Double Bass Mixing some strings, opinion?

This is a very simple thing, that I just want opinion on from you guys.

I Have BelCantos on my Calin Wultur, and DANG they sound amazing. Earlier, I had EP's on my bass. I liked the pizz, but it was way too bright for my bass, and orchestra playing. But, I do miss that E string compared to the BelCantos. Would it be weird if I used EP's E string, and Kept my BelCantos?

Thanks everyone! I have stupid questions sometimes.. :cool:
 
On my bass, the Bel E was also too dark for pizz and being lighter tension, I couldn't "dig in" when I wanted to. So instead, I use a Spiro 3885.5W 3/4 Weich E string. It blends perfectly with the Bel ADG in tone, tension and volume. YMMV, but it's a good mix.
