Davis does re-stringing of guitars/ basses. they have a good selection of bass strings as well. do check their charges first... 
yes they do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_Strings
action = height of the string from fretboard.
:mrgreen:yes it will depending on what kind of string you changing and the most important thing is the gauges size.it will make your bass sounds brighter depending on your taste.

string gauge is not proportionate to brightness... you can have a 'fatter' or 'thinner' sounding gauge, but i feel brightness is determined mainly by the age of the string and what the string is made of - flat- or round-wound, stainless steel or nickel or other alloy, hex or round core. for example, a pack of .45 d'addario prisms will sound brighter than a pack of .45 d'addario XLs, simply because of the way the string is constructed.
eric- what colour are the ball ends (the part that prevent the string from slipping through the bridge) on your string?

Was in Davis last Friday. No stock of the DR strings at present. You might want to give them a call to find out when the stock will be in.

was there yest. The DR strings arrived but no lowriders =((
Davis doesn't bring in much of the range, and won't bother bringing in special requests unless you have a minimum order of 6 packs.
If you're not adverse to internet shopping, then I'd suggest you check out
1. Stringthis.com (Int'l shipping = US$28)
2. Juststrings.com (Int'l shipping = US$35)
If you have a vpost account, then shipping will be cheaper.
Slightly off topic here, but I thought I'd introduce this brand of "cheapo" strings for those of you who are tired of paying so much for strings and wish you could change them out more often - www.webstrings.com
With plenty of gauges for everyone and at only US$10.99 a pack (int'l shipping is US$6 + 15% cost of strings) there's no reason not to try out a set just to see if these generic brand strings can hold their own against paying 2 - 3 times more for other brands.

hm... it's not difficult to restring it, really. just observe how the strings are currently strung, get a pair of wire cutters and you're good to go
if you're still unsure: http://www.tunemybass.com/bass_string_change/
diy, can spend the extra cash on better strings

stringing it is pretty easy, like tying shoelaces. just stick the end into the hole of the tuning peg and turn until it reaches the note. they will loosen overnight, so just tighten up in the morning.
