Six string set for acoustic bass guitar, MEDIUM scale?

I have a medium scale (32") five string acoustic bass guitar (ABG). I want to string it EADGC, not the usual BEADG. So I need to get a six-string set and toss the B.

All medium scale sets for ABG are 4- and 5- string, nothing with a high C.

All six string ABG sets are for long scale only.

Any advice?

-Use long scale strings on medium scale bass?
-Use electric six string set (if I can find medium scale)?

Thanks!
 
How are the strings installed?

Buy from a store that offers a set and a single. You may need to email them and ask if they have it available if not on their site.

Only bronze wound high c are made from DR and Thomastik. Then of course you can put flats or tapes on.
