Unhappy Helicore Orch..

I have had about 9 Basses to date with Helicore's orch. on then when the Basses came in. When I got in 6 Corsini Basses they all had Helicore strings. Some bowed well and some did not. Some Es were .105" and some .110. They were not consistant in size or sound and all were the Helicore Orchestra model from the same batch shipped to JR Music to put on their Basses.

I know that Basses vary but the string gauge should be consistent from set to set, no?
