I would imagine any bass strings would work as long as they aren't marked as being short scale strings.

34 is standard scale, so use any normal strings.

On the D'Addario website there is a perfect answer to your question...

It says you can either buy the medium or long. Medium should work fine.

For a standard scale bass, you need the D'Addario "long scale" strings.

is it a 4 or 5 string? if 4 then anything really but if it's a 5 and you hate sloppy B's then I'd go with hexcore strings. DR and Sadowsky makes a really good one and I heard LaBella does too. I'm not sure if D'Addario makes hexcores or not but give any of those a try.
