Oliv gauges?

[AndreasH]

I'm having problems finding the Pirastro Oliv gauges. Does anyone have this information?

I'm thinking of replacing the Garbo G with an Oliv to make it more arco-friendly, but i want know if the Oliv comes near the acoustic qualities of the Garbo G when playing pizz. I'm still going to keep the E-A-D Garbos though. Any suggestions on how this will work out or not?

Are you still looking?

The Oliv 'G' and 'D' gauges are here: http://www.thebassspa.com/

Anybody who can fill in the numbers for the 'A' and 'E', please email me directly! Thanks, Jake

Why not an Anima G? It bows pretty well IMO. Not like an Olive, but it reacts less to weather changes, and is far less fragile.

No, I'm not still looking. I eventually found the gauges and then went with plain guts instead
