Just go to a music store and purchase some. If they are out of stock have them order some. Sounds like you are going through unnecessary hassle.

Well, I did an experiment. I had a .125 low B lying around, and I decided to stick it on the thumb to see if it fitted. It did. It fits the nut fine(dunno how but it does), but it sits a bit high in the bridge. It soudns ok though(Ituned the bass CGCF). Is this safe?

Presumably, you will discover the answers to both questions if and when you visit the website.

Sheesh!!

Get a ****ing grip Nick! Strings Direct DO carry D'Addarios.

http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/Catal...productId=1120

BUT they don't, I think, take PayPal. Cheque or normal card, maybe?
