The La Bella "thru-body" version has extra length added at the ball end to the standard "long scale". So, as long as your bass is 34" scale, the "long scale" should be long enough as long as they're the "thru-body" version.

Actually I was wrong. I always thought the "thru-body" version was naturally longer than the standard version.
That doesn't seem to be the case according to this thread: La Bella through body flatwounds on Telecaster Bass (pictures and remarks)
