Omni Bass string options

Hello, everyone

I'm not sure if I should post this here or in the double bass section, but since we'll be talking about a 34" scale instrument I thought this is the more adequate place to post the thread.

So, as you can probably see from the title, my question is about the options I have to string my Omni Bass (NXT4). Other than the NS710 set by D'Addario, can I use regular bass strings? The ones I had in mind were also D'Addario - the XL Chrome ECB81M. Are they adequate or should I stick with the NS710?
 
Bump! I just purchased an Omni Bass CR5, and I want to restring it in “High C.” The D’Addario dedicated strings would be fine, but they charge two arms and three legs to ship an envelope with five strings to Canada.

Any alternatives that sound good on the Omni?
