Bright G String

[Bobzilla]

No, not Borat, but my E string has gone dead.  Quite old now, think they are Rotosound rotosound, 45-105.  E, A and D are still great and sing perfectly, but the E is as dead as a dodo.  

So what to replace it with?  I'm wondering whether a 40 would do better for a start, but any directions would be great.  And replace as a set, or try and get a single G?  Ta.

Bass is a P-Bass Lyte and I tend to play quite lyrical - I use my G quite a lot.

Typos in your post.

if you replace just the G, then eventuially the EAD will be dead but the G ok, so back to the same problem. Best buy a new set if they're old.
