I've been using Rotosound Swing Bass 40-90 (short scale) on an SCD fairly successfully. I know it's not the 35 that the OP might be seeking but it's a very light set overall. For me, they seem to start very bright but fade quite quickly. One of the benefits is that the Rotosounds (designated short scale) fit really well despite the extra length required by the tailpiece. They're also silked (which I prefer if using gold plated hardware). I'm in the UK where Rotosound strings are very inexpensive - I'm not sure about US prices. As an alternative, TI rounds are worth investigation (TI JR324). Again, these are designated short-scale but there's no problem with fit for an Alembic Short Scale small bodied bass. TIs are also silked at both ends. They're a very expensive string but round core and extremely low tension (something that I prefer). Gauges are 42, 56, 69 and 93. They don't feel to me like any other string - very smooth and compliant. TIs are very expensive in the UK and probably the world over - sourcing the short-scale variety is also difficult (at least in the UK). For cheap and cheerful options, there's also Fender 5250 (40-95 Extra light short scale) these seem to fit fine and are pretty light as the name suggests, or D'addario EXL220M (40, 60, 75, 95) - again, light, good length and reasonably bright, indeed, very similar to the Fenders. I've used all of these on Alembic short-scales and without any problems. I do tend to find that securing 35 strings isn't easy, though there are custom makers in the UK (Newtone) that will do very light sets - or anything you might want - at a reasonable price. Just another observation, I found the Brown Bass that I had to have 'darker' tone than the SCD - it was also a little 'chunkier' in the neck (poor choice of adjective but it's all I can think of) and responsed better to slightly heavier gauge strings - 40-100 or even 45-105.
