Whamolas typically use regular 34" scale strings.
The longer you will find will be 40" strings at http://circlekstrings.com .
That or use a double bass string.

Octave 4 Plus can make you custom strings, on the site they say up to 43" scale, but I suspect they can go much longer, you could email them to find out.
