solo-sounding G or D

Ijust tried a set of Obligatos and found the perfect E & A....however I am not too fond of the G & D...my bass teacher recommends Kolstein Varicores....I will either get Varicores , Thin Helicore Orchestras , or Pirastro Permanents...

i have a set of permanents on the way. i'll post about them as soon as i can decide which bass to put them on, and unfortunately for everyone who wants to know about them, it wont be my good bass. it will be one, or both of my backups. but anyway, no matter what string i put on the kolstien it sounds great, so maybe it is a good thing after all.
