How to get flatwounds for my 35 scale 6 string bass?

Labella or pyramid. Shoot em an email.

A Jazz Flat low B doesn't fit my 35" Turner without the silk crossing the nut.

They do make an extra-long version, but only in a 5-string set (JF365):

(The normal-long high C may, or may not, fit an extra-long sixer.)

The Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Flat low B is only .136";

You are correct; thanks for the correction.

Thomastik do a Jazz Flat 366 i.e. 36" set but I think it's only a 4. A Jazz Flat low B doesn't fit my 35" Turner without the silk crossing the nut.

Here's how it works for me...

Dogal Jaco flats come in 35" scale 4, 5 & 6 string sets. Not cheap but they are excellent strings.

I like the fact they have three different gauges and offer everything in single strings too.

So I need 37-plus for a 35 long scale? Will a daddario 32 gauge be fine for my high string? Thanks

D'Addario "long scale" = 37.1" from ball end to silk = long enough for 35" scale as long as it's top-loaded and not thru-body.

Thank you, brother.
