LaBella HRS .128 not long enough for 35" scale Peavey Grind?

[MattC95]

Figured my situation might be fairly unique, since I have a not-as-common bridge setup on my bass. Searched for over an hour on here to no avail. I'm particularly fond of the LaBella HRS's- their tension, tone, feel, and that sexy black silk on the tapered end. I have a Hipshot D style bridge and tailpiece installed to give it that Alembic/Warwick vibe. This is the first set of LaBellas that I've tried installing on it, previously had D'Addario long scale ProSteels & DR long scale Black Beauties on with no issues. For the LaBellas, I think the tapered ball end of the B string sits fine, but it's cutting it MIGHTY close with the silked end. Ball to silk end is 37", maybe a little more when tight, and length from string anchor point to nut is 37". First time with this issue and fairly new to 5 string & 35" scale, hoping someone with more experience in this department can lend their .02c. I'd just order an extra long scal- oh wait, LaBella discontinued their HRS/Stainless Steel line for the Rx series . Exhibit A of my luck in a nutshell lol. Attached some pics for reference. TIA!

Looking at the second pic, you actually might be ok because once the string is installed and tuned up to pitch, it should stretch enough for the silk to clear the nut.

UPDATE: It's close, but like you said Michael, it turned out ok. Tuned up just fine and sounds excellent!

I was about to say, it doesn't really matter because they no longer make these strings!
