, - ok, May 03, not really recent, eh? - purchased a 'previously owned' Warwick Streamer 5 string (serial number indicates it was made in 2000 - if that matters).  
 
Even though I wasn't particularly looking for a 5 string, I really love almost everything about it.  I've just become accustomed to that extra string and find myself using it more and more - which brings me to my question.  I've been told that the floppiness of that B string, is pretty much the nature of the beast.  I do not know what kind of strings are on it (same ones which were on it when I purchased it - doubt they aren't original).  Reading about Ned and his 6 string question prompted me to ask:  to get a tighter B string should I go lighter or heavier; and, specifically what size do you reccommend? 
 
Also, are there any adjustments I could make on the bass itself to tighten that one string?  I'm comfortable with the action on the rest of the strings.
