As Donl recommends, a heavier B-string will give a tighter feel, but there
are not actually that many options in terms of size if you are already using
a .130 B-string, which seems to be fairly common with most 5 and 6-string
sets I've seen.

Personally the only manufacturer I know who offers a heavier B-string is
Thomastik-Infeld, who make a .136 B-string for their Jazz Flat sets.
However, I think theirs is the best B-string I have ever played, noticeably
less floppy than others and much cleaner sounding.

God bless,

Bruno
