what effect do the strings have on the "feel" of a bass ?

I love the smooth feel of the Cort Action bass that I play for my church band (it`s theirs; they won`t give it to me), but the p bass I own plays real "tight". If I were to get new strings , would my p bass play more like the Cort?

it might,it could also be the tuning or the make of the bass,check and see how your church tunes their bass.well thats about all the info i can supplie.hope it helps.
