Double Bass extended range strings

I am going through this same issue now with my Ergo 6-string. I ordered Corelli 350's for E, A, D & G and the longer 370's for B & C and well, let's just say it didn't go well. I broke the low B and E strings - a $200 lesson learned. :-)

I emailed Jesse and hope to hear back soon, but what I am strongly considering is a set of NS Traditional Strings made specifically for the EUB. The NS scale length is the same as the Ergo, and the Ergo is just about an inch longer overall.

Does anyone have experience with using these strings on an Ergo?
