@Simon thanks for clarifying. I am not sure what to do next. I realised the strings I purchased are too short (the strings were missing in the kit). The company (RotoSound) have a long scale as well as a extra long scale.

The long scale strings are suitable for 34" scale length (my bass), but when I tried to put them on they didnt quite reach. Guess it has something to do with the fact that the strings feed up from the back through the body and that takes a bit of length away.
Ben posted me out another nut and the strings that were missing so I need to wait for them to arrive. I might try to exchange the strings I bought, but I feel bad cause I already opened the pack, and the owner has been super helpful. Maybe I will just cut my losses and wait for the pitbull strings to arrive.
....... Orrrrr ..... I could make the strings into tools! Expensive gauges, but how cool. I saw this hack on youtube this eve for re-using old strings and turning them into gauges. Great for checking spacing between strings and fret. And I can make them into art. Useful art! Expensive useful art! Enough for a setup i guess then i will order some white or black strings online. i think it would look awesome with white strings.
Check out this hack wow!

Oh yes, any suggestions on size and/or company to go with regarding the bass strings, preferably white/coloured?
I am a drummer from way-back-when, later on picked up the guitar, dabbled in electronics, learnt the didjeridoo, sang, and only ever-so-slightly tinkered with the bass. I need the new bass to complete my latest album, but first I need to learn it bahahaha!!!
