Looking for a thicker G flatwound string

I have the Labella 760FM 109-49 on one of my Fender Precision basses. Great set, but the G string just has a bit too much give to it IMO. I would like something stiffer. I was thinking about using a G string from the Original 1954 Labella Set, but it's not easy to find singles for that set from Labella, so unless somebody can point me in the right direction I might have to look for an alternative.

Is there another easily obtainable, heavy gauge G string from another brand that might work? For example GHS has a 55, Rotosound has a 50, D'Addario has a 50, Ernie Ball Group flats offer 50 and 55 also. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. I imagine if I kill the string enough the tonal difference won't be too noticeable......
