You are most likely going to need some Extra Long Scale (or Super Long Scale depending on manufacturer wording) strings.

What is the scale length of the bass? What were the specific strings you tried?

I am guessing they were the Ernie Ball P02838... They only have one Nickel Slinky 6 string set... Those are Long Scale.

There are some Long scale strings that will fit a 35" scale bass. But that is not including the string through body.
