THOMASTIC FLATS, hmm ...
Everyone knows that most string producers tend to omit the important information how long the practical string length is. Thomastik Infeld is not only bad at informing, they are also completely unwilling to answer if asked. Sauerkraut! ;)

Well, I was in contact with Brink's Music in Katrineholm, Sweden, as I work a dozen stone throws from there. They could tell that the string lengths on a Long Scale set can actually be used on many basses with 35 " scale, if not strung through the body. Here are the actual lengths:

From the ball end to the beginning of the silk wrap.

G - 96 cm = 37.79"

D - 95.5 cm = 37.6"

A - 96 cm = 37.8"

E - 93.5 cm = 36.8"

B - 94 cm = 37"

I wanted to use their Jazz Flats on a Dingwall Super P5 with 32 "- 35" mens watch, which worked great, as seen here:
