Changing strings - Obligato

Upon my decission over the summer to switch my double bass tuning to 5ths, I just found out that Pirastro has a set of Obligato strings that are tuned in 5ths. To me, this is perfect. I've been playing Obligato strings for the past two years and I love the sound it produces from both pizzicato and arco playing. Furthermore, they are slightly softer than the Thomastic Spirocore strings that I was going to buy so this can help me get around the fingerboard a little better. Anyway, I'm very excited about this finding. I'll probably buy my strings in mid-October after a few gigs and take the plunge. The change is coming.
