Has anyone tried these on a 35" scale bass?

In addition..can you tune a G string up to a C or is that too much tension?

You need the Super Longs for 35" scale.

Hi I am having the exact same situation.

But there is no super long version of EXL170-6 on D'Addario website.

What can I do？

Think its about time to make the switch to GHS?

There is a guy saying

I play 5's and 6er's, I like .... and D'Addario XL Nickels on my Yamaha TRB 1006 32-45-65-80-100-130's.

So this is the EXL170-6... Anyone could confirm this?

I saw some threads saying long scale of EXL170-6 is not good for 35", super long is the proper one. The problem is no super long version for six string available out there, can we just use long scale.
