Carvin strings, scale length (35"?) or string thru (34")

Do they fit 35" scalers? I know Carvin basses are usually 34". So, what about their strings? Can I put them on my Cirrus 6er?

What about a strung-thru body 34" like my Fender Am Std V?

They do fit 34 inch scaled basses with body through bridges. I have two that I've used them on before. I'd call and see about 35 inch basses. It may depend on whether the 35 inch scaled bass was strung through the bridge or body. Have no idea about 36 inch basses.

Carvin makes 35" scale basses and wont ship the bass without anything other than their own strings on the bass.

Since the additional string length used through the body is only about 1.25", that only puts you at 35.25".

You should be fine.

Sorry - off topic:

I might be incorrect, but if I remember correctly Carvin strings are rebranded LaBella's. A great value if you ask me.
