Tapewound sets - HELP please!

Well, I finally pulled the trigger on these Warwick tapewounds.... £31.74, delivered from Germany - it would've been SO much easier if the U.K. was still within the E.U. ... :-( Thank you once again for your help and advice - they certainly look nice and skinny, from the specifications!
That is a great price! You're very welcome. I hope they're not *too* skinny, per what we said above, but even in that case you've at least started building first-hand experience for not much coin, and will know what to look for next time (more brightness or less brightness; same tension or a little more, vs. quite a bit more).

Re D'Addario, they make a high C available as a single, the TWB035, and five sets total: four 4-string sets identical in gauges but in different lengths, with the three non-standard having the S, M and SL qualifiers added to the ETB92 codename (for "short", "medium" and "super-long" respectively), and one 5-string set in standard (long-scale) length, the ETB92-5.
