Super Long D'Addario EXL1705SL

Hi all
Yesterday I bought a new set of strings for a regular 5 strings 34" inch scale bass . I then noticed that the box says (Super Long) and I have been on the D'Addario website for it but I am not really familiar with the terms. Strings here
Are these going to be okay or is better I get a regular long scale rather than these?
Thanks
 
The difference between D'Addario "long scale" and "super long scale" is in the winding length (ball end to taper), 37" vs. 38".

What type of headstock does your bass have? Fender-style with the tuner post for the low B closest to the nut, or 2+3 with the tuner post for the low B farther up from the nut? 38" winding length on a Fender-style in-line headstock would mean some of the full winding on the low B would end up wrapping around the tuner post, which is not ideal.

Measure the distance on your bass from where the ball end is seated to the B tuner post and see how the 38" winding length would fit on it.

This ^ Let us all repeat the mantra:

1) measure from the ball anchor to the tuner side of the nut;
2) measure from the ball anchor to the center of the (in this case) B string tuner post;
3) purchase a set of strings with a winding or speaking length between these two measurements.

If I may add to @michael_t 's comments:
1) The difference really matters on the B string, because if you get too long a string, then you have to wind speaking length around the tuner post, increasing the risk of string breakage.
2) The E, A, and D tuners are probably far enough up the headstock the strings will work with only the leader going around the tuner post.
3) The G string is thin enough that it doesn't matter. D'A does not taper their G strings, at least the 40, 45, and 50 gauges. Remember: an acoustic guitar typical set has a low E string of @ 53 which is wound around the smaller guitar tuner posts.
4) If it is a problem, all is not lost: just purchase a B string in regular long gauge and everything will probably work.

The B post is very close to the nut, bass in question is same model as this https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/322640760774523559/
