cheap single string for a school bass

Hi all,

I did the unthinkable (for me) yesterday and broke the A string on my school's double bass! I've never done that before.

The bass is an old clanger and the strings are probably the originals. The music department has no money to buy a new set (or single string) so I'll buy it for them.

The question is, is an £8 ebay special worth messing around with or not? I don't have enough to buy a good set, so the string will be unmatched anyway.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
