D'addario Half Rounds ENR71S short scale bass strings

Have they stopped making these?, they're listed everywhere, even on amazon, but no-one seems to have them in stock? I have a 67 EB2D I want to try with them. I suppose I could buy the long scale and clip them back?

 

I wouldn't fit long scale strings to a shortscale, especially flats or half rounds.  You will end up having to bend the fattest part of the string round the tuner.  I did this once with some flatwounds and the E string took great exception to this and delaminated itself, quickly and violently.

Thanks for that
